Following not too distantly in the footsteps of the mounted crossbowmen seen earlier, a five figure stand of mounted Gendarmes moves off the painting desk. Another quintet of fine Foundry heavy cavalry readies to face all-comers.
With this group, five stands of Gendarmes can now muster for battle. That number ought to be sufficient to turn back even the most determined adversary. Besides, that is the last of the Gendarmes in The Lead Pile!
Beautiful work Jonathan, as always. Really nice figures, too.
ReplyDeleteAaron, you are very kind. Thanks!
DeleteGreat looking unit Jonathan! Gendarmes are my favorite looking units of the Italian Wars and Foundry's are great.

Christopher, the Foundry gendarmes are wonderful sculpts as are the Landsknecht foot. This might be the last of the mounted gendarmes needed, though.
DeleteMost impressive Gendarmes, a spectacular unit!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Phil!
DeleteExcellent work!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteGreat looking Gendarmes; reminds me I have a bunch of the Eureka Gendarmes that really should get some paint. Too many competing projects - not that you would know anything about that, eh Jon! :-)
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated, Peter! Too many completing projects; yeah, I know that situation all too well! The situation helps prevent painting boredom and keeps my motivation high.
DeleteReally great Gendarmes - did you back the steel fist kickstarter for the mounted gendarmes?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Oli! I did not participate in the kickstarter but the figures sure look good.
DeleteLovely figures painted to your usual high standard. I look forward to seeing them in an aar!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
I would enjoy seeing these fellas in battle too!
