And the next new unit is.... a small group of French crossbowmen.
It's a mix of Perry plastics and metals (Italians with headswaps), plus a few Steel Fist torsos with plastic Perry arms.
I only put three of them in the familiar red livery jackets, to give them a bit more of a scruffy / non-uniform feel. These will probably usually represent francs-archers, but could really stand in for any sort of French soldiers with crossbows. Though the French had by the later 15th century adopted the longbow as their primary missile weapon in the north of the country, in the south the crossbow still remained popular, particularly in Gascony.
Wonderful! I love the subtle shading and palette
ReplyDeleteSplendid unit full of character.
