Title: Spanish
Post by: ducat on April 05, 2014, 03:46:28 PM

Well as there are plenty of adverts for what is coming up from C&C, and anyone who was listening at Salute last year knows what is coming,  I think I should be ok to post something I have been painting up for a while, and have finally finished today - (Ok, the basing needs some tufts etc, but I get those next week at Salute when I find the colours I particularly want)

My Spanish force for Saga/C&C.

Note these are some of the older line of GB figures, I believe (but do not quote me on this as I have no sources) that there are some new lovely figure goodness for the Spanish due from GB, but I may certainly be wrong here.

Onto the pictures -

Whole Army -

Warlords -

Hearthguard - (9 figures as I have one extra as a banner bearer)

Warriors - (1 of my 3 units of mounted)

Hope you enjoy, John.

They look good  8) 8) 8)

But, The two warlords are riding Turkish looking barded mounts, is this deliberate?

I second that, and the colour choice for the army is great.

Fantastic set of units there. I especially like the way you have gone for simple shield designs - I doubt all warriors were Rembrandts back in the day as most sets of shield transfers seem to imply.
