Showcase Easter special: Renaissance - The Great Italian Wars

For easter a little extra fluff - my complete Italian wars collection,  as I'm rebasing my swordsmen and the doppel-soeldner, I will probably continue with the other skirmishers (arquebusiers and Swiss halberdiers )... in between paint job so keep me entertained ...

Enjoy!



The whole lot

Some French Gendarmes d‘Ordonnance, Men-at-arms, Archers and Stradioti

The Imperial Horse, Argulets and mounted Crossbows, Men-at-arms and Gendarmes
The German Gendarmes


The Imperial camp

The Borgias swordsmen and the Nürnberg pikeblock 
Nürnberg a bit closer


The Gascoigne Crossbows and the sinister Black Band in French service

A Hackbut the Pikeblock with a Swabian League commander and Cesare Borgias


A French gun and its point of view


The large Fugger Pikeblock and some Doppelsöldner

The Fugger a bit closer


The rest of the French Gendarmes and their Men-at-arms

The Rest of the German Gendarmes and Men-at-arms

  2. Lovely, Michael! Finally, I can see all your flags, which won't be doubled in my army. Great stuff.

    1. Thank you Bart! But flag-wise. I will buy even more, as I will do them modular, i.e. that (most) of them I can exchange. The French and Swiss for example.

  3. Great collection Michael, all sorts of scenarios can be played out with those figures. I'm sure you will continue to paint up stuff for this period, I don't think any of us can ever stop collecting!
