I've added a row of bases of front rankers for my Burgundian Ordonnance pike unit.
These are all Perry metals and will be used as an option to extend the size of the pike bloc. I may add targes at a later date, so that they can be used with my other planned pike bloc, who I intend to model carrying targes & bucklers (as required by the Ordinances set out for Charles' army). I may also use them alongside archers - as it appears that Charles trained units of pikes and longbows to work together, with the pikes providing close protection from cavalry attacks for the archers. Some kneeling open-handed figures from the Perrys in the WR/EA ranges would be really useful for these (...here's hoping).
now this is what i call a lovely pike bloc. Well done

You can never have too many pikes !
ReplyDeleteHmmmm....tasty! Great looking units. Interesting idea for the filler at the front of the bases, haven't seen this before. Definitely one for future thought. Great as ever. Cheers
