From KenR : Please, not more Gendarme ! (65 Points)


A week can't go by without an Italian Wars Cavalry unit and this week is no different. Here we have Gendarme number 4 of the challenge (stop snoring at the back 😂).


Nothing new with these, 28mm Foundry Figures with Petes Flags. Not a specific family or Condottiero unit but a Papal Gendarme unit with flags from Julius II.




So points wise we have 6 x 28mm Cavalry at 10 a piece and a couple of flags at a point apiece for 62 points for both the main total and the Renaissance Side Duel. It would be rude not to include a group shot of the Gendarme collection to date.


Just one more Gendarme unit to do before the end of the challenge so next week I will be back on the Stradiots.



Snoring in the face of such quality would be blasphemy (and I'd have to get the Priest from your last entry to have a word with anyone who transgressed!!). I continue to be amazed by your work...and then you post that last picture. These are going to look utterly awesome on the games table and I'm sure I'm not the only wargamer tinged with a little green right now. 

As you say 60 points for the cavalry, 2 for the flags and I'm throwing in a couple extra for quality and one more for dedication to a theme bringing this entry up to 65 Points.

  1. Never bored with your fantastic Italian Wars output.
    Can you be a hero and put a link up to Petes Flags, all the ones I find are broken.

    1. Hi Scrivs, I don't think there is a website, at least not one I have found. I get them from eBay. Below is a link to one of his current sales.

  2. I don't think you can have too many Gendarmes, especially when painted like this. Keep 'em coming!
