KenR - 28mm Papal Gendarme


It's like a time machine, going back to Challenge IX when the Italian Wars Project was in full swing and I was firing out a unit of these a week.


So here web have another unit of 6 28mm Wargames Foundry Men at Arms done up in a red Papal theme with two flags from Pete's to finish the look.




I seem to recall these were 62 points worth so my imaginary Quarantine Challenge total is now 563, very respectable.


Next up is most likely to be some more Kingdom of Jerusalem Foot Sgts but I opened up my next paint project to the vote on Twitter so with a couple of hours to go it could still change. Hope you are all keeping safe 👍

    1. Sadly that's my last unit of Foundry Gendarme for a while. I have a few Perrys to do and plenty of light stuff lying around 👍
