So, in the death throes of post-graduate work, and with a move down the Eastern Seaboard pending, I tried to carve out some time to put together some figures. These are all dry-fits, as I'm terrified of one breaking during the move.

German states handgunner, loosely based off a Redoubt Miniatures figure.

An Austrian for the Swabian League.

Crossbowman from Florence.

Burgundian skirmisher in the service of Charles the better-at-planning-than-execution.

Comments, criticism, questions, and one specific Perry Plastic Ansar body appreciated.

An Italian man-at-arms. Bow/Bill arms, Mercenary arms, Zouave command sprue head. Hat needs greenstuff to bring it in line with period gear.

Swiss capitan. Mercenary body, Bow/Bill arms, Zouave head. Didn't know that the ACW plastics used a flush-neck join as opposed to the ball-joint of WOTR, so the neck will need work.

Spanish Command type

Another Swiss directing traffic

Incidentally, if anyone else more information of Byzantine dress/armor during the siege, please let me know. The pictures I've seen suggest either a Roman style cuirass or scale armor.
