Title: [Montlhéry-1465] Burgundian Army Project
Post by: poulppy on May 16, 2023, 08:28:18 AM

Hello, I'm back after a while with a project about a Burgundian army base for Dragon Rampant and extend it for Swordpoint or Warhammer.

The beginning was the reading of the Jean de Haynin Memories. He described the army of the Comte de Charollais (Future Charles the Bold) and the main banners and liveries. You can find some illustrations on this forum here : https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=132309.0 (https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=132309.0).

My first step was to made some banners for my Army (avalaible on my Banners Blog : https://flagspennonsandbanners.blogspot.com/ (https://flagspennonsandbanners.blogspot.com/))

And now I'm Painting the units.

First one is the Antoine de Bourgogne Army

My next units from my Monthléry themed Battle.  it's the 'Archers de corps' of the count de Charollais - Future Charles the Bold.
From the Jean de Haynin memories.

Quote

'[...] L’estandart du comte de Charollais estoit tout de soye my party de noir et de violet, à un bel Brancage, l’un parmy l’autre. [...]'

'[...] Ceux des archers du comte de Charrolois estoient de drap my-parti de noir et de violet, les archers de corps ayans une croix de Sainct-Andrieu de deux bastons netelleux dedans un fusil, et un C et M des deux costez ducict fusil, tout d’orfèverie [...]'

I used as model the standard from the Freiburg Fahnenbuch.  :

So 12 more miniatures for my Army :

Great work on the Saint-Pol retinue! I was never quite sure how to depict the "houppe" described in the Mémoires

Houppe is hold french For pompom. Houppe is often use in the period. I use a part of a Amedée and Yolande pennon on the Freiburg Fahnenbuch as example.

Hello thanks for the likes !

I made some new miniatures with the Swiss mercenaries of the Duc de Calabre and Lorraine.
