Advice needed on manufacturers of 28mm Landsknecht models
« on: 24 April 2012, 08:55:41 PM »
Hi all,

Simple question from a newcomer to historical wargaming: which manufacturers do the best landsknecht models?

I am planning to assemble a couple of mercenary regiments, and would like them to consist of varied and flamboyant models, all puffed-up and feathery and armed with pikes, swords, whatever.

Cheers,
Martin

Artizan, Foundry, LAM and Brother Vinni. A very good budget option is also Old Glory

Essex

I liked their old range better, but if you need some filler they are better than Old Glorys
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

Check out WKs Blog...he has a fairly comprehensive list of these types of figures.

I haven't seen them myself, but there's also Redoubt Enterprises.

Not very good figures imho, rather bulky

Are we talking Crusader Miniatures-style bulky or just weird proportions?
