I really shouldn't listen to Phil, but somehow he convinced me that the Italian Wars should be the next big project! Initially I was going to cheat a little and crack on with my long planned Swiss army for the Burgundian Wars (which I have also started) as an early Italian Wars army, but somehow the lure of the Landsknecht and a bit bored during the England vs DR Congo match I ordered the Warlord Games Landsknecht Starter Army from Wayland Games which arrived Saturday...
The plastic figures are absolutely lovely and I had to get some off the sprue and onto the painting table PDQ... 48 hours later I now have twelve painted arquebusiers!
Actually I have twenty-four as I also finished off these twelve Foundry ones that were partially painted on the workbench...
Oh and a couple of officers which were Citadel fantasy figures a few decades back!
Surprisingly they were remarkably easy to paint, just a case of neat block painting, a wash of Marine Juice and then pick out some highlights with the original base colours. Suppose I better crack on with a pike block next (and the Swiss!)
