I know I promised to finish two of my Swiss pike blocks, but somehow, always something more exciting comes in between and scrambles my production plan (if there is one).
This time, in the form of a small collected force of diverse southern French town militia, lend to his Majesty Francis I, heading for Italy; As Crossbowmen aiming behind their pavises. Even though the Italians (and the Spanish) had already begun to discard the Pavises, I found, it gives these Midi hot heads a bit of a rustic old fashioned flair. Still two are missing ... The miniatures are Perrys metal and the Pavises are form the Perry plastics.
Next time it must be Swiss!

Very, very nice, Michael, extended work, but we need more pike blocks ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Bart, feel free to add a few Landsknechts pike blocks yourself! or some Neapolitan-Spanish, maybe? :)
DeleteStunning job Michael, stunning job....
ReplyDeleteThank you, Phil!
DeleteExcellent work!
ReplyDeleteThank You! Will try to keep up the good work. :)
DeleteWhat a great bunch. Really nice result on these. Those handpainted shields are top stuff. Cheers
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! I think, I like painting heraldry on 28mm. Some stuff like lions, not so much Fleur de Lys, as they always look like crooked bananas in my case ...
DeleteFantastic heraldry, nice old fashioned french can't wait for the Swiss!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain! Now I really have to come up with Swiss next time ...
