I've added a few more flags to the 16th century English and made a couple of changes to the first flagsheet; the figure is from the excellent Crann Tara garrison troops command pack . there'll be another Elizabethan's Irish Wars flagsheet to do once I decide which ones to paint and I'll probably do a set covering the English commanders at the enterprise of Boulogne. Cheers Pete
Not exactly the Italian Wars but at least the're 16th century. .... I've only got meself to blame for doing these as I've been tempted by Crann Tara's re-release of the Graven images Elizabethans and promising more to come. Thanks to Mr. Oliver Green for sending me some pics of early Irish flags; now I just need to buy some figures and paint a few flags for the English. Does anyone know what Mountjoy's flag may have looke dlike? cheers Pete
I ordered a couple of sample packs of these figures and I'm pretty impressed with them. I'm planning on building a force of Elizabethans to use with the 'To The Banners' rules from Caliver books which for me work well for the mid to later renaissance. Hopefully Crann Tara's planned future releases are as good as those currently available; if so these will be the figures I'll be using
No body really knows what his flags looked like however here's my interpretation of the flags of Giovanni delle Bande Nere. My gut feeling is the yellow and black stripey one is the most likely however the others are based on coats of arms of Giovanni and the Pope. cheers Pete
