Working on cleaning up some of my older units and rebasing them for Kings of War.
The fellow in the center is suppsosed to be George Von Frundsburg
I really do like the look of the unit, and it's kind of fun to be able to pick it all up on one base. In retrospect, I would have broken up the front line a bit more. They look almost as regimented as if they were on 20 x 20 bases. Maybe they are just that well trained?!

The look great! BigRedBat's basing idea is going to take over the wargames world one tabletop at a time! |

Wargamer Dave- Yes, Simon is brilliant! My "deckling" is designed to be more subtle than his.
Cheers!

They are fantastic. Slightly disappointed that they were not wood however!  |

Dale-
Thanks! Even a wooden soldier lover has to go back to his metal (and in this case plastic) soldiers once in a while :) Cheers!

Best usage of the GW plastics I have seen yet. Great work! |

Puster- thanks. I think that these models were one of the best plastics lines GW did. Their Skeletons were the tops! Cheers

love the look and the mixing of figures. I also have a large GW former empire army that I am converting to historic. How did you do the pikes? did you drill out the spears? |

This Kickstarter may be right up your alley…

General K- Yes, I drilled out the hands and made the pikes out of brass.On a couple of poses I needed to move the lower hand a bit, so some putty was involved but nothing fancy. Codsticker -nice models, I'm totally backing that KS. They are smaller than GW models but will go well with my Wargames/Artisan and Foundry Landsknects, and be great opponents against my Triumph of Death line (Kickstarter launching late Feb). Here's a scale shot.
more scale shots up on my blog Cheers

I am very curious on some of the poses you did. I have a moderately large stockpile of GW empire figs that I want to convert (backburner project since the mid 2000's WH AoC came out ) to opposing swiss and landsknecht troops. it looks like you took at least one of the empire halberdier poses and made a pikeman, and mixed in some regular halberdiers in with converted spearman. I am very excited to see these pictures, they give me some inspiration. Thank you for sharing. |

G.K. – That sounds about right on the figure conversions- lots of them were the spear guys. More pics and angles on my blog, if you'd like. link
