Valleyboy's Italian wars(update 28/8)

Thanks again all
Thankfully I've managed to finish off some Perry plastics for the collection though its been a bit of grind. I can't really say that I enjoyed painting the heavy cavalry or mounted men at arms box but stuck at it. They're meant to bolster my Spanish so I gave them mainly Spanish flags by Pete's flags and one by Maverick models. The light cavalry box is so versatile  so these will do for generic Italians. I'm glad to have got the bulk of the cavalry now finished but I doubt I'll be able to pass up the opportunity to add more Foundry Gendarmes when I visit for Partizan!

Thanks all
Have made more progress - this time painting up Perry Miniatures Italian infantry as Milanese
There's an old unit of heavy infantry I painted a few years ago to which I've added another heavy infantry unit, a light infantry unit and a unit each of Arquebusiers and bowmen that are cross!
All but one flag is from Pete's flags and this time I made some shield transfers using Wappen Wiki which suggests these could do for both the houses of the Visconti or Sforza



Heavies at the back, lights in front





Bowmen that are cross!



Arquebusiers





Home made shield transfers


Painted shields - that's why there aren't many!
