I’m not sure when I started painting Italian wars figures, probably around 13 years ago I think. Anyway I thought I ought to get all my Italian wars painted figures on the table. Its really been a slow-burn project with good recent progress. The initial attraction was kindled by seeing those early pictures in Wargames Illustrated in the 80s and I took the plunge when Artizan brought out their Landsknecht range about 13 years ago. I’ve been adding units slowly but recently finished off a large quantity of cavalry. I’m still not sure where I’m going with this, I think I’ll add another 3 units of Milanese foot from Perry Miniatures, paint up some more generic crossbowmen and add some more heavy cavalry for the imperialist side. Lots of questions remain – do I have enough cannon? I know I need to get more flags particularly for the Old Glory Landsknecht and I’ll work on changing flags for what is now the OG French Pike. Will Perry miniatures plastic knights look out of place here?
Next thing I need to do is get myself sorted rules wise, get some flags on the OG Landsknecht and find a way of using temporary or removable flags so the OG ‘French” pike can become generic. I have a few more light cavalry from Casting Room Miniatures to paint along with some Perry plastics which will include a lot of generic missile troops and then 3 more units of Milanese and I might be finally done.
