Europe in the late 15th and early 16th centuries was a place of almost constant warfare. With no organised national armies, battlefields were the domain of the mercenary companies of the day - chief amongst these were the colourfully dressed Landsknechts.

Landsknechts were instigated by the Holy Roman Emperor, Maximillian I, as a reaction to the Swiss mercenary pikemen that had dominated battlefields for decades before the Italian Wars (1494-1559).

They would be found in most armies in Western Europe of the time, even appearing in the British Isles in the service of Henry VIII. Clashes between rival Landsknecht regiments were particularly bloody, becoming known as 'Bad War'.

The toughest of a rough bunch were the veteran DoppelsÃoldner - soldiers on double pay. Their extra payment was for volunteering to fight in the front ranks and the inherent risk that entailed. The trick was surviving to claim the extra pay!

DoppelsÃoldner would most often be armed with the ranged arquebus or crossbow and arrayed in front of the main blocks of pikemen. Alternatively, they may be armed with the vicious six foot long two-handed swords, the ZweihÃanders, or equally long halberds. ZweihÃander-armed Landsknechts would generally be found in the front ranks of the pike blocks or occasionally detached to form their own unit for special roles as well as providing protection for the unit's colour party. The famous German mercenaries, the Black Band, included 2,000 two-handed swordsmen.

The figures in this boxed set can be used to represent the Landsknechts raised in Germany or other nations of the period and can be armed with either halberds or ZweihÃander swords.

This box set contains:

Plastic and metal components to make 12 Landsknechts with two-handed swords and 12 with halberds.
Plastic bases.
Models supplied unassembled and unpainted

Chain breaks easily
Color: Stainless Steel: gold 1 paw, Color: Stainless Steel: gold 1 paw
Quality is not great and it already broke in less than 4 hrs of wearing it. Loved the idea of honoring my dog that passed and it’s not very durable. Gently tried to take it off and it pulled apart.

BUY BUY BUY!
Color: Stainless Steel: silver 1 paw
i bought this necklace in sliver 2 years ago. has my cats name on it. i wear it everyday for the past 2 years and it has not made me break out or even tarnish. i don’t have to clean it all the time but when i do it’s doesn’t effect it and it’s super cute. the size is perfect and for the price it’s super cheap and last a long time. i always hate ordering on amazon for jewelry bc 9/10 they do tarnish or don’t last or break very easily. i love this necklace so much and means a lot to me. so if ur wanting a long lasting necklace BUY THISSSS!!!!

I just received this ring. It is beautiful. So pleased . The fit is perfect and in my opinion, it looks very expensive. The design is so classy . This is not my birthstone but it is my mother’s.
