Spanish

[ducat]

Well as there are plenty of adverts for what is coming up from C&C, and anyone who was listening at Salute last year knows what is coming,  I think I should be ok to post something I have been painting up for a while, and have finally finished today - (Ok, the basing needs some tufts etc, but I get those next week at Salute when I find the colours I particularly want)

My Spanish force for Saga/C&C.

Note these are some of the older line of GB figures, I believe (but do not quote me on this as I have no sources) that there are some new lovely figure goodness for the Spanish due from GB, but I may certainly be wrong here.

Onto the pictures -

Whole Army -


Warlords -



Hearthguard - (9 figures as I have one extra as a banner bearer)


Warriors - (1 of my 3 units of mounted)


Warriors - (my foot unit)


Hope you enjoy, John.

Looks great! 

[von Lucky]

I like the subdued colour palette used, well done.

[Atheling]

They look good 

But, The two warlords are riding Turkish looking barded mounts, is this deliberate?

Darrell.

[Colonel Tubby]

I like the subdued colour palette used, well done.

I second that, and the colour choice for the army is great.

[Little Odo]

Fantastic set of units there. I especially like the way you have gone for simple shield designs - I doubt all warriors were Rembrandts back in the day as most sets of shield transfers seem to imply.

[Phil Portway]

Nice and effective paint scheme
