Try this:

Photos 5 to 9 are pikemen and gunners.

Rather not. Different dress, armour and hairstyles. Miniart Swiss are meant to be of the 1470s to 1480s, Red Box should be c.1510-1530. As if you'd mix Seven Years War and Napoleonic French. So whether or not you combine them depends on your attitude towards historical accuracy.

These figs look great! I can't wait to see them up close and personal!

Re: pictures and boxart of the new redbox swiss and landsknechts

Hurray for Redbox, They have listened about not having telegraph pole pikes and giving the pikemen open hands. I hope they line up well. We are finally seeing one of the last great uncovered periods covered in 1/72nd, and covered very competently by the look of it.
