These figures are kit-bashed from a box of Perry Light Cavarly 1450-1500 and parts from Wargames Atlantic Conquistadors and Warlord Games Landsknechts. The crossbow firing arms from Wargames Atlantic, and the heads a mixture from the three sets. The leader with the sword is a Wargames Atlantic figure that was given a bit of surgery at his groin area to have his legs sit closer together to fit the Perry horse better.
The flag is from Pete's Flags. The color of clothing was kept to a minimum, with a higher percentage of black to give the unit a more somber look. The horses are all in a uniform dark brown with red, blue, or green saddles and straps.
I also used some swords/scabbards from the Warlord Atlantic set - the ones with the curved guards for more of an Italian look.
This unit should be the last one for a playtest in a couple of weeks. Although I do want to add a few more command figures - particularly mounted guys in wearing big, flamboyant hats.
I should mention that I picked up a bunch of Foundry Trojan War figures yesterday at the Fort Steilacoom Fix Bayonets game day. These were figures from David Sullivan's (I Live With Cats blog) collection which Kevin Smyth (A Gamer's Tale blog) brought over for anyone who was interested in them. Of course, this period was my first venture into wargaming with Redoubt figures, so I jumped at the chance as no one else in the room seemed interested when it was announced by Kevin - or maybe I was just too quick. In any case, I intend to paint them up and use them with Tribal rules - as David had with his other Bronze and Stone Age figures, in his honor. Until next time, wishing you all the very best!
Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteWow. These Renaissance troops are outstanding Dean, even the flowers on the bases "pop"!
ReplyDeleteTrojan Wars, eh....sounds like an interesting period that could easily expand into Greek legends a la the Illiad!
