Landsknecht - Project Complete

 Finally pulled it out and got around to completing my Landsknecht. 

They've been on the "97% and not hugely bothered, but one last push will do it" pile for an age now (although strictly speaking, I suppose I've another 12-15 to do here and there), but done enough to play some games.

Now, one of the problems I was confronted with was - how to vary paint the multi colours of Landsknecht (non) uniform, whilst working to a production line and not going insane by trying to do them one by one? 

The answer: paint 10 at a time, production style, but with the colours mixed across the models in different places, then instead of completing a unit, wait until *everything* is done and mix all the models up into a reasonably random order of colours and style. Simple really, but made for a depressing lack of  actively feeling like anything had been finished, as no units were being made battle ready, just a big pile of painted models. Got there in the end though!

Some of these have been making appearances in the WOTR games as mercs. Mainly Warlord, but theres a couple of Perry boxes in there too and a GW helblaster. Well, you have to, don't you? FUCKING HELBLASTER!!

Full army

Pikes.

More pikes.

Even more pikes. I like pike.

Handgunners, Crossbows and FUCKING HELBLASTER

Crossbows, Handguns.

Zweihanders.

Theres cannon lurking somewhere in these pictures too. God knows where.

Finally, Georg von Frundsberg to lead them. 

Really like this model - loads of character. His banner was a nice simple one to paint too, so probably the most enjoyable model in the force.

So................whats in that last couple of % to finish? Well, its a few more command models and some more handguns. Oh, and casualties, lots of casualties.

I'd love to buy some of the packs of camp followers, vignettes and such that Warlord have up for sale, but at those prices?? Enough to give ol' Georg a stroke!
