First up are two new command stands featuring Georg von Frundsberg and Götz Von Berlichingen. The main figures are Warlord Games' dedicated miniatures, with additional miniatures from Foundry, Wargames Atlantic (conquistador drummer), and two TAG miniatures repurposed from an earlier command stand I had built. There are some differences in figure height and bulk between the various manufactures, but I think they look reasonable enough. The figures are attached to the stands with magnets, so they can be easily broken down in the future if I want to do something different with them.
Next are two large pike blocks assembled from Foundry miniatures and the plastic Warlord Landsknecht set. There is a bit of size variation in the Foundry line, with my figures ranging 26-29mm to the eye, and the mercenary character set being much bulkier (I believe it was a different sculptor than the majority of the line). The Warlord figures sit right in the middle of that size range, so the overall blend looks fine. I was not a fan of some of the Warlord head options (they look too big for the bodies), so I've mixed in some spare Perry heads I had in the bits box.
To support my pike blocks, I assembled some strips of Doppelsöldner with Zweihänder swords. Depending on the rules set, they can either be added to the front rank of my pike blocks or set up as small associated units. The miniatures are a mix of Warlord Games Landsknechts, Wargames Atlantic conquistadors, and some 3D prints designed by Peculiar Companions (Erramir Orlans). The Wargames Atlantic miniatures are bulkier than the other two lines, but I decided to still mix them.
A Foundry great cannon and crew.
I really wanted to add some Steel Fist miniatures to my army and looked into ordering Doppelsöldner and mounted crossbowmen, but the quoted shipping from the UK to the US was astronomical (~50%), and this was even before the tariffs kicked in. I looked at a US stockist, but their inventory was pretty threadbare. About the only thing remaining were knights, so I bought six with Zweihänders. As with the above Doppelsöldner, these could be added to a pike block or kept in their own small unit.
Lastly, there are my mounted crossbowmen. As mentioned, I had hoped to get the Steel Fist set, but opted to buy the cheaper 3D prints designed by Peculiar Companions. They are smaller than the Perry cavalry, but are fine in separate units.
And with that, I think I now have enough units to more than support my portion of this project. Now we just need to find time in everyone's schedule to get this battle started.
