From another Spanish miniature company:

El Cheapo Reiksguard knights (?) (+ other Empire/Estalian miniatures)

I'm not a fan of the riders, but the horses look somewhat interesting. The miniatures have a baroque theme going on, which is a nice change I suppose.

Those are mounted on 25x50mm bases? They barely fit, so the figures must be absolutely huge even for 28mm 'heroic'. Maybe mounting them on 50x75mm bases would result in good substitute for the GW chickens.

I don't think I've ever posted my own stuff to this thread.

Since I've got bills to pay, now seems like a good time...

I am currently building around 40 on my desk right now - they really are fabulous, and the knights go so well with the Marauder Reiksguard on foot.

Hmmm looks like another set using the Rus/Scandinavian cores with new heads and arms most likely.

Wooohooo! I have no need whatsoever for these! I will take three boxes!

so wait, could someone spell it out for the rest of us: are these the sculpts from the failed pro gloria kickstarter?

Yes!

Not all the sculpts, though. It seems they've chosen ten bodies to fit a single frame, while Pro Gloria had more bodies sculpted. It also seems they've done some armament/gadgets in addition to those shown in the Pro Gloria Kickstarter.

Are there any new pictures yet?

I just hope they will be somewhat compatible with Empire plastic kits and won't be quite as small as their metal miniatures.

Konrad von Richtmark · « **Reply #3165 on:** June 19, 2017, 11:12:02 AM »

Warlord plastic Landsknechts. I'll be damned. I bought a bunch of metal landsknechts from Warlord, Artizan and Foundry a bit ago, but have gotten nowhere near painting them. Will be interesting to see what they're like.

I wait for ythese guys since so many time... can't wait to buy them! 3 box too.

Do you have a link of the warlord games newsletter ? I dind't find it. Thanks!

Midaski · « **Reply #3167 on:** June 19, 2017, 09:12:38 PM »

I've forwarded the email using the address you have listed here.

@msn.com

It is strange - I cannot find it anywhere on their site either.

Zygmund · « **Reply #3168 on:** June 20, 2017, 06:05:22 AM »

Looks like the info was only included in the letter they sent to their registered customers (who have ordered the newsletter). Then one site had a little bit more info because they knew people. Still, no pictures of sprues or exact list of contents.

I guess Warlord wants to sell as much of their metal stock as possible before releasing the plastics. Or, rather, they want the fans to build up the hype for them - a proven concept of zero budget advertising.

Victor · « **Reply #3169 on:** June 20, 2017, 10:51:40 AM »

I have waited more than 3 years for these - I'm done buidling any hype. I want some solid infos.

GamesPoet · « **Reply #3170 on:** June 20, 2017, 12:39:56 PM »

No waiting here, and recently bought a slew of other landsknects, not sure if I'll buy any of these or not.

Midaski · « **Reply #3171 on:** June 20, 2017, 01:02:44 PM »

You can never have too many Landsknechts

Basically you can paint them in multi-colours, so no real restrictions on which army they can fight for.

Amongst others, I have metals from Artizan, Foundry, the Warlord Games (Pro Gloria) and like GP some due shortly from a recent Adam Holmes KS.
The ones I have already all match sizewise pretty well, and so I expect the new plastics to fit too.
It will be interesting to see if they are solely Italian or whether there will be bits to make Swiss for example.

I have some Pendraken which are a bit chunky, and not my favourites, but I have 'lost' them in rear ranks.

Alex-bbr · « **Reply #3172 on:** June 20, 2017, 02:32:49 PM »

I asked on the warlord game forum few month ago to know where were these landsknechts. I had an answer one month ago :

Quote

I spoke to John Stallard on this a couple of months ago. At that time he told me that they'd just gone in for moulding. The plan was to have a sprue with 10 bodies on it. These could all be made up as pike or (I *think*) up to 2 could be made as arquebus/handgunners. At the time I had that conversation I was told that they expected to be able to release them in about 5-6 months.

I hope they have shortened the release date.

Italian?

Warlord Games have the Pro Gloria metals in their Pike & Shotte - Italian Wars section.
I am speculating that it is where they are likely to add these new plastics.

If they have cut the original designs to 10 bodies that may make them less 'flexible' than the first plans.
