Need the right figure for my En Garde warband
« on: 04 August 2016, 03:09:00 PM »
I am doing an En Garde War Band based on the Captain Alatriste novels.  I would love to find a figure that could represent his friend Francisco de Quevedo

 
He's a fairly distinctive looking fellowshow here in a contemporary portrait and as he was realized in the Movie Alatriste

I feel the eye glasses and beard/mustache are the key elements. 

Any one have any suggestion

There were a set of figures released a while ago......

I know Brother Vinni has Alatriste figure but that's the only one I know of.

While I couldn't find a match for the priest a couple of years ago, you might take a look at Tercio Creativo and Helldorado miniatures for your project.

It would be nice to see an Alatriste themed set of minis. The Tercio Creativo Alatriste fig for their 1650 game was nice and simple but the later ones started to go comic book style over the top.

Javiko studios did a gorgeous 30mm Alatriste but despite several tries I never could successfully order it. That would be a great one to find in someone's lead mountain.

Both are good suggestions and will help with some other members of the war band I don't think any work for Quevedo but thank you for the suggestion

To find the figure may be a challenge but a suitable head is maybe this one (figure on the right)

Helldorado are a bit all over, ranging from 28mm to 32mm. Rank and file usually smaller than character models.
