(AP 2017) Landsknecht army

[Dr. Zombie]

I will try and get some momentum going on a Landsknecht army. This is my current august status.
Some hand gunners. There is a Landsknecht company from saxony called the black band. And I figure they would wear black.


Pikemen on the way.


They are all warlord plastics with a few perry heads thrown in.

[wolfkarl]

Yes indeed, they wore black and red, just as you painted them.

[Captain Blood]

Great stuff Frede 

[Dr. The Viking]

Uak!

There's so many of them!

I am sure you will make a spectacle looking force in force!

[OSHIROmodels]

Great stuff Fred 

cheers

James

[Romark]

Nice work on those,liking the black themed clothing 

[Dr. Zombie]

Thanks all.

I have painted up one unit of pikemen earlier. The got lost in the warp by the Photobuckets F* you internet stunt. So I figure I might as well for completenes sake show them here.

[Dr. The Viking]

That plastic spears?

They're going to be delicate!

[Dr. Zombie]

I am not to worried.

I have not heard a lot of complaints about the Perry medieval mercenaries spears breaking. And these are similar to them.

Besides I try to not throw my minis around to much.

[syrinx0]

Very nice.  A nice hint of what is to come next. 

[Dr. Zombie]

I tried some old Empire plastic bits with the warlord Landsknechts. One of them has Perry halberd arms and they are certainly a much better fit. But for the ranks the GW bits are ok'ish. The heads work but the hands are on the large side. Weirdly the old GW metal bits have smaller hands and head.

[Belgian]

Nice conversions especially like the one with the metal gw bits although I have never seen those bits before. Are they still available as they look useful?

[Dr Mathias]

Looking good!

That metal sleeve wins the 'puffiness award' though

[Corso]

Nice conversions and good use of the old Empire halberdiers

[FierceKitty]

How long before gamers start representing them as negroid too, I wonder....
