Italian Wars Vignette Hints of What is to Come

Sometime ago I contacted Nick Collier and asked if he would be interested in some conversion work for an Italian Wars vignette idea I was planning on working on. Nick and I agreed that I would paint up some Wargames Foundry Medieval miniatures for him in exchange for the putty work; well worth it as my putty work leaves oh so much to be desired! The original miniature of from Warlord Games, Last Rites - Landsknecht Wounded pack (WGP-LS-40). 

Nick also kindly, and without being prompted, knocked together a wounded Landsknecht for me as well to add to one of my pike blocks. I am utterly over the moon with the results on both miniatures.

Vignettes

I was very tempted to do a full write up of what inspired the making of all these vignettes. But why? Is the whole point of a vignette not to be part of the a subplot of a game? To provide an anecdote or to add drama? Indeed, to tell a story in it's own right? With that in mind, I'm going to let the pictures do the talking.
