Ralph has been painitng a new Polish army for Impetus over the past few months. All was ready for a game so last Thursday, Ralph and I travelled to Richard's house in the Southern Highlands for a great game.
Ralph had around 800 points and my Italian Wars were the only troops any of us had that came close in period (they are too early) and size of army.
So I got all I had painted out on the table - Landschnecht, Spanish and Italian all together in a conglomerate force.
Unfortunately, the Poles fared as well as all new armies perform ......
So great seeing your large, Impetvs pike blocks with dopplesoldners leading the way.
ReplyDeleteVery impressive sight!
Thanks Jonathan. Having just received Warbook 4 with the latest Impetus army lists for the Italian Wars, there will be more doppelsoldners making an appearance - you get a bonus for having them in the front rank of a pike block!
DeleteDelightful to see your Italian wars collection again and the Polish army looks good too!

Thanks Iain - I am making plans to paint a lot more in the coming months as a sanity break between Napoleonic units. I'll share them here as they are done. Ralph has done a great jon on the Poles - all Old Glory.

DeleteHey Rich- very spectacular- both armies!!
ReplyDeleteThanks John. I am planning work on a lot more Italians over the coming 18 months. But deeply intop the Napoleonics still at the moment.
