15th Century French

I like painting a good red livery, so naturally the French were gonna appear in this colour at some point.

These are all from the Perry plastic Mercenaries box - yet another one that's a winner. They'll be put to all sorts of uses really, and I may well expand out to another pike block for them. Need a leader too, thinking about it.

Flag is nice and simple too, which is a bonus.





This village is being hotly contested.........

  1. Nice work, great box! Of course they could also be Picard pike for the Italian wars and the French anachronistically continued to use crossbows long after every one else had gone over to handguns, you just need some landsknechts and gendarmes!

    1. True true. I'll almost certainly get another unit of pike in the same colours. Landsknechts.......if the shop ever gets it sorted out, I'm supposed to have some coming in the post. Next year project, I expect.
