Medieval French 
DBM Army List Book 4, List 64 
ca. 1400 A.D.

In the summer of 2005 I picked up a Medieval French army from a friend who was liquidating a few armies. How could I turn down a price of $1.00/stand (yes, that's per STAND). They were based on magnetic strips, which in some case were bending up around some edge. I decided to rebase them on metal and experiment with a new technique (described at Experiment in Basing).

Here we have a smattering of French foot: Ps(S) on the left, then some dismounted Men at Arms (Bd(S)), archers (Bw(I)), and Ax(X).

 

Of course the real reason to pick Medieval French is for the abundant Kn(S). Bulked up by the abundant cheap foot in the army they are most formidable in a head on charge.
