Landsknecht Arkebuse for Impetus
« on: 22 May 2010, 03:30:56 PM »
Hi all  :)
I have just finished my next base for Impetus - Landsknecht skirmishers!
I hope you like them   :)






And as a little teaser, the first soldiers for the regiment:

They are very nice, superb even but I am unsure about the basing. The figures are great, the basing is great and they go together great but somehow it does not work as a gaming element for me. Having said that I saw these a little earlier on SD and the effect is growing on me. Perhaps with the other elements, the overall effect will prove you a genius.

Perhaps it is that they look so realistic, which contrasts with the painted on look of the figures.

I absolutely love them  :-*
Well done Stephan.

I think I shall have to get myself some of this miniature flora! With these kind of figures, it sets them off a treat.

I've used the Siflor flowers as well, and had some trouble with them.  Can you describe how you used yours?

They look great, the bases add to the Renaissance feel of the unit.

Hi all,
thank you all for the kind comments  :) Yes, of course the base takes getting used to, but I think it gives you a Renaissance look. Thank you ones again,

I will try to make some pictures - but putting them on is very easy!  :)

Very nice   :-*

The flowers make perfect camouflage for the Landsknecht!

These are just wonderful. I can see why not everyone might like the base style, but they hit the spot for me. Actually, the last pics of your artillery base sent me off to Antenociti to place an order for Siflor flowers, and I never usually decorate my bases at all!
