I picked up one of the Fantasy Renaissance packs recently - man THIS is the kind of Fantasy I can really get into! So I decided to kick off my first foray into the genre with a fantasy army for the Florentine Republic. I prototyped the uniform for a Florentine pikeman this evening. I realize they didn't actually wear uniforms in the Renaissance but it's fantasy and I'm going a little farther down the road of state society, and giving these guys uniform, albeit pretty flashy, clothing colors.

I saw some talk about how to interpret the ridgey trousers - to me they looked like frills and a good chance for a color contrast so I made them red - also the plume and the flourish on the sword - to keep the colors of the Florentine flag and to not make such a small figure too busy, since they'll be based in ranks. The rest of the clothing is light blue shadow with white highlights. I interpreted the shirt as an armored cuirass and made it a steel color - I like the look.

I'm still technically shopping for rules systems but I've basically decided to use Warmaster for this one. I'm also going with my usual base labels - with all game data on them:

I finally came back to this one! With pikemen doing so much lamenting these days, I felt like Warmaster was ready for a re-take. This is my first attempt at something like this - I'm getting used to it.

Nice colour scheme. I usually find white difficult to do on small models but these work well.

Came back to this one to conquer my lifelong fear of painting horses. But what ELSE are the Pistolieri going to ride into combat when the Venetians come calling?

Thanks man! Here's the first part of a Pistolieri regiment, based for Warmaster Fantasy (since there will be magic involved - the Florentines will follow the path of Alechemy, giving them access to all kinds of science-fictioney contraptions).

The base proportions are equal to the original Warmaster bases, but scaled down for 6mm scale. I like them better than the huge bases I tried above. They're also, of course, in Imperial units, since I'm in the USA: 1 1/4" x 5/8".

The Da Vinci Steam Tank Mk. I! I hesitated a lot on this but finally dove in. The scalloped armor plates really speak to me - a lot of character.
