Raglan's Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire
« on: September 11, 2022, 11:59:10 AM »


The Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, also known as the Conquest of Mexico or the Spanish-Aztec War (1519–21), was one of the primary events in the Spanish colonization of the Americas. There are multiple 16th-century narratives of the events by Spanish conquistadors, their indigenous allies, and the defeated Aztecs. It was not solely a contest between a small contingent of Spaniards defeating the Aztec Empire but rather the creation of a coalition of Spanish invaders with tributaries to the Aztecs, and most especially the Aztecs' indigenous enemies and rivals. They combined forces to defeat the Mexica of Tenochtitlan over a two-year period. For the Spanish, the expedition to Mexico was part of a project of Spanish colonization of the New World after twenty-five years of permanent Spanish settlement and further exploration in the Caribbean.

Spanish Conquistadors - ready to explore the New World. This is the second batch of infantry fully completed (now 86 in total), ready for some Pikeman’s Lament skirmish action.

Very nice - lovely looking figures and some great terrain pieces

Where are the flags from?

Those figs look great, and the terrain seems to foretell an amazing battle board!

Great project all round and that waterfall is indeed amazing.
I'm going to guess the temple pieces are based around aquarium decorations as I have some similar ones?
