Everything looks absolutely gorgeous which is one of the things I just love about medievals. There's so much colour going on. And those knights really epitomise it!

Thank you, more coming this year as we have two Wargame holidays booked to refight the period battles locally. I plan to eventually have no need to use my 300 odd WOTR figs as proxies….

Cheers

Breton Compagnie d'ordonnance billmen, again Perry miniatures, for my Breton Guerre Folle-mad war. cloth flag, based for Impetus.





cheers

Amazing work! I love the flag so beautifully done! How did you get the broccade effect?

It's such a fascinating conflict, it's not something I've been able to go into much since my French is practically non existent, but seems very similar to what was going on in Germany at the same time and afterwards.

I am using printable cloth flags, that I then repaint, they paint up nicely but take time.

I plan to write some scenarios and a linked campaign for the Mad War and Breton war (Burgundian rebels and Gascon war may also be added in)
