I Polli Combattenti - A Bradford City flavoured Pike Block


In September 1525 Bradford City were away at Padua in the Inter Toto Cup, unfortunately Derek the wagon train driver was accidentally killed in a argument over the correct wine ro have with Fish and Chips and there were over 600 people unable to make it home. What else to do but become Condottieri, grab some "Big Stix" (real Bradford City in joke 😁) and fight your way home.

May I present "I polli combattenti" my latest Italian Wars Pike Block, totally historically accurate celebrating Bradford City promotion to League 1 in 1525, sorry 2025

Each of the figures is painted in a different historical kit from the clubs long history, I'll add some shot (dedicated to the clubs best strikers soon), next up some AWI American Cavalry
