Making their way of the "workbench" are six command stands that I've just painted for the Great Italian Wars.
 |
| The main figure is from Warlord Games and sold as Gaston de Foix. |
 |
| The standard bearer is from out of the Perry Miniatures plastic sets. The flag is from Pete's Flags. |
 |
| The main, mounted figure is another Warlord Games miniature. This one is sold as Giovanni de Medici. |
 |
| Another one of Pete's Flags, |
 |
| Both models are from Perry Miniatures. The main character being metal and the standard bearer plastic. |
 |
| The commander carries one of the emblems of the Sforza family. Hence the Sforza/Milan flag from Pete's Flags. |
 |
| Both models are from Perry's and the banner from Pete's Flag. The main character is metal. |
 |
| The standard bearer is plastic. |
 |
| Both models are metal Perry Miniatures with the banner from Pete's Flags. |
 |
| The flag is one that may have used by El Gran Capitan. |
 |
The mounted commander is from Warlord Games and sold as Bartolomeo d'Alviano. The standard bearer is a plastic one from Perry Miniatures.
|
 |
| The banner is a Venetian one and, I believe, comes from Battle Flags. |
That was probably an unnecessary amount of photos bearing in mind the actual number of figures shown.
While I still ponder on my remote FPW rules, I'll be moving some 6mm MDF French Revolutionary Wars cavalry onto the painting table.
These are fantastic, of course! The flags are great - It really is the most colourful period, isn't it? If only I could paint anywhere near well enough...
ReplyDeleteThank you, David.
DeleteFantastic, indeed! Not only has your gaming picked up in 2026 but so has your painting. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jonathan. My gaming is up, not sure my painting numbers stack up though. Nonetheless, I am content.
DeleteAwesome work on command bases sir!
ReplyDeleteKind of you to say so, Michal.

ReplyDeleteThank you for your compliment, OB.
DeleteLovely looking command stands and no complaints from me on the number of photos, how many command stands do you envisage per army?
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thank you, Iain. I'm thinking three per army to correspond with the divisions of the forces - avant garde, battaille and rear guard. I may yet do a fourth as an army commander.
DeleteBeautiful painting, wonderful basing and beaut flags!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes, James
Very kind words, James.
