28mm Hollywood style Spanish Main Guards

[richarDISNEY]

Hey!
I am looking for some 'Hollywood' style Spanish guards for an upcoming pirate game.
You know the kind.  Breastplates, Morion Helmets (metal mohawk kind), pikes, swords, etc...

Any ideas?
Thanks!

The Assault Group, perhaps.

Take a look at Foundry's Elizabethans and El Dorado & Swashbucklers figure lines.

Crann Tara Miniatures mins has got Border Reivers  and such. They are Elizabethan era.

I've compiled an illustrated list here:

Note that the Arsenal ones are now carried by Warlord Games.

Very useful list, White Knight!

richardDisney, if you are ready for a little fantasy / 'clockworkpunk' look you may consider some Frebooter Imperials. Unfortunately there is only one mini in morion (and not sold alone):

(yes, seemingly some of the Imperial soldiers are female).

Now, if there is a cheap source of heads in morion conversions would be a possibility -including for a more 'alt. 18th C. / Pirate sof the Caribbean'. look using for instance Wargames Factory WSS plastics?


Current Papal Swiss Guards also fit the bill, but seemingly they are not available in 28-30mm?

Brother Vinni has been showing fantastic chaps in morions, don't know who they were for though?

For his own range.

Hello,

Wargames Foundry TYW002 or ECW45 could fix. 

Redoubt Enterprises (ECW range) offers seperate helmets of any style - with and without feathers.

Pirates in tricorne -or Pirettes

 vs Spaniards in morion started fascinating me some 60 years ago


(though generally Spaniard are given clothes stripped red and yellow, probably because of the 'blood and gold' of the modern Spanish flag?),
as did Pirettes, indeed

I half expected it to be a cosmetics ad... "The Fountain of Youth... from l'Oreal"

There might be another reason, as (though I haven't seen the example you mention), red and yellow were the livery of the 'Infanterķa de Marina' early on their founding (much earlier than the current flag even existed), so those were the colours on their breeches.

   

As they were (among other things) embarked infantry, it was quite usual to see them (and their colours) all over the seas; quite iconic for pirate stuff, I believe.
