Manny from Boards and Swords asked me to paint his Fire and Sword Renaissance collection.
Okay, I thought, nice quick, easy job. THUNK! Three full carrier bags and a 12" cubic box later...
Starting with the army he wants to use for a ReG (MeG's Renaissance spin off) event later in the year. He will add the basing himself later.
Catholic Imperialists
It's quite a list, so starting with two units of dragoons, I went with an irregular feeling for these.

Looks okay

Here we go!

A heavy artillery piece (again not based, but the winter look suits it, might suggest Manny bases up the army like this!!
(https://i.imgur.com/MwcQXmJ.jpg)
Cettainly comes with a lot of equipment!
(https://i.imgur.com/AhEg9FV.jpg)
Bang!

They are all in the wrong places for their jobs!

Boom!

Schutzen - made from dismounted dragoons

Why one black base? Becasue I undercoated those figures seperately!

These are loose/open flexible troops, so you get the option of skirmishers or loose

Not QUITE sure the guys at the top are aiming properly...

Add some shooty noises of your own...

14 more bases of Cuirassiers for Manny done.
(https://i.imgur.com/yY31yqY.jpg)
He will base and add standards later

No he obviously has Leon's syndrome - 2 hrs work I assume ?
First of Manny's armies finished (he will add flags/basing for himself), there are another three armies to do after this!
Imperialist Infantry
Red unit
(https://i.imgur.com/3ZcTHU1.jpg)
Decided to add spare foot command figures to bulk out the pikes
(https://i.imgur.com/sx9G6hC.jpg)
Three shot, four pikes per base feels okay, but it's not glorious 10mm
(https://i.imgur.com/mkMhsTc.jpg)
Almost, but not quite, uniformed
(https://i.imgur.com/XaWvRB3.jpg)
Green unit
(https://i.imgur.com/dDXPQgb.jpg)
But they are mostly grey?
(https://i.imgur.com/vL1Lz9J.jpg)
Enough green to see they belong together
(https://i.imgur.com/Y0zw8Dv.jpg)
It'll never work!
(https://i.imgur.com/EZSpb3O.jpg)
Especially when the next unit is mostly greys
(https://i.imgur.com/BDgREyg.jpg)
But even the greys have four different shades
(https://i.imgur.com/31AYT1K.jpg)
Looking good from the back
(https://i.imgur.com/3w04Xjr.jpg)
The blues, who are the most uniformed, based on the two black stands which Manny had already started

All four infantry units
(https://i.imgur.com/603DOOJ.jpg)
Eighty figures
(https://i.imgur.com/oCK7bnD.jpg)
Mounted cavalry officers, again, awaiting flags
(https://i.imgur.com/Miiahc4.jpg)
Once based and flaged, these will look great.
(https://i.imgur.com/DO6AahT.jpg)
Although a nice frosty theme might go well too

Senior generals
(https://i.imgur.com/MWK7IVD.jpg)
I've no idea about the cloak on the rear geeral, it just looked goos at the time!
(https://i.imgur.com/xipBT2E.jpg)
Three mounted and one foot character on each base was fun getting a reasonable composition,
