I'm gearing up to commission another Landsknecht unit to go with these guys: link I'd like to keep on with the various infantry types. To that end, what would people be interested in seeing? Armbrustschützen (Crossbowmen)
Arquebusiers (Hand Gunners)
Hellebardiere (Halberdiers) And a follow-up, how many of each would you be interested in? |

All 3 and I would take at least 2 of each |

Hallberdiers, halberdiers, hallenberdieren…..don't care how you spell it. Get some going!! Also, when are we gonna see some ritter or gendarmerie? |

Hey Epic- I'm lucky to have a couple each of your current units, and can't speak highly enough of them. Like the above folks, all would be welcome. If I were to pick an order, I'd say hand gunners, Halberd,then Crossbow. And like the others, the list could really grow. Cheers

Thanks guys. Cav will come agter the infantry parrot. The hope being that the sale of five units will help cover the increased cost to get cav sculpted. |

I'm leaning towards arquebusiers or crossbowmen at this point as it'll be a bit easier for me to break even with only 10 sculpts. Here's my thoughts: five strips of two men, you would get 15 strips per unit (or 5 per Warmaster base). Would people want the front figure kneeling? Standing? Mix? Don't care? If I did the front rank kneeling I would do the rear rank standing (so 5 and 5). Either way you'd be able to cut the strips apart as with the zweihander and pikemen. |

Alright, Bob's back Friday so I'll be getting this process rolling then with the arquebusiers. Figure: 10 sculpts (5 kneeling, 5 standing) in various poses (firing, loading, port, support)
no armor, each armed with Arquebus and a Katzbalger
arranged in column on 6x18x1mm strips with a standing pose in back and a kneeling pose in front (these should be easy to separate) I anticipate running a quick Kickstarter in May to cover the costs of molding and casting. I'm hoping to be shipping in July, but that depends on when Bob can get to them. |
