Renaissance Imperial Spanish Infantry.

With a hobby like our's it sometimes difficult to decide what comes first in terms of inspiration?

In this case it was definately the look of shiny metal.  

The past few weeks have been spent reading up on the Spanish Armada and the campaigns of the Spanish in Flanders. Having just finished the last of Foundry's Swashbucklers, I thought I would turn my attention to the Spanish.

These could be used for Italy, The Netherlands, France, Ireland, Africa or the New World. 

I have some ideas on how I can pull all of this Renaissance stuff together and you can guarantee it will be a little off the beaten track.

As always comments welcome.
