Time for another update of the El Cid Christian Spanish project. This weekend after posting the last update I was able to spray the primer on 8 more Caballeros, 8 Aqueros, 8 Armed Pilgrims and some casualty markers. The Caballeros are still being painted but the rest are ready to join the battle line.

| Five Hail Caesar casualty markers |
Following on from preparation for the huge
Dark Ages game I did with James Morris and friends it was found that the best way to mark casualties was to add a unit filler with a spear and mark casualties with hoops. So I've made five for this project too using the
Perry Miniatures First Crusade Dead and Wounded pack
 |
| Wounded Caballeros infantry unit filler |
 |
| Wounded Peon infantry unit filler |
 |
| Dead Peon cavalry unit filler |

I also purchased two packs of the
Armed Pilgrims to use as skirmishers, there are another four to do, but here are the first eight.
Here are some close ups:
 |
| Pilgrim Slinger |
 |
| Pilgrim with knife |
 |
| Another Pilgrim with sling |
 |
| Pilgrim with agricultural implement |
The last eight figures are Aqueros these are the
Perry Miniatures Archers, again there are another four let to do.

I'm well through the 1500pt mark as a WAB army now. There are eight Caballeros on the painting table and all there is left to complete after that is:
- 1 Infante
- 7 Caballeros
- 4 Aqueros
- 4 Armed Pilgrims
- 21 Armoured Spearmen to use as either Mercenary or Guard Spearmen
The end of the pile for this lot is definitely in sight. I can see this army making an appearance at
Hot Lead at Gripping Beast on the 1st July
Nice work!!
