A bevy of bellicose Burgundians bravely bearing blades (possibly before bolting!)

 I have spent my last few painty sessions primitively  daubing the first few units for my late 15th century Burgundian Ordonnance force to face my Swiss. Do you want to see them?...




Here you go:


 Just my little (historically accurate) wee joke. Here they really are:


Two pike units and some archers.


Pikes the first, as with the Swiss all the minis are 10mm pendraken.


2nd pike. I have to admit to being rather fast and loose with the banners. I struggled to find much info on what each one represents and who should be carrying what so I have just gone for what looks good.

Archers.


The brave Burgundian line prepares to turn back the Swiss steamroller...or (more likely) die trying!.


...till next time...

    1. I know what you mean, Pikes just look so cool in big units, especially if you can put a few units of them on the table.

  2. Very impressive... blocks of figures are always nice to see, but your paintjob really make them pop (pop!). I remember the day when I thought (and you also) that your were a non painter wargamer...

    1. It's a rather large jump I must admit. I really should get the unpainted plastics out again for another game
