Responsibility details are not available.
A figure set of infantry armed with a halberd. Compared with the pikemen of the same line it has a different role in a scene: a halberd is a weapon for a shorter distance, so these figures belong where formations clash, or on the flanks and guarding a formation, not in the rear ranks of a block.
Infantry of the 16th century with a polearm ending in a cutting head and in period dress. Neither the number of figures nor the make-up of the poses is stated. For building a scene the essential point is that poses of this type tend to be more dynamic than with sets with a long weapon; they are set out in smaller groups and will bear even standing alone, because a single figure stays readable.
The dress of this period is varied in color and in 1:72 scale it cannot be handled by masking: tape would not hold on a small figure and would not sit on the shape anyway. What is left, then, is a thin brush and judgment about how much detail makes sense. A practical procedure: first the whole dress in a base tone, then the individual areas with one extra color, and only at the end any division. Do not deal with every stripe; two or three differentiated parts are enough for a figure to come across as varied, and more detail merges from a distance and reveals imprecision from close up. Separate the color areas with a dark line at the seam, by which they set one another off. At the end unify the whole figure with a faint wash and spray it with a matte varnish; varied painting without a matte varnish comes across as restless and the individual areas fight one another optically.
The figures are supplied unassembled and unpainted. Paints, glue and a base are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
