From KenR - 28mm Italian Wars Mounted Crossbow (60 Points)

Another little mini entry this week to keep the scoreboard ticking over whilst the Papal Pike Block grows off screen, a unit I hope to have done next week.

A little bit more subtle this week after the glorious colour and excitement of last weeks Gendarme we have a unit with a bit less glamour, a unit of 28mm Mounted Crossbow.

6 figures again, these are Perry's Miniatures but rather than coming from the plastic box set these are metal figures on plastic horses (which are bought separately). So that's 6 x 28mm Cavalry at 10 pts a piece for a comfortable 60 points.

Pretty pleased I have been keeping to my one unit of Cavalry per week as it's keeping my total moving, next week I have the next unit of Gendarme lined up it won't be long before some Italian Wars gaming can commence.

Once again a lovely unit of mounted troops. I'm going to show my ignorance of the period now... so I assume these guys dismounted to shoot, because I'd imagine reloading a crossbow from the saddle would be more than a bit tricky? Very nice work of these by the way. Its nice that they are all unique individuals but the colour palette brings them all together and makes them feel like a cohesive unit. A nice solid 60 points will indeed keep the points ticking over. 

I'm look forward to seeing all your Italian Wars stuff in a group shot at some point (hint hint).
