Italian Wars: Imperial Landsknecht Pike Block

Interrupted as they have been by the Barons' War and some 6mm Moderns (update coming soon) I have managed to finish the first pike block for the Italian Wars project. Whilst we will be using the On Bloody Ground supplement when it comes out, so I have no idea on what the army lists specify, I've used the Italia lists from Never Mind The Billhooks to get the ball rolling with the third rank comprising of zweihänder double-handed swordsmen. All figures from Warlord Games (apart from two Perry arms to make a second standard-bearer).

First Barons' War: Army of God and Holy Church

Last year I picked up Écorcheurs! as Andy had expressed an interest in playing some medieval games and watching the videos online it seemed a good gateway - whilst it only needed about 20 figures a side I decided that it would be a good idea to paint up forces for Lion Rampant so we could play some bigger games. So, on and off, over the last few months I've painted up a 24 point force for the Army of God and Holy Church (aka the French). All figures are from the Wargames Atlantic Barons' War plastics range.
