The Men of La Compagnia Straniea, the Foreign Company!
« on: June 21, 2024, 11:58:38 AM »
For my games(set in the Old World game's start date), I wanted to add a touch of my own to an army I purchased.

Taking a page out of history, I decided to make a Mercenary Company based on historical Landsknekts, using the colourful and varied uniforms to mark them out from the Red/Yellow Talabeclanders of my main force.



This is the first rank of them done! There will be 28 Halberdiers in this unit, with two wings of Handgunners.








These are Bruegelburg figures, which are suitably "ostentatious" which fits these mercs to a T.



This is the total force so far!(excuse the bed, I have to rest a lot due to illness, and do a lot of hobbying there).

Here is a scale comparison!



Let me know what you guys think!

I have ordered more, so that this force will be a full third of my entire army by the end of it.

These are by Lead Adventure originally, now carried by another company called Miniaturicum. They were however OOP for a bit, so I'm glad I found them again.
