Glad you like the orcish idea... :)

I am initially going for 4 city-states, but am planning a big multiplayer with 6 factions. Though the last 2 factions would perhaps not be states... o_o

Cant wait to see your ideas come to life.

The Sienea faction is stunning, especially l'Orco! You did a great job on the black, too. Is there a handy book or website for Italian town liveries of this era?

@all: thanx for your comments, gents... :)

@Tank
As stated before its scratchbuild from balsawood over a core of styrofoam. Just a quick build... ;)

@BaronVonJ
Your round daVinci-tank looks great... :-*

Not that I found one. I rely mostly on wikipedia, google and the back of the perry-box... :D

Okay, todays update is not a city state, but a faction wich no renaissance in italy-thing can go without: the swiss.
I am going for each of the trooptypes being from a different canton. And in the end I can add them to every city state I like as mercenaries or build a faction of their own.

The pikes are from Uri, the billmen from Lucerne and the "Alpen-Peter" from the matterhorn... :D



The Alpen-Peter is an old mithril Lord of the Rings miniature wich lay in my leadmountain for almost 14 years. Again glad to have found a use for him at last.
The standardbearer of the billmen is from mirliton, by the way...

I know I should have finished Siena first, but I am in love with all the different colour schemes of the cantons and their flaggs... :-*

Cheers,
DV

Lovely :-*  The Swiss match the standard of the other factions,,,Fantastic.
Love Alpen Peter too. Maybe the Uri men should have a minotaur to match their Flag?
