Starting my El Cid Christian Spanish

I have finally made a start on the Christian Spanish for El Cid. We are having another campaign day in October so it was about time I got cracking.

The figures are all from the fantastic Perry Miniatures First Crusade range.

Over the past few weeks, I have cleaned up all the figures and have added some green stuff 'accoutrements' such as turbans, tassled shields, spear pennants etc.

We are having a SAGA themed day in two weeks at the White Hart so I thought I should try to paint up enough figures to do a four point warband, so have sorted out the following:

Infante
8 Cabaleros
8 Peons
8 Crossbowmen

Lots of bare metal


I'll take these out and spray them later and hope to make a start on painting when I get back from visiting Dad in hospital.

    Cheers Scotty.

    Nine horses painted so far, nine Caballeros base-coated and washed ready for highlights over the next few days.
