This page cover half of my Italian Wars Armies, basically those that opposed France. Currently this is Italy and Imperial Germany / Landsknechts, though Spanish will follow shortly
Most of the figures are Essex 15mm, and are mostly painted by myself. The French / Swiss army was painted by the same professional painter who did my Ottoman Turk army, and a few of his knights have got into this page, I wonder how that happened.
Under Armati these are very interesting armies, having considerable firepower.
| ITALIAN WARS - Italian / Landsknects - Approx 1494-1525AD | |
|
Renaissance artillery up close, Painted for my French Italian wars army, but can be used anywhere (Next dozen or so pics were taken Sep 2003 Nikon 995) |
|
|
All my knights, mostly french but there are german and hungarians in the background as well |
|
|
and again, many of these figures are essex, plus some gladiator miniatures, and maybe a couple of others for variety |
|
|
Knight in foreground is one of my Hungarians, I painted them, most of French were painted professionally |
|
|
Foreground are all professionally painted French. |
|
|
I've forgotten their names, but they are those serbian croat types used by the French (I think) |
|
|
French mounted crossbowmen |
|
|
French made considerable use of crossbow skirmish troops |
|
|
Some landsknechts on the other hand have gone a little high tech |
|
|
My beautiful assorted Italian Infantry, not sure how accurate the weapons mix is but they look very late medieval. All figures are Essex 15mm, Painted in Feb 2001. |

15mm French knights painted by a professional for me. What is unusual about these two pictures are they were taken using a borrowed fuji finepix still digital camera, quality is first rate.

Atmospheric or what!

15mm Knights, mostly French not painted by me, in a general charge. Most of the figures are essex and a few are not.

My beautiful French knights, mostly essex, not painted by me, excellent figures, beautiful paint jobs, Fuji Reala and EOS 300mm doing good job |

I painted these Essex 15mm pikemen up as Spanish, but they could also be Swiss or Italian. Photo on Fuji Reala |

|
Most of my Spanish troops are generic renaissance figures, but these Genitors (Jinetes) are very spanish. 15mm Essex figures |
