Flag of Pier Giovanpaulo Orsini da Manupello captain General of the Florentine Army in 1440.Many thanks  to Massimo and Carlfor helping me  with this flag



Here's a pic of the original flag ; I quite like the golden armour on the men at arms and will probably use this for the finished Impetus base

  6. Hello Pete,
    Many years ago, I had a 28mm army representing the army of Ceseare Borgia, sadly I sold this and moved on.
    Well as things usually happen I am now starting to begin painting this army again.
    Would it be possible for you to create the flags of the papal army of that period?
    Thanks Robbie, Independentwargamesgroup

  7. Hi Robbie, Borgia flags and some of Cesare's captain's flags are definitely on the agenda but not sure when though.

    cheers Pete
