From DaveS - The Cream of French Nobility - Death Star - 120 points

The french army is nearly finished.  When I was looking at the next planet in the challenge, I came next to the Deathstar.  Now, when I think of the French Knights, they seem perfect for the theme of Hubris.  Since I needed to paint some anyway, they seemed like the perfect way to continue my journey.

Without delay, I present the unit of French Noble Cavalry.




Like the rest of the army, these are made from the Perry Plastic boxes.  The cream of the army, these were, like most of the Perry models, really fun to assemble and paint.

I have also painted a unit of "Brigans", light infantry with Long Spears.  These are, again Perry plastics



In total, this comes to 

5x28mm Cavalry =50pts

10x28mm Infantry  =50pts

Death Star Challenge Points =20pts


Total of 120 points.

Wonderful work Dave! 'Hubris' and French cavalry (of pretty much any period!) seem to go hand-in-hand. Good one!

    1. It's not based on a historical figure per se. I was reading that gilded armour was a thing, and it seemed like a reasonable way of marking a leader.

  7. Fantastic Frenchmen, Dave. Golden armour seems the very definition of Hubris.
