I couldn't work out what time scale he was looking at for the Burgundian barded horses and was a little afraid he might go for the Ceresole time frame like he has with the Valois French.Bedfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04363108327445559579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819465537498177551.post-71503623714995937972022-02-24T12:20:12.462-08:002022-02-24T12:20:12.462-08:00No worries Darrell, yes I have had a bit of corres...No worries Darrell, yes I have had a bit of correspondence with Pete and I think he plans to release some early Maximilian style cavalry to go with the early Landsknecht (which by the way are perfect figures for the Landsknecht Maximilian sent to Cerignola - but sadly not so much for Ravenna, those fashions changed pretty quickly!). I think he probably means the Bards for them.<br /><br />Cheers<br />OliOlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06796318659076787601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819465537498177551.post-66711425186153249622022-02-24T02:01:24.996-08:002022-02-24T02:01:24.996-08:00Thanks Oli.

I did have a word with Pete at TAG and he said that late this year they will be releasing some "Horses with Burgundian Bards", though I'm not quite sure what he means. <br /><br />Either way, I'll let you know.<br /><br />Cheers mate.Bedfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04363108327445559579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819465537498177551.post-17807506513178869252022-02-23T11:55:03.710-08:002022-02-23T11:55:03.710-08:00Hi Darrell, I hope you are doing well mate.
I kno...Hi Darrell, I hope you are doing well mate.<br /><br />I know what you mean about the barding, I agree the Foundry style bard with their Gendarmes is a little too late for 1503, although by Ravenna would probably be ok. Interestingly having watched this during lockdown, https://www.facebook.com/loricaclothing/videos/steeds-of-steel-armored-horses-of-medieval-renaissance-europe/965840287167859/ I am now convinced that the Foundry style of bard would have been hardened leather rather than of steel. The lacing and style of bard seems to indicate this, which is annoying as I painted a fair few of mine as if they were made of steel!<br /><br />Some of the Eureka barded horses may suit but they are really small minis, most are certainly for a bit later and I am not sure they would fit.<br /><br />Have you tried fitting them onto the plastic Perry horses. I know they are massive but that may work as the plastic can be cut to fit the Gendarmes.<br /><br />The ones from Lancashire games look like they could work, the only other option I can think of at the mo is these: https://www.bicorne.net/acatalog/CON-H015---16th-Cent.-walking-in-plate-bard-1720.html#SID=164 but they don't look like great sculpts!<br /><br />Let me know what you decide to go with, I look forward to seeing the resulting unit as I am sure they will look superb!<br /><br />Cheers<br />OliOlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06796318659076787601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819465537498177551.post-70909015204351313262022-02-23T04:35:09.662-08:002022-02-23T04:35:09.662-08:00Hi Oli,

I have the TAG Gendarmes but I was trying to at least giving the front ranks of 12 (so six in the front ranks) some kind of barding. The only barded horse miniatures I have ben able to find where the TAG mini's fit neatly are the old Venexia Condotta range now sold by Lancashire Games- link below. <br /><br />These seem a little too early but they are the best I've found thus far. I think the Foundry Barded Horses of the period are too late for my needs. What do you think?<br /><br />https://www.lancashiregames.com/lg/28mm-italian-wars.htmlBedfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04363108327445559579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819465537498177551.post-53364675089491144672013-12-31T04:21:55.025-08:002013-12-31T04:21:55.025-08:00Did the Spanish had Gendarmes too ?
