Looks excellent. A much neglected period, always look impressive with it's massed pikes and knights, always very colourful. Well done.

Nice looking game Malcolm, the 16th century is a great period to game with huge military innovations taking place throughout the century and very colourful, the only problem is painting up Landknechts, they take ages to finish.

Beautiful figures - I love the period, lots of color, experimental technologies and tactics - great stuff to model!

Very nice. My pet project this year is Giovanni Medici's black bands. Only 15 companies!

I never painted all the figures, but a fair number and its a bloody annoying once starting but worth it in the end, i like the period now because of the colours and it made me think how vain the men were back then with those pointy things down below. :roll:
