Looking for nice Italian wars guns and crew. Landsknecht looking crews; other crews. But what makers make the nicest looking cannon svulpts?

olicana; what rules do you use?

I second Olicanas Foundry gun recommendation

Those Foundry crews are very nice for Landsknecht-style look.

For some other styles, I would suggest also checking out The Assault Group ranges; notice that they sell guns and crews separately.

I use Pike and Shotte with period amendments or my own rules based on the mechanisms used in Piquet / Field of Battle by Piquet Inc.

The battle above used the latter, from memory.

olicana; you have some great looking miniatures. "TAG" I forgot about them.

Griefbringer13 May 2019 10:53 p.m. PST

Regarding TAG (The Assault Group) crews, I should have mentioned that they have open hands and come with a mixture of equipment for serving the gun. Leftover crew members can also be armed with halberds or pikes.

Old Glory also does a selection of guns:

You have left over crew members?

For overall beauty and heft of castings which makes are best? Foundry, TAG and Old Glory?

Maybe I should get some of each?
