Swiss Militia Pikemen (Canton Uri)

on Sketchfab
Swiss militias are recruited in local cantons, and contemporary illustrations show them in their colours: Uri, whose symbol is a black bull’s head on a yellow field, dresses them in black and yellow.
They march with their pikes ready to be lowered and without any protection. This should be viewed as normal: Swiss militias relied on training as well as ease of movement: pikemen were supposed to run fast in battle, countering with their speed any possible harassment from skirmishers. Pike militias were quite common in the Alpine range during all the XV century.
The model is mainly a combination of work made by the mod team and some OSP pack developed for Mount & Blade Warband.
