Mick's Swiss and Burgundians (Steel Fist Knights 29th July 2016)

[Mick_in_Switzerland]

I have been working on Swiss and Burgundians for a while now.  Here are some WIP Pics.

First up is an Uri Hornblower

Right is Foundry, Left is converted Perry plastic WOTR

Swiss from last weekend (5th June 2012). These are mostly Perry and Mirliton metal figures with plastic cavalry.  I need 12 more flag bearers.  Some skirmishers will be replaced with Perry later.

Burgundians from last weekend (5th June 2012). These are nearly all Perry plastics.  Command from Perry Agincourt range are substitutes until the Burgundian command are launched.

Excellent spread Mick.

Your horn blower looks a lot better than the Foundry one.

Great stuff.

36 Perry and 10 Mirliton (Grenadier) Pike figures in Swiss Canton colours.


Perry plastics as Swiss command.

Perry Mounted MAA (and horse heads) on Fireforge horse bodies representing Swiss Commanders, Adrian von Bubenberg (Blue and White with star) and Hans von Hallwyl (Black wings on yellow).  The Crusader saddles were cut away and replaced with greenstuff.


Idea to make a Burgundian tent using a Renedra plastic bell tent and a paper tube.  Final version of tube will be covered in milliput.

Good idea.  I might steal that one!

[Captain Blood]

Aha. You've managed to get Perry riders to sit on the Fireforge caparisoned horses... I tried and couldn't get them to sit right 
Did you do much surgery, or did you just jam them on really hard?

Are the Mirlton / Grenadier figures the same as the Copplestone-sculpted ones that Companion Miniatures were briefly manufacturing a couple of years back? Rather nice figures...

[Mick_in_Switzerland]

Dear Captain Blood,
I did cut away the Fireforge saddles and also sanded a little from inside the legs, One figure had the legs cut at the thigh and reposotioned but that is not essential.  I rebuilt the saddles with greenstuff.

I think that the Mirliton figures were sculpted by Mark Copplestone.

Gotta love the painting style!

You have amazing forces right there! If I can give you an advice I would wash your metals a lil bit it would give a great effect with no effort!
