Great Italian Wars in 10mm

[Leman]

With the new additions to the Flodden range, the current Landsknecht range, the Stradiots from the Elizabethan range and  various codes from the late Medieval range, the Great Italian Wars are now almost within reach purely from Pendraken. I can only see three possible omissions, particularly from the early part of the wars: Spanish Genitors, Italian militia spearmen with pavise (possibly some of the Scots front rank pike, but I doubt militia would have much in the way of plate armour), and sword and buckler men (the Spaniard in the Elizabethan range is too late). Consequently I would like to put in a request for those three to complete what is now a superb selection of figures for this period.

I second this request, should be easy to squeeze in

They sound very useful additions

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Why not, also useful for beating up contemp ammies.

This would be brilliant. Please add my vote to this request.

Glaring omission - mounted arquebusiers! Can chop the arms off theountes xbows but proper ones would be nice

And some "new sculpt" style foot arquebusiers would be ace as well!

[Leman]

There's the mounted handgunner in late Medieval, but unarmored mtd arq would be nice, New foot arquebusiers in the Flodden range, plus original Flodden arquebusiers plus the Landsknecht arquebusiers.

Id discounted the new French Arquebusiers as too similar to the existing late medieval pack - the helmeted guy looked identical whilst the bloke in hat was very similar between the two. Are they much different in the flesh? If so I might add a pack

The ELM mounted handgunner I thought was a bit too out of period? Or am I confusing him with another pack (super heavy cavalry with pistol?). Without piccies for them I'm always a bit hesitant... I think I thought he was too heavily armoured, hence chopping the relatively lightly armoured mounted xbows instead

I'm not very keen on those landsknecte handgunners, they were a bit static and not up to the standard of current sculpts. Think the League of Augsberg stuff has spoiled me

Hi

If you do not like the Pendraken Landsknect arquebusiers then try

Hey re exceptionally nice - I keep nearly going for their Kickstaters but the price is too much :/

Maybe...

[fred.]

I don't think they are that expensive.  Factor in the exchange rate and the number of figures per pack.

Or compare to Warmaster prices!

[Leman]

Trouble is they are in pluderhosen which is more suitable for the Wars of Religion coming after the Italian Wars.

Add in postage, duty and the Post Office's ridiculous handling charge and I'm happy to stick with Pendraken!

[toxicpixie]

A third more expensive even being generous, then as others have noted there's then postage and duty... Makes it potentially very painful :/

Count with me for the Leman's proposal

[Krimson]

I would love some Italian wars figures. In 10 mm you could have real pike blocks. In my 28mm figures I have 96 but they take up so much space on the table. So 10mm would be my preferred  scale. Pereira lay with open hands and sell wire separately to be cut down and glued in

[Leman]

Well of course the new Flooded figures have made the Italian Wars a real goer now. I have acquired a number of figures from this range, the late medieval range, Warmaster Empire figures and a few MM, particularly Swiss and Italian pike. Even the Elizabethan sword and buckler and  pike are acceptable as Spaniards, especially as some of them still sport tight hose and burgonet helmets. As far as I can tell, the only specific figure missing now is a Spanish genitor (jinete?). I am unable to see from the photos whether the Floodden border horse have shields - even if they do they will not be of the traditional Spanish shape. there is also the possibility of giving the demi-lancer figure a small Spanish shield of paper or green stuff, but as I say, this now seems to be the only figure missing. [re. the bagpiper in the Flodden Scottish command pack - the Swiss also used bagpipers.]

This topic arises every 18 months or so, I think. Understandably; the renaissance makes for super gaming.

[Leman]

The stupid autocorrect insists on writing Flodden as Flooded!!!  

However, great progress has been made in the last few months so that only one figure is now needed to round it out.
