28mm Wars of the Roses – Billmen (4)

 

Three units of billmen using the same plastic Perry box (the Archers box) but with the bill arms. Green and black livery.

28mm SYW French Infantry: IR86 Comte de La Marche (AKA La Marche-Prince)

A one-battalion regiment owned by the Louis-François-Joseph de Bourbon-Conti, Comte de La Marche who was the son of Louis-François de Bourbon, Prince the Conti, who, incidentally owned regiment IR 97. The Bourbon-Contis were a junior branch of the Bourbons. I have used the Conti livery for the drummer – buff with blue cuffs.

The lovely flags were by David Morfitt from his blog Not be Appointment.
