Well as you know I have made a start on the Florentine forces. In the back of my mind I thought I had got some of the new Militia.

I decided that I hadn’t bothered as they were pretty much the same as the mercenary troops, but with a leather jerkin and no feathers.

Evidently I was wrong… Whilst looking for my ‘Death of the Landsnekht’ book…(I spent so long looking for it that I forgot why I wanted it!).

But I digress… Whilst mooching through my crap I came across a box….

I swore!

I have just about got myself motivated to paint the originals. So I would seem to have a pike block of nine bases. Some form of command set and the rest are shot ( four bases of close, or two and three of skirmish/two close).

One of halberd and two of sword and buckler men.

So basically another sixty miniatures to paint. Ian once again a bit disappointed by the quality control. Considering this is a brand new mold it’s a bit of a mess.

Some of the bases have holes in them and the vent on a lot of them will need a file taken to the bottom.

Somehow I was beginning to persuade myself that I really needed some Spanish, French or possibly a Papal army. I must be off my head.

Luckily Claymore is on the first so no doubt I will find lots of new shiny things to add to the pile of crap.
