Burgundian Pikes finished
« on: July 31, 2019, 09:44:06 AM »
Finished 3 x 48 of Burgundian pike, which will do for the time being, although one can never rule out doing a few more in the future! These are a mix of Perry plastics and metals, Foundry and a few venerable Connoisseur figures. Flags of War, Pete's Flags Perry's and a couple of homemade flags.
Moving on to the cavalry next!

Oh wow, fantastic!

Cavalry next? Is this going to be a big project then?

Tell me more about the flags.... I'm wanting to get together some 'generic' Burgundian infantry flags myself which aren't associated with Charles the Bold (for the years after his death, the War of Burgundian Succession). Where did you get the white one with the red Burgundian saltire?
And are a few of them from the Perry plastic sets? I don't like the shiny card they come on, but was considering scanning them in and printing them out again on paper myself.

Thank you Charlie for your kind words- The white flag with the red cross (and the stripey ones) are from Flags of War. They have a "make your own" facility whereby you can customise colours with a few basic designs- frankly, its a BRILLIANT resource for more general medieval flags, and the quality is top notch.

I was the same as you as far as the Perry flags' shiny-ness, however, I tend to do a bit of shading and highlighting on them anyway, and/or give them a wash. Then once you matt varnish them, they come out matt. Given that you get so many of the things in the plastic sets I suggest you just experiment a bit although I'm sure if your resolution is good enough re-printing would be fine.
Steel Fist miniatures also do some lovely saltire flags for Burgundian Landsknechts which I have just ordered

Great looking group.

Wow, now that is what all pile blocks should look like. Lovely work and I look forward to seeing the cavalry.

Those are great, they really have the 'captured in mid movement' look for sure, kudos.

I'd hate to accidentally put my hand down on those though :)

Thanks

amazing work! I love all the stances... you'll need to give a lesson to anyone who plays with them on how to move them properly so they don't break all the pikes with their sausage hands!

Impressive and spectacular! So great variety of postures and so neat painting!
And cinema-like pictures! Great!  :-*

Thank you!
 The first units of  Coustilliers and foot Knights are finished now, a bit of basing and I’ll put some pics up after the weekend.
