Manufacturer Showcase - Part 2 - Fantasy Landsknecht Humans

The fantasy part of the human renaissance showcase. Some of these figures als feature in the size comparison pages of this blog. Depending on your own preferences, you could include other, more loosely renaissance inspired figures from other manufacturers, but for this showcase, I'm sticking with those that reflect the landsknecht style or are closely inspired by the GW Empire setting.

6. Mirliton

Italian company that, among other things, now produces the old Grenadier Fantasy Warriors range. The human faction of that range is on average slightly early to really fit well, but some of the figures, including the knights and characters, work well. They are gorgeous Mark Copplestone sculpts to boot.
