Here are some Swiss crossbowmen on foot, after their mounted counterparts of some months ago. These are Perry plastics, with some Perry metal Swiss heads mixed in. The flag is from the excellent Pete's Flags.
With these miniatures I have tried to give an impression of mixed origins, with soldiers hailing from different cantons and dressed in their personal clothes, while still forming a coherent all. Some of the men are reloading, some are marching, some are shooting. This is to represent the skirmishers advancing ahead or on the flanks of the main body, harrasing the enemy and keeping the pressure up.
