Italian Wars Slow Burn
« on: April 23, 2017, 08:06:55 PM »
I have always been interested in the Italian Wars but have been daunted by the numbers of figures required.  However I have decided to dip my toe in the water and paint a few figures here and there.  Here is my first attempt with some Spanish arquebus men.  They are Foundry Miniatures from their Conquistador range, which seem to fit the bill nicely.









Apologies for the poor photos. I will take some better ones later.

Great start Gary. Stripes as well  8)
Lovely figures by Copplestone. His last ones for Foundry as I recall.

Probably some of the best figures ever made.
Mine did a sterling job holding off the the ambushers at Salute allowing the escape of Lady Elspeth

They are indeed very nice sculpts, and I think you have done a fine job with them.  Good luck with the project!

I like the fellow in the white and red striped hose. When I was at college in the 80s, all the metalheads used to wear skin-tight trousers with patterns like that. Brings back happy memories. :)

Thanks for all the encouragement.  I will be adding to these over time in between other projects.

Mine too.

Excellent stuff, I may well be checking in to see further progress, and get some motivation for my own ideas  :)
