Title: My Rennaissance Project (Enlarging the armies- The Full English page 12)
Post by: matakishi on November 21, 2021, 09:26:36 PM
I'm working on a large Rennaissance project at the moment. I'm assembling six different armies to use with Neil Thomas' One Hour Wargames rules.
I'm planning to end up with Landsknechts, Conquistadores Aztecs, Elizabethan sea dogs, Border Reivers and Ottoman Turks.
I've started with the Landsknechts. Here are the first miniatures, four infantry units, the maximum I'll need. Miniatures are all Artizan.

(https://www.matakishi.net/uploads/4/0/8/7/40876893/rennaissance-troops-landsknechts-033_orig.jpg)

Each army has ten units, from which six are randomly drawn to form armies for the scenario being played. So, not a massive undertaking but still substantial.
More about my plans, and lots of photos on the project page here:

Looking good. A nice manageable scale of a project.

They look splendid! I like what you are doing basing wise.

Irregular Wars is a good set of rules, and should cross over nicely force size wise. You will need 1 more figure to make an Irregular Wars army from the OHW ones - and that is a leader. He attaches to a single unit in IW, but it is important to know where he is.

Nice, as are all your projects.
I do admire your ability to plan AND finish things.

Echo all of the last sentiments.  Great job but it’s the planning and ability to finish what you start that is equally impressive

I'll almost certainly paint some leaders, I like to have them on the table even if they don't do anything.

Two units of swordsmen complete the Landsknecht foot. Now on to the cavalry.

The completed Gendarmes are the two last units in my Landsknecht army. However, I'm going to add in a pair of guns as an option to replace the mounted crossbowmen if desired and some commanders in case I want to play the Irregular Wars rules.

"I am planning to produce about four (maybe more) armies to play Neil Thomas' One Hour Wargames. These armies consist of six elements drawn from a pool of ten so I shall be assembling and painting all ten options (and some extras, more on those later)."

Really love this overall idea for the project, matakishi, as well as how nicely the army came together.

Looking forward to how it all develops!

There are a lot of us here that remember those old photos of Landsknechts it seems. They were a big influence on me at the time too.
Here are some more Aztecs. Veteran warriors this time, 10 to a base.

I'm currently working on my Knights which will complete the army except for the commanders. Here are the Eagle Knights waiting for me to paint the Jaguar Knights so they can be based together.

The project is still small in comparison to some. I've planned six armies but may have to stop at four because of financial restraints. Time will tell.
Once the Conquistadores are finished I'll have some games with what I've got and see how it goes.

Here are the current Conquistadores based. These are mainly the centre stands for the four infantry units, I'll be painting the arquebus and crossbow armed  'wings' next.

It's funny, these Elizabethans are not dressed very differently from the Spanish in the previous army and yet they seem to have a definite English look to them....
Ah, that's because they've had none of that foreign cooking. lol lol lol

Yes! Is the short answer.
It depends WHEN in the 16th Century.
Henry VIII was a good Catholic Prince till he went 'bad'  :D
In fact the British Monarchy still use the title, 'Defender of
the Faith', a title given to Henry by the Pope no less. A title
they surely should have given back. lol lol lol

By the way, if you ever need more Elizabethan musketeers, take a look at Casting Room Miniatures' Elizabethans/Tudors. I don't really like most of the figures in the range, to be honest, but there are a couple of packs of musketeers which look like they're by a different sculptor and which look pretty similar to the Foundry Swashbucklers and Seadogs. SB041 and SB042 are the codes.

You're correct, those are variations of figures from the Sea Dogs range. I don't need any more muskets but I'll bear them in mind just in case.

She's a 3D printed resin miniature. Unfortunately, the listing has ended and been replaced with a Victorian version. Worth contacting the seller though, I've found online printers are very accommodating.

​Some photos from the first two games I played with my long-term opponent Mark. We played the first two scenarios from the rules. Each was completed in under an hour with the Landsknechts winning the first and the Elizabethans winning the second.
The rules are simple to learn and give a satisfying game. Success!

Excellent and bonkers - in fairly equal measures!

Really like the idea of this force, and your execution of the painting and modelling.

Here's my next addition, more Scottish cavalry so I can have a fully mounted army if I want one.

Many thanks to everyone who followed along with this project and added encouragement. I may revisit this thread when I make some buildings or if I film any games but otherwise, that's it, the show's over.

This has been a great project to watch grow over the last year (had to go back to the first post to check that!)

The wagons are cool, and are always handy for scenarios, or just table dressing.

Good commitment to have a target and meet it with such splendid looking figures!

Right, with my ACW project completed I'm returning to this one to increase the size of the armies a little.
To update you on progress, I've sold the Aztecs and Religious Peasants and decided to add units to each of the four remaining armies to bring them up to eighteen. This total was set by my already enlarged Scottish (see above).
Here's a video explaining everything:

https://youtu.be/lbIFc1kY_Ws?si=htcFod-kWlvVE9i4

With the Scottish done I've started with the Spanish as they'll take the least amount of work.

I've changed the swordsmen bases in the infantry units to pike to make them European army rather than Conquistadores.

(https://www.matakishi.net/uploads/4/0/8/7/40876893/renaissance-2023-larger-armies-spanish-018_orig.jpg)

The new infantry:

(https://www.matakishi.net/uploads/4/0/8/7/40876893/renaissance-2023-larger-armies-spanish-012_orig.jpg)

The old centre bases become swordsman units.

(https://www.matakishi.net/uploads/4/0/8/7/40876893/renaissance-2023-larger-armies-spanish-011_orig.jpg)

And, finally some Reiters.

(https://www.matakishi.net/uploads/4/0/8/7/40876893/renaissance-2023-larger-armies-spanish-022_orig.jpg)

Here's the new, enlarged Spanish army.

I like your use of colour to reinforce the army's nationality.

As an aside from the figures, how do you add artillery to NT's rules?

I use the artillery rules from another section.

I think this may be my favourite project.
Anyway, here are the additions to my Elizabethan English army.

First "full English" I've had in a long while that hasn't left my arteries creaking!!!

Lovely work.  I have the raw material for an Elizabethan English army in 15mm for FoG:R; sadly, the rule/army list writers fell for the propaganda and made it a really crap army, which I suspect it actually probably wasn't - certainly not when fighting on its own soil against a landing from the Armada (see the Roger C. thread for a brief discussion on how things would probably have gone).
