I was thinking of buying a couple of the Warlord plastic landsknecht boxes, but now I'm not so sure. The (metal) landsknecht pikemen I have bought so far are all with their pikes leveled for assault, or at most at a 45deg angle. I mean to use them as Empire halberdiers and spearmen, thus the issues a long, leveled pike would cause do not apply. Looking at the Warlord plastic sprue, it does not look like they could be sensibly assembled with leveled pikes. I might buy one box to use for kitbashing components though, those bodies look rather generically useful.
The only good thing about 7th ed heads is that they look particularly inbred and superstitious which is perfect for Stirlanders

Need to base yet, but first unit of Warlord Landsknecht.  :smile2:

Scale wise they are a smidge smaller than the GW models, but they look fine as a whole unit next to the others.

War of the Roses Halberdiers and Archers to paint next....

I can see why they'd get by as Empire soldiers.

They definitely look thinner and slightly shorter than GW models, but are a fantastically good value buy.

I'll post a pic of the handgunners when completed

The criticisms I've read about the minis seem very minor now, seeing them ranked up like that. That's a fine looking unit of Empire soldiers!

^^^ thank you!

I quite like the lack of skulls blazoned all over them, and I think you get a good range of poses to utilize. I've not got 2 pikemen with exactly the same arms / head / torso out of the 24.

I need more value for money minis to rebuild my Stirland/League of Rhordia army.
Oh, and remember GW made it personal, not you!

Those knights are more like Bretonnians than Imperials.  However, Perry has some great figures for early renaissance knights and light cavalry.

I buy stuff for its versatility these days.
28mm that fits more than one usage.

They are 'historical' as they are aimed at a certain medieval period, but as with Conquest's previous Norman Knights set you can get creative and some little work with greenstuff ribbons around the heads and you can quite easily have Andalusian knights for El Cid period.

Generally these may have a Bretonnian feel, but they are useful for lots of games - KOW or 9th Age, and then Lion Rampant, Dragon Rampant, and the aforementioned Warhammer Historical El Cid, as well as various other rules sets such as Swordpoint, Open Combat and others.

I agree.  Can't wait for those Conquest medieval knights!

I'm imagining them as cavalry for a Day of Battle Italian Commune army.  But they'll be available for so much! :icon_cool:

I like all of those.

Looked up Antediluvian and their fantasy range is definitely interesting. Once the minis above are released, I may have to place an order.

The new Archipelago expansion is out, and range of figures to match includes plastic Snakemen (or even lizardmen)  :icon_exclaim:
