The first company of the Black Bande using the new standards.

Pete of Pete's Flags fame very kindly created some conjectural company flags for the Italian Black Bande, after the death of Giovanni Medici.
 The companies went into mourning and adopted very sombre attire, coupled with new company flags.
The flags were described as black with devils painted upon them.
Which self respecting wargamer could not resist the chance to adorn their renaissance units with such flags.
Anyway, I held back showing the first company with their new standard until now.
The figures are from Pro Gloria,and are their new arquebusiers, the standard bearer is Foundry.
 Of course I will now have to have more companies, just to fly the extra standards Pete made.

 I deliberately didnt paint the troops in black, as eye witness accounts only mentions sombre colours, with black adornments on their clothing. Strangely enough that also included devils sown onto their clothing. Saying that for the next company I will probably go for mainly black clothing, shades of Quentin Durward.
