Burgundian Ordonnance Longbowmen

 Some more Burgundians for the collection. Here are two units of longbowen, probably English in Burgundian service. Once again the miniatures are from the Perry plastic box set, 20 men per unit on 200x50mm. 


One unit is stationary and shooting, while the other is marching, some of the men with their bows still in their covers. In the marching unit I tried to create an impression of slight disorder, some of the men discussing and arguing, looking at each other, pointing in different directions. The idea was to represent the confusion created by the unexpected arrival of the Swiss, be it in Grandson or in Murten, where the Burgundians were caught unaware and struggled to find the right response.
