Spanish Swashbucklers... or "Alatriste by fanboys"

[Christian]

They look really, really good... and it looks like there's some "plague monks" with the bird-like gas masks coming along.

I think this is going to be a bit of something for everyone... those friars look really good, and check this guy out:

I thought this was dead? 

[white knight]

well, if the answer to the question is no, then the project is still dead...

[white knight]

I seem to recall another thread about it stating so a while ago, but then I again, I can be wrong. I would love to know though.

And the website being dead doesn't exactly inspire hope 

[Cory]

No, the dead links are not a good sign, but I was hoping that the line had come into being as another company.

The project is dead, but the thread LIVES!  (Not sure why though.  )

[cianty]

Ah, so this is where the Alatriste model comes from! God, those greens are mind blowing! I want them ALL!! WHy oh why did the project die!! 

[elhion]

Maybe there is someone in this board who knows the sculptor(s)? If we get in touch with him we could arrange something. They are beautifull indeed these models!

Hi guys!

I bring this topic back from the dead, as there are finally news from this project. I copy a link, a gorgeous new mini painted by no less than Angel Giraldez, and I translate the story now:

To shorten the story, these guys decided to create a boardgame based on the movie Alatriste. Those are the models you saw some time ago.

Some figures came, a first ruleset was produced, and some presentations too... But the company had to close due to lack of funds. Hopefully, the guys remained in contact.

The guys meet again and tried a change of direction, so they abandoned the "historic" feeling for an "ucronic" one (don't ask me! no more data is provided by now - but imagine they try to get a broader audience). They redesigned eveything, created a lot of minis and finally, after a year, they made a deal with Zenit miniatures, who is doing the casting now.

This won't be, so they say a fantasy setting like Helldorado, nor a comic-like one like Ron&Bones.

They say that they are producing copies, stocking minis, formatting rules, and making a lot, lot of numbers

That's the news. You can find the original at

any word on the size?

any word on the size?

As I can see from the spanish forum discussion, he is 28mm.

And it seems that they are doing a game is based in an alternative XVII century Spain were the king is dead and different factions fight for the throne. So, alternative history but not fantasy.
