Great Italian Wars in 10mm

[SV52]

Yup, would agree with most of what has been said, my own hit list would be:

16th Century costume and armour
Mounted arquebusiers
Mounted crossbows
Petronnels
Reiters - late and early
Irish (Elizabethan period)- kerns with bows, darts and firearms; gallowglasses; bonnachts with pikes and firearms; redshanks; Irish horse.  Basically what was in the late Pendraken 28mm range.

With what's available already it would push things into mid and late century in the British Isles and expand the possibilities for Italy- 'Rough Wooing', Pinkie, Yellow Ford, etc.  IMHO

Whadda ya mean, Pendraken didn't have a 28mm range? :






Hoka Hey do 'em now.  They are on the 'heroic +' side of the scale.

Hi I am the madman who persuaded Phil and Leon to indulge my Flodden / Tudors Wars tendencices!  I think both Leman and SV52 have made great suggestions to allow for expansion into Italian Wars, later Tudor such as Rough Wooing and Ireland and also Wars of Religion. Please count me as a definite supporter of  these requests!

Great stuff. Today the Venetians didn't run away, and the might of the Habsburgs was chastised by the valour of French arms (well, the Swiss played a part, I admit).

Votes added!

[Leman]

If this pans out it will be a great range, and steal a march on most of the other 10mm firms.

[Nick the Lemming]

I'll add my votes for genitors, Italian city militia with spear, mounted arquebusiers, and add another for the earlier Italians - a carroccio.

[owaincaesarius]

Count me in as well. I like all the opportunities this will open up...Italian Wars, Conquistadors, Ireland, the Borders etc...

[Leman]

Getting a lot more takers than I thought. Surely this must be a goer! Now To the Strongest is working on a C16th variant.

[Sandinista]

I would replace my 6mm armies if they do

[lentulus]

I'd be in for that.

[Nick the Lemming]

I'd also like to see more poses for sword and buckler men (and other ranges where there's only the one pose).

[Leman]

Think I've already commented on S&B men and also mounted arquebusiers.

[Ben Waterhouse]

Major bump! Just bought the Furioso rules and the first Helion book. Watching Yarkshire Gamer doesn't help....

What would also be interesting - and as far as I know nobody does these in any scale let alone 10mm - are early C16th armed peasantry.

They would be ideal for the German Peasants Wars, the Cornish Rebellions and Pilgrimage of Grace etc. As well as providing additions to the Italian Wars conflicts. And you'd need literally 'fousands of em, sah!

Just a thought

You might need thousands of them you actually need them, but.... Will enough people actually want them?

They do sound quite handy, I must admit.

I agree - a very 'niche' range 

Artizan Miniatures do some really nice early C16th German Peasants revolt figure: https://www.artizandesigns.com/list.php?man=20&cat=165&page=1
Not a huge range (considering, as you say, you'd need 'fousands of em! to make an army) but they can be mixed in with both Wargames Foundry and Artizans Landsknechts, and the open-handed figures have a lot of uses in a skirmish type game (such as Frostgrave etc.).

We need a bump here...

Do I hold off for the stuff i need here or wait for Baccus to finish their 6mm Italian wars range?

There's nothing coming in our short-mid term plans I'm afraid, too many projects already on the go!

Leon I'm going to get shouted at but WORK FASTER
