I'have been lately pondering upon the idea to include some pikemen and greatswords
from other companies - not GW as substitutes in my empire army. There are some companies that make nice figs, but it's hard to get decent pictures of them painted, and so it's difficult to make a narrow choice.
So I'm asking here, if you have them painted (and I know some of you do), post some nice and decent pictures of them here and we can have a nice gallery of landsknechts and other mercenaries.
If possible please include pics of them standing side by side with GW state troops or even better metal Dogs of war, so we can cast a final judgment on how they blend into a standard Empire army.
Troop types: pikemen, halberdiers, gunmen, greatswords( especially the Gamezone ones), swordsmen.
We are preferably looking for the whole units of them, but also individual figs or sets, that blend nicely in an Empire or mercenary army theme are welcome (Brother Vinni and Pro gloria).
They don't need to be exclusively landsknechts, any mercenary type a la Dogs of war is welcome( Estalians).
Some of the most reknown companies: Artizan, Pro gloria, Gamezone, Brother Vinni, Lead adventure miniatures, to name those of the highest quality.
If you think this thread should be extended to a wider scope, let me know then.
