Gilder Burgundians.

 I have now completed the re basing of the crossbowmen that I bought from Tony Runkee of Hinchliffe fame. These figures once belonged to the late great Peter Gilder and are well over thirty years old. I love them. I couldnt bring myself to replace the Burgundian banner painted by Tony, somehow it would be sacrilegious and somehow the naivety of the banner adds to the unit for me.
 I did however put them on new bases to make them fit in with my armies. I shall use them as French mercenaries for my Italian wars. I may even showcase these at the show at Stockton at the end of this month. No doubt someone will point out the fact that they are decked out as Burgundians, but hey ho.

    1. I hope you are talking about the figures Colin, because Ive never been described as classy unfortunately.
