Impetus Fantasy: I actually painted something.

I realise that normal wargamers paint all the time. I've been in a bit of a slump - but look, I've done more!

Human Pikemen, Landser for my new Impetus Fantasy army. The figures are Perry 28mm. I love these figures. Even the boring ones beat out other company's miniatures. I think part of it is that you are getting something more like a metal miniature in a plastic form, in that the Perrys don't seem to go in a whole lot for the multi-pose thing. The advantage is the poses seem to make more sense. I've done the front rank as armoured. I especially like the swordsman model, which I realise you can't really see from this angle. 

Or this angle either. I've used a colour scheme, and flag, to make these suitable for Italian Wars Venetians as well. Romagnol Pikemen. I've opted to avoid being too uniform and have kept the overall scheme 'grimey' to make the fantasy figures look a little more 'realistic', whatever that means. 

Here is the plan. Pike blocks as squares of 25 models. A Perry box is 40 figs. My first box is split as six T crossbow with Pavise, six T Arquebus with Pavise and four S skirmishing crossbow. So 24 figs to make the Pike block. there is only enough pikes for 18 models, plus two flag models, one of whom can be a pikeman. Then four other figs to make up the unit.

Next on the agenda: ten crossbow.
