Landsknechts going 'Bang'!

28th Mar 2025

Good evening all.  Well, it's evening for me as I type this, so I guess you are all stuck with it no matter what time you choose to read these words.  The end of the week means that it is Baccus magic order number time, and this currently stands at #31588.   The good news is that we are accelerating turnover quite nicely and are catching up on the recent backlog of orders at a good rate.

Continuing the theme of previewing new items to be released at Salute, this week we are returning to the Italian Wars in the form of some rather jolly little Landsknecht arquebusiers caught in the act of loading and firing their weapons.

For those of you interested in these things, each pose comes with two basic variants of dress.   These are then given a series of different headgear resulting in their being 48 variants in this single code.  Who says that you can't have a good variety of dress options in 6mm?

In response to lots of requests, here is listing of what will shortly be available for the Landsknecht codes:

  • Pikemen at advance (released)
  • Pikemen doing the stabby, stabby thing (released)
  • Arquebusiers marching with shouldered weapons
  • Arquebusiers loading and firing
  • Two handed swordsmen
  • Artillery

Salute is now just two weeks away.  There is still plenty of time to get those collect at show orders in to us, but please make this sooner rather than later, as we have a lot of metal to cast in advance of the show.  

More new release previews to come next week.
