15mm Colonial Spanish for sale!
Posted: Wed Jul 20, 2011 7:08 pm
We have put the models up for sale on our webstore. Note that they are available in FoGR unit sizes to make purchasing them more convenient.
Rather than depicting them as the iconic Spanish conquistador, we decided to make them as they seem to have actually appeared. We relied closely on the depictions of Spanish colonial troops in Ian Heath's book on armies of the Americas in the 16th century. The classic morion would have come rather later, and many troops would have adopted protection and dress more appropriate to the Americas, such as the thickly quilted fabric jacket that many of our troops wear.
We've gone for the mid 16th century, basically, so swordsmen, crossbowmen and arquebusiers, but plan to offer a pike and shot unit soon as well (the pike element is already sculpted).
Thanks! Here's the link:
