For sale : AdG 231 Hundred Years War Burgundians (1400-1450)

This is a 200 pt army for Art de la Guerre.

There are in all 95 Foot, 17 Cavalry and 2 Guns, plus a camp and fortifications which I'll throw in for free.

Painting is to a decent standard for foot and quite elaborate for the cavalry, so I consider the Foot at €1,50  ;  Cavalry and Guns at €3,00

So asking price is 200 euros, plus postage.

 

In more detail, the army weighs in at 199 pts, which can be adjusted with various options as follows :

-  Flemish Crossbow : render them Mediocre (-8 pts)

-  Make the Valets d'Armes Heavy Cavalry (+2 pts)

-  Make the Burgundian Knights Elite (+4 pts)

-  Fortify the camp (+6 pts)

The armour makes it an army appropriate for the period around 1400-1450.  If you play before 1430 (according to the army list), you will have to remove the Light Artillery (-6 pts).  The army list rates Flemish infantry as "Spearmen" before 1450, but that it a truly odd choice, they had been using pikes for over a century already.  I use pike-armed figures, but rate them as the list does and just assume it represents a lack of training, discipline, enthusiasm or cohesion.

All figures are Essex Miniatures.

All bases are magnetised. Heavy infantry is on a 40mm x 40mm base, the Flemish Pike deeper, cavalry on 40 x 30mm.

Distance-weapon armed infantry are 5 per base, as I prefer the look of two staggered lines rather than the second line seeming to shoot the front line in the back of the head !

The camp is on a 120mm x 80mm bases; the fortifications are 40mm lengths.

Knights banners are generally paper, but some are hand-painted metal.

Yes, those recurring Burgundian flags and motifs are all hand painted...still having nightmares about it...

 The Camp

Camp (0 pts)

Option : Fortified (+6 pts)

The camp represents the Count of Charolais (the Duke's son) leading a religious procession to watch a staged duel between Burgundian knights and a mean-looking Turk.  In the procession are high-ranking nobles disguised as fantastical creatures (from some fantasy range I have forgotten the name of), no doubt chanting psalms as they advance behind their leader.  Various townsfolk and peasants look on in wonder.
