How far into the italian wars can they be used

Up to 1525 or so.

Which ones? The Plastic MAA are decent up to about 1500 and could possibly be stretched another year or two but you have to choose the right helmets/headwear, some of the included pieces are only good for short periods during the late 15th Century. But once you go beyond 1500 you see significant changes in both armour and accessories.

I was talking about the plastic ones

I am considering using them for the 1490s and maybe the early 1500s, but that is about it.

Conversions might help take them further into the 16th century. But I prefere the Foundry and Eureka versions for the 1520s on.

I have problems finding the eureka ganderms

I'm no rivet-counter, so I'm quite happy using them as "gendarmes" across a whole swathe of history, especially at that price point
