Finished! Burgundian Ordonnance for ADLG

 

Nearly a year after going down to the local club to see about ADLG ordonnance armies, my one is finally done.

Starting with a selection of mounted and foot knights above, I had visions of playing by Xmas last year 😆, but here's a few snaps of the finished army

Kinda painted various units up in a 'company' colour. This is the blue company - as the only company names I can find for the army are in Russian - so by colour it is. The pavises have decals from Little Big Men Studios.

Green and white company is next and made up enough bases of stakes so that each archer can deploy one.

Blue and white - the iconic scheme for Burgundians on nearly every piece of box art I could find.

Red and blue - could feasibly be used for WoTRs, and finally, A Flemish company contingent in yellow and hired Italian light horse with crossbows.

Have had a nightmare of a time trying to track down 4th Ed. ADLG, with several orders made, only to be told they were out of stock and it was out of print... so why let me order it and list it as in stock???? 😡

This might pose a problem playing a game as I only have 1st Ed, but at least there's enough bases to do two DBA armies of the period 😁 

Burgundian Ordonnance for ADLG

 

To say I'm about half way there after about two months of painting is a bit optimistic. But here's the first stands of Burgundian Ordonnance, based for ADLG. They'll likely be used for French Ordonnance and Wars of the Roses (WotR) as well. 

These are all from Perry Miniature's WotR and 1450 - 1500 Ranges, plastics which come in boxes that just don't stop giving - so many great options and parts.

I've gone for one stand represents an Ordonnance company of that infantry/cavalry type, using 'uniform' sources from Google searches.

Foot Knights

There's four standard foot knight units as dismounted options for their mounted counterparts.

With a couple of Elite foot knight units if there's ever a need, distiguished by their banners. Banners also from the PM sets.

Currours/Coustillers & Light Horse

Can't go wrong using cavalry with lances and the first unit of light cavalry in the form of Italian mercenaries.

Pike

A core of standard pikes with a couple of Burgundian paint jobs and a contingent of pike from Flanders (in yellow livery)

Gunners

Also the first unit of handgunners with a couple more to do along with 4 knights stands, 6 bow, another light horse, some crossbows and bills to finish... almost halfway.
