Landsknecht Mercenaries, Italian Wars Warlord Games November 2025
I was feeling like I was in a bit of a funk with my painting for a while, and so I thought what better way to break the cycle of endless brown-and-green uniforms than by breaking out the broader colour palette and slapping a bit of motley on some renaissance mercenaries! Here we have a trio of cheeky Landsknechts, playing a game of dice while their mounted commander looks on (perhaps he's ready to give them a good telling-off for shirking their responsibilities). I particularly love the expression on the chap who's clearly just lost a packet on the game. Being able to paint up some minis in an absolute riot of colour (I'm getting alcopop-vomit vibes from these) has really helped to remind me why I love this hobby so much, and I'm so chuffed with the finished product. Now I just have to fight the urge to start a whole army of these eccentric chaps.
