From MikeV: And yet more 6mm Spanish!

Not a very productive week this one but at least I got the Spanish side ready for my planned Albuera refight. I put in seven infantry stands totalling 84 figures and four command stands with nine mounted senior officers, all Baccus 6mm as usual.

Command stands - three brigade and one divisional commander  
16th Line Regiment Toledo in sky blue facings



And finally my favourite - a rag tag unit of militia and guerilleros

Must apologies for the picture quality.  Taken hurriedly in the blazing afternoon sun (already in the low thirties here today!) so didn't really have time to refine much.


Cheers all!


Iain W 28mm another Italian wars command stand (15 points)

Here we have another Italian wars command stand.  This was the stand that was going to have last weeks spare monk on it but I figured two more command stands with monks was overkill! Instead we have a  warlord plastic standard bearer with Perry arms and head (once more donated by Norm,thanks Norm!) plus warlords younger Maximilian, which I have been informed by Oli (from his Comisado blog ) that it's a bit of a fantasy figure, based on a  posthumous portrait from over a century later  and his costume doesn't look like early 16th century to be honest.  So I decided to use him as a non specific prince and have furnished him with an advisor, Cesare  Borgia had Leonardo, Michelangelo styled himself as a military engineer at this time and this chap is extolling airborne assault a little ahead of his time! He started life as a warhammer/talisman plastic wizard but I saw him painted up on Robbie's Aut Caesar, aut nihil blog on wargaming the Borgias, an excellent blog for renaissance wargaming ,he has replaced the monk.





 The flag is really a medieval Sienne's flag but it will do until I can dig out something better once I have a printer!
This brings me to a total of 580 (15 points for these 3 chaps) next up probably some Dux Bellorum types, I know predictable!
All the best Iain
