Next up the last of the Wargames Atlantic box.
I am not sure I will get used to the colour Palette for these Jaguar warriors, lets hope they distract the Spaniards as much on the table top as when I was painting them.....
The Jaguar warriors were an elite military class made up of Aztec nobility and served as shock troops in battle. Their primary mission was not just to kill enemies but to capture them alive for ritual sacrifice.
To become a Jaguar warrior, one had to capture at least four enemies in battle.
I opted for a mix of colours and will look to add a little more variety on the next batch, perhaps changing the tones to the blues and red's. This is one of the Christmas and Birthday projects when people ask what do you want and you are so difficult to buy for.
You get 10 Jaguar/Eagle Warriors in each box so plenty of choices to make up.

Now to give them a run out on the table using the adapted Lion Rampant rules - Queztacoata Rampant and see how the casualty capture rules work.
It's a good excuse to get the Spanish back on the table, stay tuned for the first run out.....
Those look fantastic. Very nice work as always.
ReplyDeleteAn era/ conflict I know virtually nothing about Stu...will ge interested to see how your "capturing the enemy " rule works. I have a recollection of Pony Wars rules where the First Nation Warriors wanted to "count coup" which was basically getting close to the enemy and inflicting a non fatal hit....kind of gaining prestige by skill at arms but without doing any actual damage....we didn't play the rule though...far too hard to understand!
ReplyDeleteFine looking unit there Stu and it will be nice to see the Spaniards on the table too.
