To all our experts : Did archer cavalry wear a uniform /livery or were they like the landsknechts and other infantry wore their own clothes .Got some units to paint so all the same colours or mixed?
Would be nice to have some input from Daniel S., but he's only on TMP...
Those pictures very much appreciated Stuart. It was interesting to see a figure depicted in uniform armed with bow. I am assuming it was only used dismounted.
Actually, it depends when you are looking at the Archer Cavalry. While they begin as mounted archers who dismounted to fight (like 17th century dragoons), they eventually become lighter-equipped heavy cavalry charging in the back lines of the formation in support of the gendarmes (front-rank), and I think this would be the case by the 1490's. The Chevalier Bayard supposedly started his career as an "archer."
