Finished basing them today using GW style 20mm squares so that they can match my other Empire figures.
The new Warhammer Old World system has these type of troops on 25mm squares now, but I don't plan on using those rules, and I like the look of them on 20mm squares better.
The box is a pretty good set as you get 30 pikemen along with an officer in full plate armor as well as a drum and arms for a drummer. Haven't painted the officer yet, but it is a nice figure in the so-called Maximillian style armor
It's nice to have them based as singles so the can be formed up in different configurations.
Pictured below, they're protected on their front and flanks by GW Greatswords that I painted some years ago. The GW figures are a bit larger, but since they'll be in separate formations it'll be okay.
And finally a comparison shot with the Warlord figures flanking the earlier painted Perry pikemen. The figures and pikes are very similar in size.
I may get another box (or more) of these figures in the future. Until next time, thanks again for stopping by and hope you're all doing well.
Holy crap! You knocked those out fast!
ReplyDeleteGoing to save one of your pictures as a template when I go to do mine.

Thanks for the kind compliment, Kevin! For the record, I got the color combinations from Warhammer Empire units LOL! Warm regards, Dean
DeleteThese are great dean and as you say match up very well alongside the Perry figures! I am no longer surprised when you churn out twenty or thirty beautifully finished figures in a couple of days, nonetheless, I agree with Kevin above!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for your kind words as always, Keith! Warmest regards, Dean

ReplyDeleteAh, thank you for the high compliment, Michal! Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteExcellent work Dean! You've nailed the colour combinations on those Landsknechts one of the hardest figures to paint.
