Warlord games Landsknechts release

A long time ago (three years ago to be precise) Pro Gloria miniatures company launched a kickstarter containing beautiful Landsknecht miniatures. Unfortunately, the kickstater did not reach the required goal, and the company (along with the sculpts) was bought by Warlord games.

And now three years later, it seems that those miniatures will probably see the the light of day!

Some sources say that the sprue was modified a bit and that it contains less different body sculpts than Pro Gloria originally had in mind, but it also seems that Warlord games added some additional armaments into the mix.

Personally, I hope that the sprue will contain some halberd heads, just like the original release was supposed to. Although I doubt this, since the original release was also heavily merchandised on WHF-related forums and Warlords games seem to be more historically oriented (at least Pike and Shotte product line). The back of the box is showing off one halberd, but that is probably just a single sargeant/doppelsöldner upgrade.





In any case, I'm very excited and I'll be getting at least one box as soon as possible!

And it seems like my Empire army will be getting one more regiment after all.
