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.


Blurry top view.


Dragoons (and added dog hair)


Side on


Player's eye view


Advancing


Firts two units of elite armoured cuirassiers, Imperial colours were grey with a few other colours added in.


Heavy metal pistolliers


Top down


Off we jolly well go...


Players view, or legging it?


A general, generally...


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!!


Cettainly comes with a lot of equipment!


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!


Top view


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...


Back view


HArquibusiers, made from spare mounted dragoons...


ReG uses units of four bases, so two spares


Top down


More...


Third unit of cuirassiers


On the charge


Top view


Back view


Light guns battery


Guns are not glued down so might move around between shots.


Little bang!


Add some shooty noises of your own...

14 more bases of Cuirassiers for Manny done.


He will base and add standards later


Top down


The troopers


Side on


T'other side


Command stands


Sides


Almost universal uniforms


And two stands of skirmishers that got missed




BANG!

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


Decided to add spare foot command figures to bulk out the pikes


Three shot, four pikes per base feels okay, but it's not glorious 10mm


Almost, but not quite, uniformed


Green unit


But they are mostly grey?


Enough green to see they belong together


It'll never work!


Especially when the next unit is mostly greys


But even the greys have four different shades


Looking good from the back


The blues, who are the most uniformed, based on the two black stands which Manny had already started


Another officer on a horse


Top view


En masse


Looking good, if a little clean


All four infantry units


Eighty figures


Mounted cavalry officers, again, awaiting flags


Once based and flaged, these will look great.


Although a nice frosty theme might go well too


Senior generals


I've no idea about the cloak on the rear geeral, it just looked goos at the time!


Three mounted and one foot character on each base was fun getting a reasonable composition,
