So I am starting my Santa Hermandad project and looking over some baggage options.

Does anyone know a good source for some 15mm religious figures (plenty of Crusader monks out there, but something later and more senior like a bishop would be cooler). I also might include some prisoners and "enhanced interrogation" scenes so figures in shackles, on racks, tied to posts for pyrotechnic enhancements would be pretty good also.

Finally, I may have to scratch build a comfy chair.

Sure Donninghton do some, Musmum do a figure at the stake(seems to be what the Spainish fancied doing a lot)

Hi, if you want to do a baggage with some historical accuracy you're ahead a few years, but if it amuses you, go ahead.
It would be more historical one tent with the colors of Castilla surrounded by bishops, monks and priests, and a dirty woman's shirt , lying to aerate, and a tent with the colors of Aragon surrounded by suspicious looking guys , dressed in the Italian way and a few scantily clad women. And, to round off the scene, some noble Aragonese and Castilian nobles fighting for precedence to step on the road.

I suspect Spike is trying to model Monty Python's Spanish Inquisition. Nobody expected that!

So what you'd be looking for is men in long robes with wide brimmed hats. I'd recommend seeing if you can find a 3 Musketeers range in 15mm, that would be bound to have at least one Cardinal figure in it.

Plenty of inquisitorial type bagge for ideas here:

Hello,If you continue with the idea of an inquisitorial baggage you may find these links useful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanbenito , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomás_de_Torquemada , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pedro ... (1475).jpg

Thanks for the tips. I may also use this as an inspiration image for the stockades.

Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again.
