Venetians on the field

My new Venetian army got its first outing at Wintercon in Canberra last weekend.  In fact they bucked the trend for new units and ended up coming second.

I will put up posts over the next few days of close ups of the units.

But here are a few shots of them on the field - doing a lot of damage to a Swiss army.

Arrayed at the start of the game

Awaiting the 'off'

Doing a fair bit of damage to a Swiss pike block

Men at Arms disordered but that didn't stop them

Very brave Swiss about to meet their end

Basing time for the pikes

Now for a day of basing fun !

Arquebus ready for varnish

The three units of Arquebusiers are ready for the varnish and then basing.

 

 

Next up is a large pike block.  Just finished the dry-brushing of the armour and steel.  Sorry for the photo - it is early morning / darkish and it was a quick shot with the handheld camera in not enough light.

Close ups of new Impetus bases

These are the new bases done for the Impetus comp at Goulbourn a month ago.  This is the first time I have had the camera out so sorry they took a while.

Performed very well as well - three wins and a defeat (well a drubbing - thanks Tarty :) )

 

 

I've been told the standard is way too late for these guys - oh well ... it does look nice!

 

 

And the camp bases was upgraded with much more scenic material, fallen amphora and kitchen supplies on the table / bench.
