Unlike the pikemen in the Black Bande pike block, the Impetvs 'T' stand of arquebusier are from Wargames Foundry. As always, the Foundry figures are well sculpted and look quite serviceable when painted.
What is up next for the project? Well, hopefully, a game! While Jake's collection has seen action on the gaming table, mine is yet to witness its initial taste of battle. Getting both collections into battle would be an impressive sight and likely consume a good portion of my 12' x 6' foot table.
On the painting front, a 'T' unit of Italian crossbowmen are presently in the painting queue but they are a long way down in priority. A trio of Perry Stradiots looks like an interesting candidate to work into the queue as well.
A colorful and beautiful unit, well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteExcellent arquebusiers Jonathan!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteNice figures .....you can see the common heritage with the GW plastic versions.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Having never seen the GW figures, I would not spot thank common lineage but appreciate knowing that.
DeleteAwesome work Jonathan!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michal!
DeleteLovely looking shot, and how exciting to see them all on the table!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks, Iain! Seeing them all on the table again would be good.
DeleteExcellent unit, I like them a lot!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like them!
DeleteGood looking miniatures and complimented by being nicely based.
ReplyDeleteVery much appreciated, Peter!
DeleteSeeing your progress in this most daunting (but rewarding)era is not only nice eye candy, but it is good motivation to get painting again myself. Wonderful effect on the faces, by the way--the personality really comes through!
ReplyDeleteHappy to provide a bit of painting mojo for you, Ed!
DeleteGlad you like the brushwork on the faces. Much appreciated.
Nice looking unit Jonathan. What size base is that?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mark! The base is 120mm x 60mm; a standard Impetvs infantry base.
DeleteThese look great, but I have to tell you I read Black Adder the first time.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jon! Misreading titles Happens to me too.
DeleteLovely looking figures Jonathan! Currently my table is 5ft x 8ft, but like yours I'm looking to go 6ft x 10-12ft for larger games.

Very much appreciated, Christopher!
DeleteReally great Arquebusiers, the red and black colour scheme works well
ReplyDeleteThanks, Oli!
DeleteVery nicely done, Jon!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Peter!
DeleteAnother fine unit. I like the black band as it is a sharp looking unit that is also significantly easier to paint than a standard mercenary pike block.
ReplyDeleteThanks! You are correct that the way I painted the Black Bande makes for an easier task of fielding Landsknecht. Now, that I have the BB, back to more complex painting schemes.
