Swiss

    More medieval Swiss figures in the popular colors of yellow and black. For the yellow I went for stronger contrast on the yellow choosing two reaper paints sunrise orange for the base coat then using lantern yellow as the main yellow. For the final highlight I just added some white to the mix.

Swiss

    These are the later medieval Swiss that have been painted up on behalf on another individual who will provide his own basing. He requested that I use an unifying theme of black & yellow colors (many swiss indeed wore the multiple colors of black and yellow) so all figures have that representation. I chose the rest of the colors where needed mostly mid earth tones with red, brownish red, and blues included. I do not know who the manufacturers are if any one wishes to know let me know and I will find out. White crosses where often sewn onto the cloth to help distinguish the Swiss from their opponents the Burgundians being one such opponent who chose to use a red inverted cross shaped like an X. Hopefully there will be some inspiration/ideas presented with the pics for any serious collector of this timeframe.
