Chichimec army for DBA

[Kaiphranos]

I've been working on a Chichimec army in 20mm plastic as opponents for my Aztecs and Conquistadors. A no-prize for anyone who recognizes the origins of the figures. 



(Some additional pictures and writeup on my blog)

Very nice army. Well painted.

[Tom Dulski]

 agreed and nice basing too

Have to agree in regards to the basing- what is your recipe, if you don’t mind my asking?
Beautiful painting as well by the way

Unfortunately, the most important element is road sand from Nova Scotia, handed off from a friend many years ago now - I am starting to run low and I don't know what I'll do for a replacement! 😅 Then I have some patches of Woodland Scenics fine ballast (mostly brown with just a pinch of gray) and Army Painter tufts (mostly "winter" variety but with a few brighter green or brown and yellow ones mixed in).

Very nice!!
 
Are these based on Caesar's Libyans (and or Nubians)? Do I get a no-prize? 

[Kaiphranos]

They are, and you do! Yes, they all started life as Libyans - plus or minus a cloak here and there, and with hairstyles somewhat altered by greenstuff.

Good to know- looks like I won’t be copying you anytime soon then!
