Burgundian Archers - Perry Miniatures 28mm scale

I recently did a unit of Burgundian pikemen for a client, who then went on to order some archers for the same army.  As with the earlier pikemen, I went for a more-or-less uniform unit - with the classic blue-and-white with red cross of st Andrew.  No command or standard bearer etc.




I used the Wars of the Roses archers / billmen kit, with no real modification required.  Both the French and Burgundian archers of the period were modelled on English ones anyway.  Most of the hose and sleeves (where not in blue/white) were in quite dull colours, to offset the bright main scheme, but I couldn't resist some red ones here and there - medieval man loved his colour!
