I'll second "Mercenaries and their Masters" by Michael Mallett. It's an excellent work. I don't think it will be too useful as a painting guide, but it explains organization, and the types of units/troops employed, which should be inspirational. (It was to me)

link Good book on the rivalry between Malatesta and Montefeltro link link Osprey's contribution is a nice overview of the Condottiere era to include tactics and administration. link I really enjoy this book. Each chapter is devoted to a single Condottieri. link The book claims not to be a military history but that's exactly what it is with some art history sprinkled in. The author is a descendant of one of the battle's participants. Excellent overview of the conflict between the two city states. link Another interesting read, this focuses on the Borgia family.
