I'm a big fan of Irregular Wars, don't need huge numbers of figures for a force, gives a good fun game, with lots of friction.

Thanks Fred, I will check it out.  These figures would also be useful for Border Reiver type games and raids.

That they would.

Irregular Wars is aimed at the large skirmish / small battle size of game so good for this sort of raid.

Excellent news!  Fills a couple more gaps for Spanish in the Italian wars!

I can feel another Fernando Enterprises painting order and huge Pendraken order coming on...

On that point, are there any 10mm pele towers or border type bastles in resin ?

The glaring gap now is a generic early sixteenth century unarmoured pike set with a few different hat types, for French, Italian, french etc, or just filling the ranks with the armoured figures at the front.

ER10 Early  C16th European pikemen are a terrific little pack. Some of the Scots pike, Landsknecht pike and late medieval armoured and unarmoured pike can be added to the mix to produce some great looking French/Italian and Spanish pike units.

I can second ER10, they're very handy!

AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH!

I wish you lot would stop doing stuff for Italian Wars, I already have loads of 15m painted figures and even more unpainted 15mm for it.

And you lot keep adding to the temptation.

Still there is not a Stradiot in the range, so I will convince myself that I cannot do an army until it is.  :) :)

Impetus (15mm and mostly BI2 these days), To the Strongest (28mm), FoGR (10mm). Can't decide what to do with my 6mm, but will probably put them on big bases to make dioramas then find something I can use them with.

I did but FOGR and after reading it it seemed incredibly fiddly. I have looked at Impetus a couple of times, I am no investigating tweaking Sword and Spear.
