Rank and file #1
Month 1 complete. I'd hoped to add a support unit of 10 crossbowmen too but the best laid plans of mice and all that... They'll follow in a later month.
This is Alfonso Pastéis de Nata and the sailors of the privateer 'Bastardo de Guerra'.
Alfonso resents the word pirate but he and his band are vile, scurrilous pirates; every man a bloodthirsty nautical brigand, devoid of honour or mercy.
The 'Bastardo de Guerra' is the Comte Del Monte's personal galleon and her sailors happily serve as infantry in his campaigns.
Alfonso Pastéis de Nata. Level 10 human hero, hand weapon and light armour: 57 points
19 human warriors. halberds and light armour, standard and musician:189 points
Total: 246 points
Props to anyone who recognises where the banner transfer came from btw :)
Brilliant. Great model and colour choices. Where are they sailing to next?
ReplyDeleteNo idea on the banner personally. But a friend insists it comes from the original Land Raider transfer sheet?
DeleteProps to your friend sir, that's exactly where it's from.
DeleteGood job! That's a great start to the army. Nice choice of colours and crisp paint job on them.
ReplyDeleteExcellent scheme of blue and yellow, super colourful! I give up for the transfers, although the flag looks great!
ReplyDeleteGreat painting! I like them. When I first discovered WFB 3rd in the late 80s I used Essex medieval figs for my Empire army.
ReplyDeleteGreat unit! Can you tell us from which range these models come?
ReplyDeleteThanks, they're Eureka 16th Century Portugese: https://www.eurekaminuk.com/collections/16th-century
DeleteThey look amazing hedgehogged up like that!
ReplyDeleteI've no idea about the transfer though :(
Sweet regiment, nice banner! I always liked human regimented infantry and they look the best with polearms. I'll second Jaeckel' question - where do the models come from?
ReplyDeleteI really like these minis and your paint job, so clean and vibrant, really does them justice. I imagine getting them to rank up as well as you have them was no easy task? Love it. Can't wait to see more

ReplyDeleteGreat work John - and I can almost feel that glorious Estalian sun with those bright colours and lighting! They look great ranked up - very dynamic. Alfonso's surname made me chuckle - love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat colour scheme and I love the way they have ranked up with weapons pointingboutbin every direction.
ReplyDeleteSweet unit. A good start on a promising army.
