Finished the last figures from the Army Starter set. The four officers and light gun and crew are metal. The drummer is a plastic figure. I may rebase them on rounds in the future.
I used references on the internet to set up the light gun and pose the crew. The guy in blue and red is holding up the stock (aiming?). The other guy has one foot on the support of the gun mount and lighting the fuse.
Landsknecht army arrayed below. Except for the three resin command figures in the Black Band, all of the figures are from the starter set, and two additional boxes of pikemen and a box of missile troops.
I used some of the 40mm square bases that came with the kits with steel paper tops added for smaller skirmish units. There are small magnets glued under the GW-style square bases.
Artillery and cavalry (gendarmes) will need to be added for a proper game - but that will be sometime in the future. Until next time, thanks for stopping in and hope you all are doing well.
Excellent work!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful army!
Thanks a lot, Michal! Glad to have finished them. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteWow! Very impressive Dean!

Thank you very much, Neil! Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteImpressive.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! Kind regards, Dean
DeleteNice Dean, that light gun makes me think of a 50 cal sniper weapon.

Thanks for the kind words again, Kevin. Lol! I first thought the gun itself reminded me of a Soviet antitank rifle. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteFantastic as always. These should be in a museum! Gary in Texas
ReplyDeleteThank you for your very kind words, Gary! Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteConsidering when you commenced work on this project Dean, the completion date and quality of the end product is outstanding!! Cavalry and guns scheduled for completion by next Wednesday?! 😆
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words and enouragement, Keith! Lol! I'm currently researching French Gendarme cavaly. I know Steel Fist has some of the best (if not the best) of these. However, I'm hoping to get some 3D printed ones - not only for costs, but I like plastics and resins (much lighter to store and transport). Warm regards, Dean
DeleteWhat a grand sight, the whole group. What great work on the command figures. Your work guarantees victory on the table, Vorwarts!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much again, Joe! Appreciate the visit and nice words as always. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteVery, very impressive!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Bartek! Best regards, Dean
DeleteAwesome Dean. I can't wait to see how your cavalry turns out.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words, Richard. Yes, hopefully get some Gendarmes soon. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteSplendid landsknecht force! Looking forward to the Gendarmes!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks, Iain! I just ordered some 3D printed knights - which are close to Gendarmes, but don't have the pleated skirts. We'll see how they look in-person. Kind regards, Dean
DeleteHello, what a beautiful and impressive work. The mass effect is beautiful and the painting is excellent. Bravo to you!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Syl! I appreciate your visit and kind comments. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteWow Dean impressive, a wonderful and colourful army….all those pikes 👍
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for the nice words, Matt! These 30-man pike units look a bit more "impressive" than the ECW units with only 16 pike figures that I used to have. Warm regards, Dean
