Some more heads :x




Michael is currently working on the dollies for the sword arms and the up-right pikes.

Looking great! I'm tempted to say that the helmet looks very old fashioned and almost outdated - like something that was used during the hundred years war - but I'm sure you have a historical reference picture up your sleave, ready to point out that I'm wrong, so I'm not going to say it.  :biggriin:

That is very much a historical helmet for the period.
Here's one example from the Wallace collection.

Yep, that's the one that Michael had in mind while sculpting the helmet  :happy:

Lovely stuff. The sculptor explained on the facebook page that the 'big head' is due to the angle of the photo, and posted these pictures:

@Pro Gloria Miniatures, question: Will the new landsknechts also have the option of having greatswords as weapons, because that would attract even more customers. something like these guys:

Titan forge has released these 10-5 pack space murines, and tehy look excellent and the price is even better.

Those look like actual marines.

Spess Mehrens are supposed to look like robots.

Does anyone have any familiarity with Otherworld Miniatures, shipping and scale-wise? I really like some of their Cleric figures for Warrior and some of the Hired swords for Mordheim.

I bought the female cleric from (I think it was) Wayland Games.

A bit smaller than GW figures. I don't have any GW Empire figures, but I based it on a 20mm square base, so you can shrink the pic and see how big it is.

Hey, arjunstc Great mini! That's the exact model I was looking at buying; the scale shouldn't be an issue as the vast majority of my collection is Perry Miniatures too; with some Kingmaker Hussites and Fireforge models thrown in.

Thanks for your kind words :) And yes, two-weeks no update because of the holidays from the sculptor :(

@Heads: They will have the exact same as our metal landsknechts. To judge 3 UPs is really difficult. You should always wait to see the finsihed miniature in true scale  :blush: But as said, I promise you that sizewise you won't see any difference between our plastics and metal miniatures. Once the tenth Landsknecht is finished (mid-week) I can show a group picture with all ten rank and file. michael will then sculpt ten upright arms plus around 14 new heads. Then he#s up for the command (you will love this for sure!)

@Greatswords: We will have a second box just after the kickstarter (Michael Anderson will immediately start working on the second box after the first box) which will contain many fighting posed with greatswords, hammers, more halberds, swords etc.

Here is Landsknecht Number 9. The visor is attachable and you do not have to use it. More common headwear soon.

Very Nice, fits in well with the unit. I've just finished painting 24 of the Hussite Halberdiers as a detachment for my Greatswords. Will definitely look into sorting an order out from otherworld at some point.

Also the landsknechts  are looking brilliant; I'll have to work more pikes into my army somewhere!

Thank you for reminding me of that company! I forgot I wanted to pick up a few of their minis. Now if I can remember who was selling them in the US...

Edit: It was Fantization, but it appears they are no longer selling them.  :-(
