Don's Wierd Condotta
« on: April 21, 2012, 04:48:47 PM »
Don't know if this is the right board for it: move it, if it fits better in any other place... :)

I have started a new project around some renaissance-condotta-idea. But after some research I had to realise that I wasn't too interested in the real thing. All this different cities with their bunch of condottierie and under-condottierie: too much stuff for me...

Then all of a sudden I had this mad idea of mixing in some wiered stuff and do a kind of comic-renaissance... :D

So here as a start is my florentine warband:



And to pimp things up a bit, they get a little da-vinci-like tank... ;)



Pulled or better pushed by a horse...



Cheers,
DV

What fun! And lovely painting to boot.

Do you have any thoughts about what rules you'll play this out using?

Cool idea.
Lots of places to go with this.
By the way, how much horse power does the tank have? :D

Very nice indeed  :-* :-* :-*

I love the whimsical tanket  8)

The back drop is very good also!

Is the St Christopher on the pavaise a magazine cut out?

Thanx for the nice comments and I am glad you like the idea... :)

@traveller
The miniatures are so far from the perrys. WotR and mercenaries boxes: I love the miniatures. I did use 2 lowered pikes from warlord to bring a little bit more action to the figures.

@Mr. Rab & Rules
I will use "This very Ground". Sounds funny at first, but I did use them befor for viking skirmish, so I think they will work for this setting quite well. The warbands have to be somewhere around 20 miniatures plus 1 or 2 special/wierd things.
I intend to play mostly multiplayer with these as a kind of presentation game. So its important to have some fast and easy rules... ;)

@backdrop and pavaise
I just search for a few moments in the net and printed them in colour.
Btw St. Christopher is the saint of the city of florence... :)

Cheers,
DV
