Venetian command Italian wars 20

Here is another Italian wars post, it's a pair of Perry figures a metal late mediaeval mounted commander based on Paolo Uccello's painting of the battle of San Romano in 1432,so not strictly kosher for the late 15th,early 16th but it's a lovely figure so I'm using him! The flag bearer is a plastic figure from the mercenaries set,a great kit,my favourite set to be honest and the flag is a blown up copy from the Perry box to bring it more into keeping with my other flags.



Well there we go, small post but they can't all have 108 figures in them and I'm pretty happy with them,I'm bashing together warlord landsknechts and perry mercenaries to give me a nice mixed pike block and I have some foundry and artizan landsknechts undercoated, even if I should be doing mounted crossbow men and jinets!
All the best

    Excellent! A post with few figures is just as inspiring as a post with 108 Landsknechts. Besides, a two figure command vignette is attainable by most unlike a massive 108 figure pike block.

      Thanks Jonathan it's quite nice working on a couple of figures as you see the result so fast, it's just not as efficient at producing large units

    Nice commander. After doing a large project it can be nice to do something smaller. The flag looks suitably inspiring! As if anyone is going to point out that the figures aren’t quite 16th century. 😀

    Lovely!

    I'm taking a break from 40K and heading back to the Renaissance this week as well - though a couple centuries later than these lads. Working on some Scottish highlanders I'm hoping to finish up for a little ECW game I'm playing tomorrow...

      Thanks Tim! You've been ploughing through your 40k kit, probably time for a change of pace.

    Loads of fun character in these. Commanders should stand out nicely and these certainly do.
