So for most periods at least some companies makes historical personalities. While I'm a big novice in this period. I can't remember seeing any? Does anybody make say a Francis I in 28mm or other big names? |

Pro Gloria used to do George von Frundsberg, Gotz von Berlichingen and Maximillian so in theory warlord games have aquired these as well? |

The TAG personalities listed above are really post-Italian Wars. The clothing styles are incorrect. They appear to be meant for the period of the Hapsburg Valous Wars and Henry VIII's misadventures on the continent ca. 1544. |

Well, Henry did had two misadventures during the Italian wars in 1513 and 1522, but apart from that TAGs minis are indeed for the 1544+ period. Despite a cast that is hard to match, the representation in 28mm is sadly lacking. Be it Borgia or Medic, Sforza, Valois, Tudor or Habsburg, Artists, Philosophers, Monks or Popes, Knights or Conquistadors, Quacks or Pashas…. Not many are covered. Though we do have some Cortez and Montezumas… |

Indeed, the Henry figure appears to be 1540s. Redoubt also does vignettes for Charles V and Francois I, but also depicting them in the mid 16th century, not early 1500s. |
