Caballeros Attacking
« on: September 14, 2011, 03:00:26 AM »
The last unit finished for the event!!!!! (pant, gasp,.......I made it!) This last instalment for the event project is a another unit of Caballeros who have now thrown their throwing spears and have drawn their swords for close work to finish the attack.

Again, like the other unit of Caballeros they have a smaller standard compared to the Caballeros Hidalgos whose role is pure shock troops. The smaller standard allows them to move quicker as they try to break up enemy formations with javelins and then when the enemy is disorganized they launch their assaults which is more in the traditional method of Iberian fighting rather then Caballeros Hidalgos adopted Frankish style of fighting.

As with the rest of the army I mixed Christian and Moorish looks together to give that Iberian feel to them. I continued using AP with highlights and hand painting shields and banner.
Thank you for viewing. :smt001

I really like your clean and bright painting style.

Thanks for sharing.
I know you're too old to play with toy soldiers. So give them to me... NOW!

A beautiful unit as are all the others before it. I second the call for a shot of the entire army.

I really like the contrast of the basing as well. Did you use tufts?

Very jealous - great painting. Reminds me too that I need to make more movement trays.
