I just recently received some pictures from Sijie Hao showing the next set of Pavia Commanders that he has painted for me. They are currently being shipped. This post is just a short one to show the latest pictures.
The second set includes:
- Georg von Frundsburg
- Marx Sittich von Ems
- Ferrante Kastriota, Marquis Civita Sant’Angelo
- Robert de la Marck, Seigneur de Fleuranges
- Guillaume Gouffier, seigneur Bonnivet, Admiral of France.
The next image shows the command bases of Fleuranges on the left and Bonnivet on the right. I just love the painting of both the figures and the flags on these bases.
The next bases are the commanders of Imperial Landsknechts. The Landsknechts took the field in two pike blocks of around 3500 men in each. One of these pike blocks was commanded by Marx Stitch von Ems and the other one was commanded by Georg von Frundsburg. There were also many Landsknecht arquebusiers that operated independently of the pike blocks. The picture below shows the flag bearer of Marx Stitch on the left and then von Frundsburg and his flag bearer in the centre. The figure on the right is Sant’Angelo.
Von Frundsburg is painted as he appears in many images with the red and white sash across his chest.
The image below shows a close up of Marx Sittich with his flag bearer behind. The flag pole draped over his shoulder is a great touch.
Below are a couple of additional close ups of Fleuranges and Bonnivet
These are the latest Pavia Commanders. I still have additional commanders that Sijie is painting. While Sijie has been progressing these figures, I have been working on the buildings for Pavia and an additional 144 figure Landsknecht pike block. I hope to post pictures of both very soon.
