Doppelsoldner Landsknecht

myminifactory

The Doppelsöldner, translated as "double-mercenaries" or  "double-pay men", were Landsknechts in Renaissance Germany who volunteered to fight in the front line, taking on extra risk, in exchange for double payment. They used their massive two-handed Zweihänder swords to cut off the pointy ends of enemy pike and break through to the pikemen. I.E. they were the bad asses of "bad-war".  This four figure multi-part set includes parts to build several poses with lot of floppy hats, slashed puffy sleeves and the rest that we associate with these vain and arrogant elite warriors.  painted prints featured in the product photos by Han Gao
