Swiss Infantry for Novara

 Here are all the Swiss infantry I need for the battle of Novara. This is very nearly the entire Swiss/Milanese force; all it's missing are a unit of heavy cavalry and a small cannon + crew, and of course the flags and commanders.

Landsknechts for Novara

 Aside from the artillery and flags, this is the entire landsknecht contingent I need for the battle of Novara. Combined with the crossbows from a few weeks ago and the Swiss (who you've mostly seen but will soon see a nice group pic of) I've completed all the infantry I need. 

Cavalry is next, and I'm not gonna lie, I find Renaissance gendarmes pretty intimidating. At least I've got a unit of stradiots too, which can break up the gendarme slog. Then its just commanders (any recommendations?) and artillery.

Halberdiers for the Swiss

 Here's the unit of halberdiers I need for Novara. Many of these are Warlord/Perry plastic mashups like I've been posting for a while now, but there's also four Assault Group minis, one Old Glory figure, and even a Games Workshop head. Probably more heavily armored than they need to be, but I like the look.

Landsknecht shot

 Same source kits in slightly different proportions.

 Another mishmash of Perry and Warlord plastics...

Crowds of Crossbowmen

I've been able to get a decent amount of painting done over my holiday break, even if I haven't been particularly inspired to blog the past month or so. But here's a bunch of crossbowmen! They are a mix of Warlord and Perry plastics, and Old Glory metals. In Novara the crossbowmen were Gascons and Navarrese, but since they are on the same side as the Landsknechts I let some of them have poofy sleeves for variety. You can also see some of the terrain I've been building from Tabletop Scenics.
