Italian Wars Swiss Foot Command Group
If you’re going to hire the best mercenaries in Europe, you should ensure they’re well-led!
Hailing from the cantons of the Swiss Confederacy, Swiss mercenary pikemen were the primary originators of the vast mercenary revolution in infantry warfare which would go on to sweep Europe and usher in the era of Pike & Shotte. Combining impressive martial skill and discipline with fierce bravery and a willingness to go on the offensive in their massed pike columns, these men were for a time the predominant force on the continent. Fighting for many masters, their weapons and ostentatious clothing attracted many imitators, most famously the German Landsknechts.
This set gives you a command group for your units of Swiss Pikemen, ensuring that your troops have officers to follow, and flags to fight under.
Sculpted by Michael Percy. Studio miniatures painted by Steff Sorensen.
