First gendarmes

 A bit of a learning curve here, especially as I'm mixing Perry plastics with Old Glory metals, which in retrospect was perhaps a poor decision. Nevertheless, I think I'm on a path to making it work. The flag is a painted-over Perry from the men-at-arms box insert; the Swiss side's cavalry at Novara were Milanese, so I gave them that flag even though these test models will probably not be the exact 8 minis I use for that unit in the battle.

Swiss artillery, more or less

 Still stalling on the cavalry, so I finished what I'll be using for the one light gun the Swiss will be fielding at Novara. I'm trying to complete this project without too many additional purchases, so this is just a TAG Cossack gun with a crew of lightly converted Perry WotR laborers.
