So now that the Aztecs are finished, I decided to push on with the mesoamerican Shenanigans, but this time focusing on the Conquistadors.
So here we have 42 miniatures that I based tonight. It comprises:
Five bases of sword and buckler men
Two bases of cut down pikes, my plan is to give the Greenstuff pointy bits. I am now taking bets on how far I have painted them before I remember 😉.
Two bases of arquebusiers
Three bases of crossbowmen
One base of random missile troops.
And a command base on my last 30x40mm mdf base.
Still to base up….
One base of heavy cavalry (or two if I only put two to a base)
One (or two) bases of Jinete cavalry
A war dog handler and dogs (two bases)
Two or three bases of Pack mules
I will get the based ones sprayed tomorrow and make a start on them on Saturday.
Whilst perusing the school library I came across some new research material…
My favourite picture, especially after doing all of the back banners…
I am quite enjoying this podcast on the rise of the Aztecs…
A fair few things I hadn’t heard before…
You are really are cracking on with the troops! I think I maybe need to delve into pre-Columbian American history a bit!
