Having painted a number of units for the Irish for SAGA and the Elizabethan Project, I thought I would turn my attention to the Spanish Forces of King Phillip.
Whilst
the Spanish of the Armarda period typically wore no uniform apart from a
red sash or arm band for identification, I wanted to apply a common colour scheme
for the various units, albeit slightly different for each section.
Command group and the first unit.
Second Unit.
Unit Three
I am still on the look out for a suitable figure for the Duke of Palma, my Saga Irish will double as Irish mercenaries to help ward off the ‘undone’ or to aid the Spanish in their conquest of Ireland.
Most figures are Foundry with a couple from Sgt Major Miniatures, flags from redoubt.
Very nice looking troops! Very well painted!
ReplyDeleteVery striking troops there, I love the colour scheme and they have the feel of Spaniards.
ReplyDeleteThey look superb Stuart; the metalwork is awesome!
