Warlord Administer Last Rites to the Wounded of the Italian Wars

March 1, 2015 by dracs

Warlord Games have a somewhat morbid release for the Italian Wars range in Black Powder as they bring out a pack of Landsknecht wounded.

This pack features a wounded officer being assisted by his aid, while behind him a dying knight has the last rites administered by a priest.

These minis are a very cinematic addition to the Italian Wars range and could well be used as unit fillers or as part of a diorama, serving as a small vignette of the larger battle.

Warlord have suggested that these could be used as casualty markers, or even as objective for specific scenarios. These would certainly make for a good narrative to accompany the game, as your men desperately try to save their wounded commander.

Do you play Black Powder? Can you tell us anything about the history of the Italian Wars?
