Viva Espana!

I received an unexpected package in the post from Nick Speller today, containing the Spanish cavalrymen for my Numidian General's bodyguard.  He's done a fine job on these, as ever!   The minis are Companion, Foundry and Crusader, mounted on whatever horses I could find; a couple of the Aventine horses mixed in very nicely.  I added rosettes, medallions and fringes to some of the horses, for a Spanish flavour.  Ole!

 
I'll base them over the next week, and post a proper picture when they are done.  They may well become my nicest cavalry unit.

  4. It does make them very distinctive. I added the rosettes to these horses, to look like the ones in hte Osprey.

    I wish I had some more Companion or Foundry cavalry; does anyone out there have any to swap?

  5. BRB - you should put the bite on Secundas - the old Iron Mitten has several times his own bodyweight in spare lead - check his Alexander & Companions box of bits out!

    BTW - muy bien cavalos muchachos amigo!

    Cheers,
    Doc

  6. Hi Doc, thanks! I must have getting on for 1000 unpainted Foundry Greeks and Macedonians in my own lead mountain; it's always the figures one doesn't have, one wants! In this case the Companion Spanish... mostly since they went OOP.
