Happy to get a more substantive post this week, that includes finishing a unit! First up are the figures painted this week. These are mainly Old Glory, but the two on the left are older Irregular Miniatures. The figure without the pike becomes a standard bearer in the finished unit.
Now these were done I could combine with those previously painted and some rebased figures to give the finished new pike block.This represents the third pike block at Marignano 1515 based around the cantons of Lucerne, Basle and Schaffhausen.
The ram flag is from Pete's flags and had to self create a flag for the Lucerne canton using the white cloth material left over from the flag sheet. Luckily Lucerne is a simple two colour banner white/light blue so quite easy to paint and weather in - should I call this a plagiarised Pete's Flag? Anyway pleased with the effect. As always great to base the figures and spend time to create the look of the unit.
Post Covid this unit is going straight into action in a Basic Impetus rules Swiss army to take on Burgundians! Cant wait ..........
Cheers Jez
