My first thought is
https://1stcorps.co.uk/product-category/medieval/peasants-camp-followers/

The shields in the second pack are a little late for you, but probably convertable/disguise-able.

My second thought is Front Rank:

excellent carts and loose bits of baggage.

All my subsequent thoughts  :) tend to the Perry’s Agincurt range, again late for what you’re doing but there’s some suitable figures/easily convertable in there.

If it isn't enjoyable, it isn't gaming!

Thanks mate, I'd actually forgotten about the 1st Corp camp models! They will be pressed into service at some point!!

Yeah, I was contemplating using them but with all the tack etc being too late for the 11th Century I'd given up on the idea- then I noticed this on the front Rank site which makes the carts very usable!:


All my subsequent thoughts  :) tend to the Perry’s Agincurt range, again late for what you’re doing but there’s some suitable figures/easily convertable in there.

I'm kind of saving all the Perry 15th Century carts for a project to follow on from the Reconquista so I'm keeping them all in their boxes for now ;) :)

Thanks for taking time out to make the suggestions- they have been of help :)

Wow! They are great. I'll be buying some of those too then!

BTW, is the dead Norman warrior in the cart from Conquest Games? If so do you know if it's possible to buy a sprue with him on?

With Colonel Bill's stuff, it's a mix and Match, so all units are sold separately as well all in a kit.

Not sure if conquest fig is on a sprue on his own. Foundry may do casualties.

I'll catch him at a show soon and see what he's got on offer.

I don't think they do any Norman (stuff that could be used as Christian Spanish) with the possible exception of some of the Viking Casualties which could, if push comes to shove, be converted.

I thought mine were Foundry, they are Perry's metal, Christian casualties (CU29 is the code) and Muslim (MA30)

Ah.... I've got the two codes and unfortunately they are both spoken for in various units etc.

I do need to find more dead Spanish Christians 'Moors'!! Models that is!

Reconquista at Partizan 2020, Andalusian Noble Cavalry- Update Page 3
« Reply #38 on: January 18, 2020, 11:11:20 AM »
I had wanted to post up the pics of the Andalusian Noble Cavalry here yesterday but they were delayed as I had entered the Analogue Painting Challenge (I'll leave a link to that page link later) as I have to wait until the next day before posting.

After my hiatus from painting I'm beginning to find my feet again, so's to speak with the brush and get into the habit of picking the right hues etc.

More pics and information on the game, the hows and whys of painting etc can be found on my blog here:
http://justaddwater-bedford.blogspot.com/2020/01/reconquista-at-partizan-2020-andalusian.html

So, I present- Andalusian Noble Cavalry:






Cheers

You've got to have a "Cid" for this time period. lol lol

The Cid is sticking this one out but his son Diego Rodriguez will be present.

I'll give  you a penny if you can guess the battle?

Would it be his last one, Consuegra?
