Fantastic thread and great work.

You started me googling on "De Geuzen" just to look at some pretty pictures. I did not see it translated, in fact all the pages I found about it were in Dutch as well. Too bad for us as it looks right up my alley. :(

You have a very lively style with wonderful brushwork. This is an inspirational project to follow.
Thanks for sharing!

It's a shame, but I guess it's a very nationalistic subject matter, with limited appeal to foreign markets.

Wonderful inspiration for miniature designs though:

They do look like a lot of fun. As I'm basing this part of the project on the 7TH voyage / 7TV theme i figured each game would take the shape of a TV episode. Each week Giselle and her Spanish Aliies come up with another dastardly plan to help defeat the Geuzen. The plan usually involves some kind of monster or supernatural being and I've been thinking about what they might be. So far I've got the zombies which will probably be returning characters plus I could have the headless ghost, the spectral knight, the big green meanies (foundry renaissance orcs), lumbering brutes (the old marauder ogres of which I've got one) etc etc

The aforementioned Dulle Griet from LAM could be another. A generic witch would also work.

I was thinking of Dulle Griet as a guest star rather than a villain and Giselle is my witch, she wouldn't take kindly to competition.
Then there is always these guys

Oops, double post. It's ok though as it's to bring you another couple of co-stars for my show.

Those are two very personable Rogues, AND BEAUTIFULLY painted. VERY WELL DONE!

By the way, who makes Falstaff?

He's from Foundry's swashbucklers range, most of the figures are. A lovely range of figures.

I'm really enjoying this thread - some great miniatures and an original theme.

Thanks for posting the images.
