Mercenary Pikeman with Burned Face
From the bottom of the base to the tip of the pike, this figure is an imposing 80mm. I'll need to lie him down to store him in my case with the others.
As you can see, the pike is ridiculously long. En masse, these things could definitely keep the enemy at bay, but individually (en individuellement?), they look pretty unwieldy. For this very reason, landsknecht pikemen carried distinctive swords known as katzbalgers. While I have tiny katzbalgers for these guys, I couldn't get one to fit well onto this figure's belt, so I decided not to include it.
On the one side of his face, there's a bit of burned skin. The greatest threat to massed fighters (in D&D) is fireball, so this guy must have experienced one and lived to tell the tale.
The general colors are the same as the other Coinpikes, but I gave him a red left leg instead of white (as I've done on several others). I felt he needed more red, which is why the top ruffle(?) on his right sleeve is also red. He also has a chain mail mantle painted in the same bronze as the plate armor of the others; steel wouldn't look right.
This brings my Coinpikes up to seven members. From left to right in the picture below: Armored zweihander, spellcaster, burned pikeman, armored sword and shield, rookie pikeman, arbalest, and unarmored zweihander. They fill me with joy.
