Title: Advice needed on manufacturers of 28mm Landsknecht models
Post by: vintagephreak on April 24, 2012, 08:55:41 PM: Hi all,

Simple question from a newcomer to historical wargaming: which manufacturers do the best landsknecht models?

I am planning to assemble a couple of mercenary regiments, and would like them to consist of varied and flamboyant models, all puffed-up and feathery and armed with pikes, swords, whatever.

Cheers,
Martin

I liked their old range better, but if you need some filler they are better than Old Glorys

Are we talking Crusader Miniatures-style bulky or just weird proportions?
