Finished a batch of club medievals / Wars of the Roses. Andrew acquired a job lot from Ebay and I got lumbered with painting them. All these are Museum Miniatures.
MD10 HYW French Brigans - brigandine, plate, helm
(and yes Pink was an official colour of the time)
MD15 WoR Lancastrian Billmen - HI, chain, plate legs, bill, upright
(given that these chaps are likely to end up as levy I only gave them plate knee protectors)
On the Left - MD05 HYW French Crossbowmen - MI, mail, hauberk, kettle, firing.
On the Right - MD04 HYW Genoese Crossbowmen - LHI, mail, hauberk / brigand, pavase.
It seems that mercenary 'Italian' captains outfitted their troops in their own, preferred, livery but the shields showed their area of origin. In this case it is Asti or Savoy (had I put red on white it might be Genoa, Milan or Padua). Some 'Italian' states had really complex designs that I would not want to try in 15mm.
