Now it's on to the infantry as I have enough cavalry completed. I will not do as many heavy infantry as heavy cavalry as the Spanish fought largely mounted, but they did play a role and so I will include some.

The unit is a Spanish spearmen with a Moorish influence like my cavalry. In keeping with the theme of the rest of the army I once again used ap with highlights and hand painted all shields and banners.

I'll be at Attriticon in early May hosting a demo with Sir Toby and his lovely Andulsians vs my El Cid force using Impetus rules. Please drop by and say hi or join in!

Thanks for viewing!  :)

Next up some more Spanish spearmen with my game with Sir Toby.

The flag is a bit bigger on this then the other one to show it's a
command base and I added a Cantador(Bard) to inspire the men and to bolster
their spirits.

Thanks for viewing!   :)

I finished these a few days ago, but I haven't had time to publish them. They are some Spanish skirmishers for my El Cid Impetus army. I painted them in slightly less flashy colours(mostly browns and creams) to represent their lower peasant status.

Thanks for viewing.  :)

Really great, Christopher! Sad for my Andalusians that they performed as good as they look  ::)

Thank you gents very kind of you! :)

@Toby

Actually your wonderful looking Andalusians performed very well, but had a hard situation to fight from in my opinion.
