Title: French pikemen 1500
Post by: Christoph on March 22, 2019, 11:18:26 AM
Hello,
french infantry around 1500 is much more difficult to catch then their landsknecht counterparts. Often the french kings used german or swiss soldiers for their wars instead of frenchmen.

And of course it is difficult to get flats for that as well. Here are two to start with. I use figures from the "Battle of Flodden" set which is now available from Frank Dittmar of Schmalkalden.

Hello,
here are the next few. On some of the figures I painted a white cross. This is the cross of St. Denis which was used by the french as a field sign.
