begins his series on how to paint a 15mm DBA army well, in a reasonable time frame.
Two new packs of Landsknechts are now available from Artizan Designs, expanding their range of Landsknechts to eleven different packs.
The latest two packs are the Doppelsoldner. These were Landsnechts who were paid double the normal rate to take up the hazardous position of the front rank of the pike block, to use their two-handed swords to break up attacking enemy formations, lopping pikeheads off and breaking into their ranks.
The Doppelsoldner could also form the rear rank, to keep the less experienced Landsknects going forward.
We have added a regimental deal of the two-handed swordsmen. There is no historical precedence for this, but we have had requests for this regiment, couldn't possibly comment on what they might be used for...
The figures are 28mm sized, metal, and cost £9.00 GBP for eight figures.
The Artizan Designs Landsknechts will be at Salute on the Dave Thomas stand, and U.S. customers will be able to buy them from Lon at Brigade Games. Canadian customers can get them from Terry at North Bay Games, and Australian customers will soon be able to get them from Ian at War and Peace Games.
