I took a few pictures of my work. Since they are painted for a bigger diorama, my focus is not on the most detailed paintwork but on the number of figures I can do for each side.
I use all the common plastic and metal figure manufacturer.
Books and internet sides make it easy to find out, which Swiss cantons sent what type of soldiers and how many. I try to match those numbers proportionally. In this case, the city of Bern and Zurich sent most soldiers and had not only pole weapons but also guns.
Even the Johanniterorden (Saint John) sent a group to help the Swiss. I used the figures of the regular available German Knights and changed the helmets to bring them up to 1476.
The Burgundian troops were counted as Lances. At the time a lance had a heavy knight, a mounted soldier with a lance, three mounted archers, a crossbowman, an arquebusier, a pikeman and a page.
No war without a villain. Charles the Bold. He is known to have a golden suit of armor and according to Dr. Toby Capwell, if you had that much money to buy a gold plated suit, you were wearing it into battle.
Not only Swiss soldiers fought at Morat against the Burgundian but German cities and even Habsburg sent some soldiers. This is actually the reason, the Swiss had mounted soldiers on their side.
It is not so easy to find a lot of different figures from that time and I have to compromise. Also I started to cut the figures and change them a little bit. Of course there is also the possibility of sculpting but I don't have the patience for that.
