I prefer the big bases with multiple figures for wargaming

Very impressive wall of pikes!

Great formation of nice painted figs.
Very well done.

Another great looking unit - I always enjoy seeing your figures and like your palette, colourful yet subdued.

Thanks Bill, much appreciated.

Why "catholic" pikemen? there were not catholic imperial pikemen? muslim pikemen? orthodox pikemen? protestant, lutheran pikemen?

[MABO]

The Thirty Years War was a religious war in the beginning. And you have the Protestants on one side and the catholics on the other.

[giorgio]

yes, and the sides were "imperial" and "anti-imperial" or lutheran... so no need to say imperial AND catholic, unless there were, say, non-catholic allied fighting on imperial side.. and this would be not a strange thing

[MABO]

It wouldn't have been worth a post for me to point that out, but at least I now understand what you meant.

[blacksmith]

Great units!
I'm not sure if I already asked you this but, could you tell me what kind of wash you use on your minis? TIA
