One Great looking project. What rules are you planning on using for them?

The pike block is well done.

Someone asked who the mounted figs were by:

They really pop.  Love the Condottiera, who makes those models?

Unless I'm mistaken they look like Steel Fist miniatures:

King Charles VIII of France and entourage, take holy communion before invading the Italy peninsula with a French Army of twenty-five thousand men (including 8,000 Swiss mercenaries). For several months, French forces moved through the Italian states virtually unopposed.
