Tlaxcalans - commission for a friend

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Another unit of Spanish swordsmen and a general (looks like this might become a Spanish Colonial army at some point)

[nikharwood]

Nicely done, Will, nicely done

I reeeeeally like the sword and shield men ML! Very spiffy work.

Lovely stuff, Will.

I like those, they've come out very nicely.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Been a year or three...
But Pete asked me to paint some more Tlaxcalans, so I said yes... 200+ figures later... 


Archers (he already had 17 stands of these, so I did him another 39 stands)


A close up (the original stand is front right)




'Protected' archers (mixed archers and warriors), 24 stands.


Close up


Slingers (18 bases)




General





And you thought I had been quiet of late!

First off, that is some bloomin' impressive work.  

I was completely and utterly behind you all the way ... until the baggage. I know this is a hobby horse that I have ridden to the dust, but I have to ask about the Darkseid* face behind them.  

Is it expected that the baggage is a largely static unit? It's not expected to move and can therefore be left in situ throughout a game? If so I can view the Zordon**/baggage combo as terrain and get on with my day. If not, is the logic that the baggage tote the Face of Boe*** with them, or does it follow them Pacman**** like across the table?

I am, of course, just hugely jealous of your skills. Also curious to see what's behind Lady Cassandra*****.


* DC Comics super baddie - Google it!  
** From the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. (I refuse to recognise any of the sequels. They were a mockery of the original concept.) He's a big floaty head thing that lures teenagers into a secluded fortress and then dresses them in skin tight clothes and gets them to stand in splayed-legged, exaggerated positions. What's wrong with that?  
***Dr Who character. Just a face.  In a jar of vinegar. A big face. Really big. No ... there's no logic to it.
****I'm not explaining that one
***** Another Dr Who character that was just a face in a jar. I don't know why. Maybe the writer had a fetish or something.Zoe Wannamaker did the voice and eventually she dried up and sort of popped. Lady Cassandra that is. Not Zoe Wannamaker.

No clue, its a fishtank decoration that my mate wanted on the base, beggars can't be choosers!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

And yes, it has become a Spanish colonial army...
63 arquibusiers.
