I really think that Mantic will for the "landsknecht" (? did I spell that right) theme, but what I'm hoping they'll do is go for a more "English civil war" feel. What do you think?
I want landsknecht style. Lots of puffy sleeves! GW has moved away from that style in recent years and the Empire state troops currently look like idiots in pyjamas covered in skulls rather than proper soldiers. I'm not placing high odds on mantic using this style though, they tend to to their own thing.
The Perry's already have English Civil War styled plastic miniatures, mantic also making a range of them would be redundant.
I just want to see a nice simple sprue of human soldiers, like the warhammer plastic state troops that the perrys sculpted back in 5th edition.
If mantic get this right I am literally on the cards to buy at least a thousand models. Empire was my main fantasy army for army, but I just do not like the sculpts GW made for 7th edition (and they probably won't be replaced for another decade or so either).
