Here two Tlacochcalcatl:

The white, Codex Mendoza, with the explications of Chronofus

The Black, paint of Osprey. No trace in a codex but the banner does.
The Lienzo de Quauhquechollan shows us the banners of:
Papalotl, Xopolli, Quaxalotl, Momoyactli, Copilli, Xacalli, Patzactli, Bird ans others

Very nice.

Have you seen any of this guy's videos?


He's done a few on Aztecs, all very interesting and well put together.

Good evening Milphil,
Attractive but far too much error! Please, read the work of "Chronofus" or the book of Osprey collection "Army of the 16th century, armies of the Aztecs...........", and you will understand.
Nevertheless, I thank you for your help!

If they look good, which they do, and you're having fun I don't think it matters.

I would read those but I'm working on Mayans...

Mayan!!!!
Yes me too! But it's more difficult to work on the mayan army than an aztec army!
For 1480/1510 AC, for the moment I don't found any mayan codex.
I work with  Mayan Eureka Miniature..

And I work on Huaxtec army, but information are difficult too!

[6milPhil]

Well in one way it's difficult, but as there's no hard and fast reference its also easier.

I have the Eureka sacrifice set, this Salute 2012 mini ( not my paint job);


and the Gringo40's - http://www.gringo40s.com/mayan.html -


which I really like, not least because they've definately got the Maya nose...
