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

    1. That was fast Jonathan! Maybe notifications are working this time?! Trying to work through a few Italian wars battles, Ravenna is on the list but Ive got to finish my war carts first!

    2. I was thinking that maybe the notifications issue has been fixed, as when I logged on just now, 3 posts appeared on my feed and none of them from days or many hours ago. Fingers crossed and all that!

  2. Fine work there Iain and those flags are too good not be used as you rightly say:)! I couldn't help but notice the bookcases/shelves in the background, which made me rather jealous. Maybe one day...
