Here are a few sites to help get your creativity flowing;

 

Tempus’ Real Landsknecht Homepage

http://www.theweebsite.com/landsknecht/

 

A good first stop for all things Landsknecht, of particular note are the woodcuts and paintings.

 

Landsknecht.com

www.landsknecht.com

 

As above, good links and gallery pages.

A wealth of information, have a look in particular at the photographs via the ‘campaign’ tab.

An excellent starting point and introduction to wargaming the period.

 

Wargames Foundry

In my opinion the best Landsknechts currently available, sculpted by the Perry twins, well worth the extra cash. Also their paints and brushes mentioned in the guide above.

Artizan have recently released a range of Landsknechts, a bit chunkier than WF but worth a look.

An extensive range for the Italian wars covering most armies of the period, good for filling in the gaps that other manufacturers don’t do.

Currently embarking on an Italian Wars Range, with Spanish available and a lot more in the pipeline.
