link It took a while to get this unit finished but then there are 60 28mm figures, flags and some swanky basing ! 28mm Italian Wars Perrys Miniatures done as a Pike Block of the Papal variety, Julius II to be exact or Rex Harrison if your of a certain age ! Stuff is flying off the paint table at the moment so I am taking advantage of the enthusiasm and cracking on with stuff so there are another 6 Gendarme to add the collection. Bags more photos and details on t'blog. Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer

Whitphoto, if I bought a Papal Pike Block with PayPal, that would be confusing. Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer

Very impressive.

Very nice looking figures. It looks like both of our painting tables are full of Italian Wars figures. I am desperately trying to get 500 figures and scenery ready for a club game in April/May. Your painting is inspiring me.

Nicely painted but the bases look like rock shale or mud flats. Maybe a bit more green or shrubbery?

…bases look like rock shale or mud flats. Dry Italian summer?

Super work, Ken!

Cheers all, As for the basing it's all a matter of taste. Any nice green field ain't nice and green anymore after an Army has passed over it. If you Google Tuscan Fields in Winter you get a mass of colours. The basing style is one I have used for years and is detailed on the blog ad finitum after nearly 40 years painting figs I'm happy.
