About time someone produced early lansknechts. Oh well, there goes another resolution…………… |

Surprised that so few are in armour. OTOH, I'm a newbie to this period and could stand to learn quite a lot of its history. |

These are definitely going to find their way into my early Italian Wars collection – they are perfect for the 1499-1504 War for Naples |

Yep, the swords are a bit massive, and the headgear lacks barrets for an overabundance of rarely depicted caps (some I have yet to see oncontemporary images, and I think I have seen a lot of these). However, nice sculpts. On the other note: judging from the other TAGs and the early GW Landsknechts, I doubt that they would fit next to each other. Even the early GWs are too bulky, but I will try to dig them out and take another look. |

Fantastic resource. Thanks for the link to the thesis! Alas, it does not mention Landsknechts at all, and barely strifes military usage (at least from glancing at it for 30 min). I doubt that this is a good resource to base the headgear of "early Landsknechts" upon. You would not depict a soldier of th 19th century with a bowler or cylinder. There are hundreds of depictions of Landsknechts, with dozens in the era from 1490 to 1510, and I have not seen some of the depicted caps on any of them. Well, if the minis or unit look "wrong" I will just have to cut off the cap and replace them with greenstuff :-) |
