Swiss Army knives and swords and pikes and arqubuses

27th Feb 2026

It’s time for the Baccus weekly update.   No magic number with this post, as Lindy is still working on finalising it, but she has promised to make it available tomorrow while I am at Hammerhead with the Baccus trade stand.

However, that is not the main purpose of this week’s piece. It’s New Release time! As promised, the Swiss infantry is now available for the Italian Wars, and colourful little chaps they are.

 

Sadly, my painting has not caught up with the release schedule, but I will be completing all the codes over the next few weeks. They aren’t the easiest to paint, but that are very, very rewarding. You can find all the details here. https://www.baccus6mm.com/catalogue/ItalianWars/Swiss/

We’ve also added a couple of new flag sheets.  Let’s face it, it’s the Italian Wars.  It’s ALL about the flags!

I’ll have a few packs with me at tomorrow’s show, so if you fancy recruiting some of the most fearsome troops in all of Christendom, you will find us in our usual spot near the café entrance.

The Lens 1648 game will be in attendance, so if you fancy a go, just turn up and Ben will be happy to conduct you through the ensuing slaughter.
