WIP - Chopping up landsknecht

I've been doing a lot of bits and pieces recently but nothing very WoRs specific and nothing finished but bored one evening I thought I would do something quick and easy - reposition some of the Pro Gloria/Warlord plastic landsknect. The original poses have alwys been a bit off kilter, so I thought I would cut and move the torsos in to a more natural stance.

In the end I did more than I planned, kitbashing them with some Perry's, Warlord ECW, even the odd Warhammer Empire Guards (I think) and a bit of greenstuff. I think they are now more animate, and aggressive, with pikes levelled.

Now I just need to prep and paint them and work out what campaign they are for. Sorry the photos are so bad. These are the best of a few attempts.

Book Recommendation - The Last Knight

Hi All,

Just bought The Last Knight: The Art, Armor, and Ambition of Maximilian I, the catalogue, a somewhat paltry term for a massive and lavish hardback, to the Met's exhibition of Maximilan I's armour and related artifacts.

I've seen some of these pieces in the flesh before but  his personal collection of battle, tournament and ceremenoial armour was hugh.

It contains numerous images of his personal and contemporary armour, and related images such as portraits, Maximilan's self commissioned and self-publicising semi-autobiography - check out the Freyal tounement pictures, and lots of Burgundian and Hapsburg related images.

These are accompanied by a series of essays whose core argument is that he used armour and the image of the knight as part of his public diplomacy campaign.
