Another category of soldiers that Elastolin/Preiser had in their line were known as Landsknechtes, which I believe were based on the 30 year war. Once I got into collecting Elastolin/Preiser, I got into collecting some of them. What follows are photos of three sets that I bought in the late 1990s:

Anyway, this collection has gotten 6 pages long. I am going to have to be more careful about what I include so as not to bore people or to take up too much space. I will try to do a better job of including multiple figures into individual pictures.

I see only 2 pages - it depends on how many posts a person can view I believe.

I thoroughly enjoy looking at your pictures

One modern set of Britain's that caught my attention has been the Wrath of The Northman Collection. It reminded me a bit of the Elastolin Normans. I like the period authentic armor as opposed to the later styles that the Britains Herald and Britains details knights that I played with as a child. I really love the detail present.

So when I got reinterested in soldiers this past fall I picked up a few of the latest Britains Saxons and Northmen from the latest releases.

Here is a picture of the Saxons:

And here is a photo of the Vikings/Northmen from the same series:

Another area of interest in mine is Woodland Indians as depicted in the film The Last of The Mohecans. I especially liked the gunstock warclub. Thus I picked up a pair of these from Britains, including one with a gunstock war club:

Here are some Elastolin Preiser Vikings:

But the vikings had no horns on their helmets, that is historically uncorrect

I believe that Vikings with Horns on helmets was some type of creation of the Victorian age. Of course that was the image so toymakers had to go with them.

Here are some more--First some Britain's Canadian Mounties. The mounted men are missing a pennant that they came with according to my research. These were bougght in the late 1960s or early 1970s:
