You want what making ?

[Leon]

If you are referring to the elite chasseurs and elite hussars, there is no need for command. I would make separate elite cavalry packs as you do for the elite infantry. There was one elite company per regiment, but there were of course many regiments. I would buy elite packs of the same size as for other cavalry packs.

With the infantry Elites, they come in packs of 15 foot + 1 sergeant-type figure, so would the Elite cavalry need a corresponding command chap, and could something already in the ranges be used?

Probably not worth the effort, Leon. The elites formed one company, i.e. half a squadron or one eighth of a regiment, in most people's organisation probably two or three figures at most.

My regiments at 1:50 only need one figure, which is why I've been happy to DIY. However if you want to produce them, colpack busbies were favoured by all officers.

Things 'wot I are making' at the moment.....If I can remember how to use photobucket ! (Good grief...I can !!)



English command for Flodden.



Scots command for Flodden.



Scots style gunners



James IV Wip.....(The tear in his surcoat has been 'invisibly repaired' and the helm put on the base now.



Thomas Howard Wip....Some neatening and cleaning done since I took the pic.



Early shot of James on horseback.....Nearly finished now.

The yellow screwdriver in the first couple of photo's is there just to help me focus quickly...(Cos I'm a lazy oik)..Before anyone asks
The poles for the standards have been left deliberately that long so they (hopefully) can be used for small or huge banners....Depends on how long Dave can get them to cast !!

Cheers - Phil.

Phil,

These are spectacular!

Damn! Another new period to try and resist!

Lovely stuff. Pretty sure that, if I don't succumb to full Flodden era armies, some of those are going to appear in my Warmaster Empire Army.

That's an idea. I might resist resisting and do that. Would bills, pikes, and halberds be appropriate for Empire inf?

[kev1964]

Stunning Techno, really excellent sculpts,  i can see some of these coming to me,

Really excellent, Phil. Particularly the mounted figure. 

Would bills, pikes, and halberds be appropriate for Empire inf?

Possibly not bills, Michael. They seem to have been a peculiarly English innovation, but certainly pikes and halberds. Might be useful for providing alternative poses for the existing late medieval/early renaissance ranges.

I've never felt terribly constrained by GW's background fluff and practically there's not too much difference between a bill and a halberd - they're basically sharp and spiky bits on a pole

Strictly speaking pikes are a Dogs of War weapon but again it's a spiky bit on a pole. This is fantasy not history and fantasy sources are pretty hazy on the differences between weapons.

My, nominally, Empire Army is actually the Great Crusade of Marienburg an entirely non-canononical formation supposedly comprised of the worst elements of historical crusading armies and lead by the Inquisitor General of Marienburg.

Please STOP, all this stuff I want and can't afford

Thank you for the kind words Guys....I'm genuinely chuffed you like them !
Warmaster ?....I would have thought they would be absolutely fine for that......And there's still oodles and oodles to do for this particular project.
Cheers - Phil (I might even have a go at painting James on horseback......'Bout time I painted something again !)

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Superb Phil, really great work!

They really ARE superb, Phil. "Oodles" sounds like I might have something to reinforce my Pendraken Landsknecht 'Empire' pikemen.

I have a soft spot for our king James, a true Renaissance prince. Shame a English pointy bit found his soft spot. For Flodden are you doing him dismounted with pike?

[Techno]

One of the few things that's NOT on the list, Michael. (At least not at the moment !)
Cheers - Phil.

[fsn]

*tut* There's always someone who has to spoil it for everyone isn't there? *tut*

[fred.]

They look fantastic - they will be adding to my Empire army before too long 

[TinyTerrain]

Bloody lovely, are these being made for general release at some point in the future?

Cheers,

Craig

[Techno]

Errrrr.....I'm not totally sure Craig.....The Dark Lord is the one you'll need to ask about that.
Thanks again for the nice comments chaps.....Much appreciated.
Cheers - Phil
