As with the Mk 1 Burgundian Pikeblock I´ve haven´t entirely stuck to the the Livery colour combination of white on the right and blue on the left but mixed it, blue on right and White on left as it looked less uniformed and, as with the first block, I got bored painting them all the same :-D
This lot, 48 bods in total, are a mix of 4 manufacturers and 9 sets.
Ultima Ratio´s Swiss Infantry (Uri) and Swiss Infantry (Bern)
RedBox´s Burgundian Infantry and Knights (Set 1)) and Burgundian Infantry and Knights (Set 2)
Minart´s Swiss Infantry. Strangely, although the sprues are only a few years old the plastic has gone brittle, only half a dozen survived the process of being removed from the sprues and having wire pikes added.
RedBox´s Hussite Infantry, Town & County Levy, Men-at-Arms and Retinue and Continental Mercenaries
Flags are from Dansk Figursspilforening
Any bods carrying a pike (or I wanted a pike instead of a halberd) had it replaced with one made from Florist wire. A few head swops, the bugler from the RedBox Men-at-Arms and Retinue set had his arm repositioned and all but one of the Bannerols (the Little pennons attached to thier helmets) were removed from the RedBox Burgundian Infantry and Knights (Set 1)) and Burgundian Infantry and Knights (Set 2)
Both Burgundian pikeblocks together, Mk1 being entirely made up from Minart´s Swiss infantry set
A swiss Pikeblock is in the making and a Mk2 Swiss pikeblock in the planning stage.
