Renaissance in 6mm ... Mobilizing the Royal Guard


Another fantasy unit to augment the Landsknecht.  In this case the "Royal Guard" that look like they might fit in as Reiksguard Foot for a WHFB (RIP) Empire (RIP) Army.  There are only three castings in this case, one standing, one advancing and a standard bearer.  Based on the time period I would have preferred double handed weapons, but perhaps those will be release over time.  
I opted to paint these up next as they seemed an easy unit to knock out and get back in the knack for 6mm painting.  They are predominantly armor plate, so I went with a black undercoat/plate armor drybrush.  I picked all the shields and headdresses out in white, so the reds and purples would pop better.  I had enough to do three stands, so this should work as three separate units or one unit for Warmaster.

    1. The Microworld minis seem more like 8mm when compared to my Bacchus stuff. I would compare the detail to Adler Nepoleonics

  3. Looking fine; I agree, hard to believe they are 6's (or 8's)
