Landsknecht halberdiers

As I’ve mentioned previously I bought a load of early Citadel/Foundry Landsknechts at Barrage back in June. After sorting through them at home and making up another pike block from the two packs, together with the remaining Warlord Games standing pikemen from the mixed poses set, I had enough spare figures to make up this base of Halberdiers ~

These figures were sculpted by one or both of the Perry twins back in the day I believe. They won’t thank me for saying but the work is far superior to the stuff they churn out nowadays in my opinion, and the casting is far cleaner! Sometimes it seems things were better in the good old days!

I’ve also made a start on the final Landsknecht unit, the third pike block I mentioned at the beginning of this post. I’ve finished four pikemen already and I’ve also got some paint on several others. Not much progress though over the weekend as I was out at the football on Saturday and at The Other Partizan today.
