Smashing stuff Ru  :-* :-* :-*

Coming out really good!

Well done!  :-*

Looking good Gary.
Copplestone sculpts - the last ones he ever did for Foundry IIRC - you can’t beat them.


Thanks for the kind comments.

Great looking units! (Must not get distracted!)

Distracted...by shiny things... a new period....why not.  That's how I got started.  :D :D

Aren't the flags upside down???

BTW, do TAG and Foundry mix up well? I've never seen a comparison pic...

In other order of things: great painting! Hope you get some "french" rivals in the area (or enough patience to build your own french army)

Upside down flags - Oops.  Thanks - well spotted.  I'll make some adjustments later.

Comparison - I'll be putting up some pics of the TAG Spanish Pike shortly and you can judge if they match well.

French - My regular war gaming opponent is covering off the French and we'll both be adding some Italians to our forces.

Another unit of Spanish infantry for the Italian Wars.  This time a pike unit, TAG miniatures and Pete's Flags banner (this time the right way up). 



The tag figures are much smaller then the Foundry Conquistador.  I'll show a comparison in the next post, when I attempt to put the whole lot into a Colunella.

Great stuff  :-* :-* :-*

Good to see this project getting bigger  8)

I find that the TAG mini's fit really well with the Perry European Mercenaries stuff, although their armours are from a little later. Less so with the bulkier Foundry sculpts- which are great in their own right.

Sumptuous!  :-*

I'd be interested in seeing the size comparison. Sometimes I think we put too much importance in making sure all the figures are the same height. That isn't the norm in real life.
