JohnR's Estalians - Count the Hooves and Divide by Four. (414 points.)

Rank and File Month 4 

My late uncle's go-to joke when we had to count sheep or cattle in a field.

Feel like I made good progress this month.


Estalian Caballeros led by Rocco 'The Tilean Stallion' Sindaco.

Among an army of swaggards and braggards Los Caballeros are the most boastful and rambunctious of the lot. Rumour has it that Rocco shares a certain characteristic in common with his horse. His comrades joke that he's a mutant; but the luckiest mutant alive!



Border Horse - 'Los Escorpiones' led by Estofado De Carne.

Invariably found in the vanguard of the army the life of a cavalry scout can be brutally short. On the upside, with a little luck, you can be the first amongst the enemy's baggage train and first in the queue at the whore house at the next town.


Rocco Sindaco: Level 10 Human Hero, light armour, shield, lance and warhorse: 66 points.
9 Estalian Caballeros (+1 Shock Elite): light armour, shields and lances, standard: 200 points.

Estofado De Carne: Level 5 Human Hero, light armour, shield, spear and warhorse: 40 points.
5 Border Horse: light armour, shields and spears, standard: 108 points.



It's starting to look like an army :)


The plan is to do characters next. Though I'll probably wind up painting more rank and file 😂

  2. Flipping love it! The backline with a neat paintjob creates an awesomely striking effect - brilliant!

  4. Lovely crisp painting as always but it's the little comic touches with the names that I'm particularly enjoying. Judging from Estofado de Carne's meaty name would it be too much of a stretch to imagine his nickname is the Ultimate Meatball? Presumably then, he has a slightly rocky relationship with his fellow officer, the Tilean Stallion XD
