Great Italian wars 15 landsknecht shot

So here we are back in the 16th century, landsknecht shot by Old glory ,really nice figures,full of character  and easy to paint.
A few Perry plastics with metal heads and a couple of Warrior figures, one of which has had a Perry metal head swap, they're more 25mm and I got them to primarily pack out my Ral Partha figures that I started this army with almost 40 years ago!






That's 36 shot done, next up is more French Napoleonic line infantry and a big push on flags for various periods. 
All the best Iain

    Excellent! The Old Glory Renaissance range is a good one. To me, they look fine alongside Foundry and TAG.

      Yes, it's a great range and really economical even on this side of the pond!

    A lot of great looking landsknechts. Adding to Jonathan's recommendations, I think the older GW Empire guys would fit on too.

    40 years is nothing! (ha ha)
    But seriously, the minis look great! A nice batch of shot to grace any Great Italian War.

    These look really great Iain, I think out of the Old Glory Italian Wars figures the Landsknecht Shot are some of their best - they have some real character and a certain rakish quality to them that works really well.

    Landsknechts look great!

    I have one of those Old Glory landsknechts. Many, many years ago, when there was an Old Glory Canada, I placed an order with them and they sent an assortment of single example figures from across their lines - one of which was a landsknecht loading an arquebus - or whatever it is that they have. I primed him, based him on a square base, rebased him on to a round washer, but never actually got to painting him... he still haunts my lead pile somewhere.

      Thanks Tim, you should have a go at landsknechts, they're strangely addictive and look great when there's lots of them!
