So, are the Minarion Legion one finished and will be a available in 28mm...or only 1/72? Maybe a daft question , but can the Legion flags you've down be resized or do they need to be down again?

Happy W

Yes ill look at getting them sized to 28mm. Ill drop you a mail.

Excellent work. It is a silly questions but I am wondering why some of them have hex bases?

I do that with Command figures just so that they stand out more. No other reason than that.

White Chevrons, indicate a Falangista who has frontline fighting experience, you can mix in militia type figures as well, just rememeber to give them the Camisas Azules  ;)
To add a bit of flavour, you could include auxlillaries from the Sección Femenina, in the shape of some nurses.
In 1937 the Falange and Carlist requites were joined together, the uniform for this newly created FET y de las JONS, was the Falange blue shirt, and the Carlist red beret.
Remember to sing Cara Al Sol, when you deploy them for battle lol

Nice painting.

I'd have to confer with your associates, but I do suspect that your singing 'Cara al sol' while wearing the 'Yellow Shorts of Battle', could be a potent deterrent to the spread of neo-fascism.

Just make sure you don't have purple socks on, otherwise you could be accused of being a Republican 5th columnist  ;)

None of the flags i have done are Legion. At the moment it's generic stuff but ill be expanding with more detailed stuff as i have a ridiculous amount of stuff in the research folder. Ive done some Legion ones for Minarions that i still need to put on the site.

Amazing job, Iain! Congrats :)

About the Legion flags: those that Iain designed and printed for us Minairons are 1:100th scale, with a prospective to be comissioned at 1:72nd scale too. We hold no aims to intrude into 1:56th, because Iain has already a lot of work already done in this scale under Flags of War name.



As a consequence, we'd have no inconvenience at Iain deciding to re-scale that particular sheet into 1:56th under his own brand name. He can freely do so if wished --we'd only ask to be acknowledged before, that's all.

Regards,
Lluís
