Landsknechts are always a struggle. But they look good. They will be great when you have 30 or 40 in a single block. |

They'll be better when…..
And, I agree, Landsknechts are a pain in the bum. |

Before my pikeblock I painted 50 levies for the Sassanids. Various colours brown and grey. So I made five groups of ten and painted five different colours of trousers. Then I took two of each group and formed again five groups of ten, that was painted five different colours of tunic. Later I wanted a pikeblock (100 figures) and did something like the previous method. The point is that you can paint – for instance – ten or even fifteen green trousers and after the swith go on with other colours. The end-result: no two figures clearly (;-)) the same. Perhaps this sound rather "mechanical" but for me this works.
BTW: other nice Landsknechts are from Empress (Pro Gloria Miniatures, who now also have a Kickstarter) and Mirliton. |

I follow exactly the same method than Porthos for painting Landsknechts and other medieval and ancient collections, since many years agos, and I agree, it works very well. And I think that is more practical and less boring, and waste less paint in the process. |
