Well I finally managed to complete my El Cid project. In this quarantined time, I have taken up playing DBA. Mostly solitude but also over Facetime. The small armies needed for this game was just the right motivation for my El Cid project.

I have used some of the advice given earlier. Mainly in form of beards for some of the knights. I wanted to try making robes, but the mail armor on the Conquest knights is not thick enough to have the robe under. If I had made robes under the mail it would have looked thicker than the mail.

I see many Spanish Knight units in uniformed red and yellow colors. However, I like a more varied look, and always though medieval Spain completely overrun with lesser nobles, so lots of color seem more appropriate.

Except for the crossbows and a single archer, every model is from Conquests Norman range.

With the army finished, I am going to start on a muslin adversary. I will order a box of Gripping Beast Arab Spearmen and Light Cavalry to night. That will give my enough models.
