I would buy half a ton of Perry Landsknechts. No idea what I'd use them for -- I don't play Warhammer Fantasy -- but they'd have to be useful for something.

Pro Gloria have been working on with Renedra on plastic Landsknechts for a long time - looks like they'll be running a kickstarter in the autumn, but a lot of the work is done:

Definitely on the cards.... Agincourt men at arms are in progress...

I mean, I know what the Perrys look like, but that just popped into my head...

For Bretonnians I think having shields is a priority on how they look, and late medieval armor makes shields redundant. If I can find loose, cheap shields i'll add them to my cavalry, damn historical accuracy I'm making a fantasy army dammit.

(Also, does that 'mutli-quote' button on each post do anything? Nothing that I can see, so far.)

I don't disagree at all. I've got more than a few Historical models bought and in the paint queue ready for use in Fantasy gaming (amongst other things). But when people ask for a "Fantasy Line" from the Perrys, my guess is that they're not asking for Landsknechts or Wars of the Roses models, etc.

That's true. I wonder though....
If Perry put out some Landsknechts and put them up on Dakka without any historical reference, there'd probably be alot of folks whose first impulse would be to say "Oooh, Perry is copying GW empire" followed by alternate chorus's of "Boo Perry" and "I've gotta have them".
The line between fantasy and historical is thin in places.

You mean like these?

Still, that'd be fine, and also incredibly easy to inform people who were uninformed about it. Which would in turn be a very good thing.
