Burgundian Ordonance Infantry

 It has been a while since the last update, but I have made some progress on my late medieval project. I have added some infantry to my Burgundian force, namely some halbardiers and some skirmishing handgunners. 



The halbardiers are lead by a man-at-arm with a converted bend, the pattern for which I shamelessly copied from Simon's excellent blog. The flag is from the Krigsspil website (https://web.archive.org/web/20120117013854/http://www.krigsspil.dk/). The miniatures are plastic Perry War of the Roses figures. They are based on a 200 mm frontage. The aim here was to represent professional ordonance troops, but ones that haven't had too much money showered on them, as the basic, boring infantry wasn't necessarily at the top of Charles the Bold's priority list. I will make both feudal troops as well as more menacing mercenary units in the future, but I thought that a middling unit would certainly have its place.


Next is a unit of skirmishing handgunners, to be deployed in front of the main line of battle. These are also Perry plastics with a Krigsspil flag.
