I'm looking for some figures to represent Warhammer Empire Greatswords, i.e. Plate armour, renaissance style and big swords?

would LAN3 work, or do these have no armour?

Like these ones:



The LAN3 unfortunately doesn't have armour, so wouldn't be right.  But when I look at the pic above, I keep seeing this chap:



Or if that's too Eastern, what about the guy on the right, minus the crest on the helmet:

Thanks Leon some interesting ideas.

I think I was going more for this style, especially the big floppy hat and slashd clothes

Thanks for the pic of LAN3 might be the best even without armour...

I use LAN3 to represent great swordman for the Empire in warmaster games. I use to treat them as Halberdiers with some veterany feature.

I think Pendraken Elizabethan, early 16 English/scot and some of the English Civil war ranges works great to represent WH Empire.
English Civil War is specially interesting to represent witchhunter army
