Pre-View: Renaissance Civilians
Hello all together,
I got the new greens (or greys?) from Paul Hicks on the 16th of April at Salute. And I am sure you will agree that he has done a wonderful job on them! It was my highlight of Salute to get the new civilians in my hand.
The miniatures will be send to Griffin moulds tomorrow and I will get a huge stock from them.
I have taken some pictures with the miniature including the final codes and blister names. Each blister will cost 5,95€ (around £5,20 or 8,50$). Command sets, civilians and other small-needed-amount miniatures will be a bit more expensive. For core infantry I will try to keep the price as low as possible.
Once I get the message from Griffin that the moulds and castings are finish you can pre-order these lovely miniatures.
But now up to the pictures.
LC 01 - Beyond Good & Evil: This is a set including a priest with a wine cup, cross and long coat, a strupet pulling up her cloth, an horroractor with his beastmask on and a beggar. This set represents - as the title says - the down and ups of the renaissance.

LC 02 - Countryside: This set includes a hunter with his lovely huntingdog (hound from eBob), a lumberjack marching out to cut some wood and a peasant with his typical sword and a basket full of goods.

LC 03 - Citylife I: This blisters includes a Landsknecht guard sleeping on duty, a harold with important news, a smith with the newest armour he has done and a woman with a broom, sweeping away the dust in the yard.

LC 04 - Citylife II: This set includes one woman with a pot in her hand, a young girl with a newborn, a shoetrader with his stuff on a stick and an unarmoured Landsknecht thinking about if he should spend his money on new shoes.

wonderful! :)

Lovely stuff. What with these and the LAF range, anyone who wants to do a late medieval/early modern town will be laughing.

Very impressive, with a lot of unique poses that one doesn't often see. I think the Hunter with his Dog is my favorite piece...
-
Very nice! :o
-
Paul has certainly done you proud with these, good luck with them, though I don't think you will have any trouble selling them.
Looking forward to seeing more of the range in due course

I've been checking your blog regularly to see this develop and now I can't wait until they are released! :-*
-
Very nice work.
-
Awesome!
-
Thank you for the nice comments!! I will try to have the castings here in the beginning of May. :)

Amazing work 8)

A glorious start to what promises to be a very interesting range of miniatures.
BTW, Stephan, I notice that you're located in Augsburg. The first miniature I ever owned was a plastic model kit of an early Renaissance knight called "The Knight of Augsburg." My first wargames were kindergarten battles that I fought armed with a floppy cardboard sword and a shield decorated with the coat-of-arms of the Knight of Augsburg himself, done in black and yellow crayon. I had no idea where Augsburg was, or that it was even a place - I just assumed that Augsburg was the guy's name.
Over the years I lost my crappy cardboard battle gear (and any inclination toward Medieval reenacting), and eventually the Knight of Augsburg himself, but a fondness for miniatures, harmless battles, and the word "Augsburg" has stayed with me to this day. Any chance the good knight might turn up in the Pro Gloria range someday?

Superb stuff Stephan! 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
I think that my fave has to be the shoe seller..... and if you keep bringing out miniatures of this standard I may be needing him soon ;) :D.
Can't wait for the pre-release date.
Darrell.

Mr Hicks does it again.
Loads of character in those figures :)
-
Thanks again :)
@Kelvin: Actually, I don't know a saga or fairytale about a knight of AUgsburg. I think you could use any Knight miniature as a knight of Augsburg. And black and yellow are the colours of saxony (another state in Germany). AUgsburg is red-white-green. But the Fugger family - which is well-known around the world - that lived in Augsburg has blue-yellow strips. Scroll a bit down here: http://progloriaminiatures.blogspot.com/2011/03/28mm-landsknecht-flags-released.html
Of course, if you give me any reference, I can take a look what future brings.

some really nice miniatures there!
i think that with some brueburg ones those will become something EPIC!
go on whit those minis, it's a great line!
btw: the blog-shop is not really intuitive to see the whole product line: maybe it is just the beginning, but a shop part would be great (not only the catalogue link!)
cheers,
Jack

Very nice, these are a certainty on my 'to get' list.
If for nothing else, that filthy strumpet- revealing so much!

You can place your orders with Stephan now via the Pro Gloria blog. Mine is in! Can't wait to get my paintbrush on them :)
