Wonderful paint work, they look the part. The Cid!

Thanks all, it's been six weeks since I last had a game. Hopefully, I shall be able to get them on a table soon.

Well eleven weeks since my last game but here are another ten Christian Caballeros.

Following another weather related varnishing disaster 5 more Caballeros join El Cid.


As usual, more comment and images on the blog.

Fantastic thread with some great looking units.

I've always liked the El Cid period - a geographically contained area makes it managable to put forces together that are still varied and colourful enough to keep it interesting.

Looking forward to additional posts.

I've just discovered this thread and it's all awesome!

[painterman]

Me too - lovely collection you're building!

[scrivs]

Thanks for all your kind comments.

I've been after the opportunity to get the entire El Cid collection out for some photos and as it's Labour Day and I don't have to go to work, so I bought a new gaming table, threw some terrain out and got the entire El Cid collection out for a game of Hail Caesar.






A full report and loads more photos on Scrivsland

A splendid spread of colourfulness 

Really difficult not to get back into this period again.

Happy New Year from Scrivsland.

It's been a while since any new troops but this weeks blog update sees the El Cid collection grow, Berber Camelry and Black Guard plus the start of an Andalusian contingent.

As usual, more images on the blog:

Awesome collection! 

Great to see both armies on the field!

Will there be any siege engines in the pipeline?

[scrivs]

Good question, the collection could certainly include some but once I build siege engines I then need need to build city walls.....
