| Here's a WIP pic of the Tudor noble standard bearer, the rider's by TAG and the horse is by Eureka. I'm not sure how many nobles I'll give barded horses as I'm unsure to what extent they were used at this date. The little info I have is they didn't have time to get the bards from the baggage train at the Battle of Pinkie so charged without them which suggests they used them at other times. cheers Pete |

Evening Pete,
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful flag. I am running out of superlatives.Do you think I could get away with putting this in an Italian gendarme unit?
Keep up the good work.
Robbie.
Hi Robbie, thanks for the comments on the flag; the flag's taken from the Cowdray mural. Regarding using it for Italian gendarmes you've painted them so it's your choice.

The TAG figure works well on the Eureka horse.
ReplyDeleteBarding was used in this period by the English but rarely, one of the main problems was that the English simply did not have the horses to wear it. This is why they preferred to use Demilancers. It's also why Henry VIII tried, and at times succeeded, to hire numbers of heavy Burgundian and German horsemen for his 1540s campaign in France, to make up for the deficiency in English horseflesh.
Hi Oli, I've decided to put a sprinkling of barded horses in with the nobles as I like them.
