Europe in the late 15th and early 16th centuries was a place of almost constant warfare. With no organised national armies, battlefields were the domain of the mercenary companies of the day - chief amongst these were the colourfully dressed Landsknechts.

Landsknechts were instigated by the Holy Roman Emperor, Maximillian I, as a reaction to the Swiss mercenary pikemen that had dominated battlefields for decades before the Italian Wars (1494-1559).

They would be found in most armies in Western Europe of the time, even appearing in the British Isles in the service of Henry VIII. Clashes between rival Landsknecht regiments were particularly bloody, becoming known as 'Bad War'.

The toughest of a rough bunch were the veteran DoppelsÃoldner - soldiers on double pay. Their extra payment was for volunteering to fight in the front ranks and the inherent risk that entailed. The trick was surviving to claim the extra pay!

DoppelsÃoldner would most often be armed with the ranged arquebus or crossbow and arrayed in front of the main blocks of pikemen. Alternatively, they may be armed with the vicious six foot long two-handed swords, the ZweihÃanders, or equally long halberds. ZweihÃander-armed Landsknechts would generally be found in the front ranks of the pike blocks or occasionally detached to form their own unit for special roles as well as providing protection for the unit's colour party. The famous German mercenaries, the Black Band, included 2,000 two-handed swordsmen.

The figures in this boxed set can be used to represent the Landsknechts raised in Germany or other nations of the period and can be armed with either halberds or ZweihÃander swords.

This box set contains:

Plastic and metal components to make 12 Landsknechts with two-handed swords and 12 with halberds.
Plastic bases.
Models supplied unassembled and unpainted

Love these authentic FP moxie jeans
Size: 29, Color: Truest Blue
I purchased two pairs of moxie FP jeans on Amazon both on sale. I love how different they are. The paint splatters are just the right amount in my opinion. I think the barrel leg is just wide enough without being obnoxious. I like an oversized look and these were the right price for me on Amazon. I love the rope waistband on these too
