Next lance Spezzate unit Great Italian wars 54

 Here is another unit of Italian lance spezzate for the Great Italian wars, more Perry plastics, more splendid flags from Petes flags, Ive also included some blackened armour based on Cappaccios Venetian knight from about 1507, he reminded me a bit of those Bretonian knight errants with their long hair from about 1990!



So black ink with a bit of gloss varnish, that makes halfway through these chaps. This time Pete's flags are from the Florentine republic, slightly earlier but such lovely flags had to be used! Theres a couple of Perry 100 years war mounted knights with head swaps to make up the numbers, but I think they'll do?





Painting another Italian pike block, Perry plastic mercenary box pike with additional Perry metal heads and busily scratch building gun carts for Ravenna, Italian wars bug seems to have bit?

Bases 45mm 60mm , 3mm mdf from warbases.

Next up, more of the same or Napoleonics or an AAR?

All the best
