If I was to post the army reviews in the order I took the pictures, this would have been a review of my 15mm NSL forces. However, as the previous post was 15mm SciFi, I decided to change the order a bit and post my late medieval/early renaissance Swiss army this evening.
All the figures here are from Donnington Ancient & Modern.
 |
| Mounted crossbowmen and half the pikes |
 |
| ...and the other half of the pikes |
 |
| Lorraine knights |
 |
| Rene, Duc de Lorraine et Bar |
 |
| Halberdiers |
 |
| Camp scene |
 |
| Artillery and 7 Swiss command stands |
 |
| Artillery and "enfants perdu" |
 |
| Skirmishing handgunners |
 |
| Skirmishing crossbowmen |
This is one army that is pretty well complete. The only things I might add are some mounted handgunners - a whole whopping 8 figures - and perhaps another 4 stone wall sections. I'm nowhere near maxed out on pikemen or halberdiers with respect to the FoGAM and FoGR army lists, but any more than what I have now would be insane.
Great looking army
ReplyDeleteFantastic, so much good work here. I love your bright colors and my, that's a lot of pike!
ReplyDeleteYou do have a lot of wonderfully painted little men Tamsin.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the 600,000 milestone too - that's an awfully big number!
DeleteI've always loved the Swiss, one of my favourite armies!
ReplyDeleteAha... I was wondering when this would make an appearance! I remember the pike from a challenge some time back, quite possibly because I was still in therapy from a similarly monumental effort.
ReplyDeleteAnd while I'm here, as Sir Michael has already said congrats on the 600K!
That sure is a nice looking army Tamsin, 600,000 hits is no slack hand either!!!

One of my last 25 mm armies was Renaissance Swiss, I love that army. Well done Tams!
ReplyDelete@ Neil - thanks! :)
ReplyDelete@ Monty - cheers! I guess the knights, commanders and artillery are quite colourful - the rest would be too if you could see the rear views! :)
@ Michael A - thank you m'Lord! :)
@ Francis - go on, admit it - it's the thought of big mountain men waving their long shafts around or hitting up people with their big choppers that gets you going isn't it? :p
@ Millsy - well it had to appear sooner or later; I opted for sooner! That pike block back in first Challenge was an immense project, but well worth it I'd say :)
@ Ian - thanks! :)
@ Herkybird - the Renaissance Swiss is even more colourful than these boys - it must have been quite a sight in 25mm :)
Fantastic! I'll let Damian of Donington know of your masterpiece. Just got 200 pikes from him and not looking forward to glueing process!
ReplyDeleteGreat post!

Thanks! I'm pretty sure that Damian is aware of my army. :)
