Swiss Burgundian Wars

[Briefspite]

I am currently painting up a Swiss Burgundian Wars collection and I just finished the first 20 Flemish Pike, 20 more will be added to complete the unit.







Next up should be a 40 man Burgundian Pike unit.

Nice!  Are these the Old Glory figures?

They all look like Perry Miniatures from their European Armies Late C15 range to me

Yes, they are Perry, mostly metal and a few plastic.

Unfortunately the casting of the Perry metals leaves much to be desired, so I will stick to their plastics once I have finished the Flemish pike unit.

True enough, alas... Some of the metals in the EA range do have a bit of a dashed-off feel

Nice unit though

Your pikemen look magnificent

Very nice, they look great!

I am thinking about getting those same metals to use as pikemen alongside my Perry plastics. I got one pack as a test run, they definitely don't seem so refined, but I'm thinking they should do.... Is it my imagination though, or are they noticeable shorter than the plastics? I know they are in a leaning forward position, but they seem 'little'....
The main reason I want them to work is I like the way they are holding the pikes, I want that 'advancing' pose not the 'marching / pikes shouldered pose'.

The Perry EA pikemen are quite crudely sculpted but do look very effective as units.

Here are some of my Swiss.  The front two ranks (3+3 figures) are on large scenic bases.
The movement trays are from Warbases.  They are brand new and will be textured to match the bases.
