They're planned to go on ebay at the weekend. A couple of pics to whet any appetites (I have taken more pictures for the ebay sale - I'm yet to photograph the Swiss.). Below is the draft entry for the sale. Should anyone here be interested, then I'd be happy to discuss further. My email for this is simon.chick@tesco.net I've added new flags to all the men at arms.
Note that these figures need to be collected/handed over - they will not stand a postal journey!
A
complete 28mm army of Charles the Bold’s Burgundian Ordonnance, for his battles
and campaigns from 1465 to 1477.
All figures have been painted by me and
collected over a number of years. Elements of this army have featured in
photographs in ‘Wargames Illustrated ‘ magazine. Figures are from Wargames Foundry/Citadel and
designed by Alan and Michael Perry. They are painted and based to a high
collectors standard and mounted on plasticard or plywood. Flags are a mix of
printed or hand painted.
This is a unique collection, which is being
sold to fund other historical-related interests. The opening bid price
represents an average cost of less than £3.00 per figure and less than £5.00
per mounted figure.
The army comprises of:
2 command bases, representing the Duke of
Burgundy and Antony Bastard of Burgundy, with mounted men at arms (total of 8 mounted and 2
foot figures)
12 bases of mounted Men at Arms/Gendarmes
(total of 70 riders & horses)
8 bases of pikemen, comprising 2 units
(total 72 figures)
6 bases of longbowmen (total 64 figures)
2 bases of handgunners (total 11 figures)
3 bases of crossbowmen (total 30 figures)
4 bases of halbardiers (total 24 figures)
1 base of dismounted men at arms (total 11
figures)
6 bases of wheeled artillery with crew
2 bases of siege bombards with crew - plus 2
swinging mantlets and 600mm of wooden siege defenses.
3 vignettes.
Total of 78 mounted figures and 212 on
foot (exc artillery crews).
All bases are 100mm wide, with varying
depths dependent on the types of figures. This is ideal for rules such as
‘Impetus’, but they could easily be rebased for other rulesets.
IMPORTANT
- PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS COLLECTION NEEDS TO BE COLLECTED BY THE BUYER!!
This collection is not going to withstand
the vagaries of the postal system and would most likely suffer damage.
Therefore the agreed sale is on the basis that THE BUYER COLLECTS (from NN7 in
UK) or I will travel up to 50 miles from NN7 to meet and hand-over the figures
at a mutually convenient date. Consequently I regret that I cannot offer this sale
to non-UK buyers.

A bargain if there ever was one....
Simon, you should show some close ups on the mini's or post up a link to them- I find that this always helps with a sale.
