Finished Figures from the Painting Tray.


These figures have been waiting to get finished for ages , they are Aztecs in 28mm by The Assault Group . A bit plainer than Foundry but since that firm has stopped producing their Aztecs I  will have to rely on Assault Group for more reinforcements.


 On  my other blog I have been deciding what to paint in the next year . http://tinsoldieringon.blogspot.com/2011/12/wargaming-musings.html so I will hopefully get some of the back log of already purchased figures finaly done.


These are some Bavarian Chevaleger , I  have a lot of 28mm Foundry Napoleonics to finish painting in the coming year .


 They have been painted in an 'Old School' style (click on photo to enlarge)

Conquistador Crossbowmen


Been busy enlarging my Spanish Conquistador forces . These are Assault Group Spanish Crossbowmen from their Renaissance range, rather nice figures with a good mix of armour and clothing styles and fit in size wise with the 28mm Foundry that I already have .

Aztec Warriors


Just finished this unit of 'cuahchique'  the Aztec equivalent of berserkers . (how the devil you pronounce Aztec words is beyond me !) .


These figures take time to paint as each one is different to the next .


A selection of senior Aztec Officers - who it seems are having a difference of opinion over the location of the enemy - 'Over there!' 'No over there!'.

Conquistador and Aztecs


Been fighting a small engagement using TSATF variant - The Sword ,Cross and Gold. Unfortunately I didn't remember to take more photos ( the heat of action etc) so I  have had to make do with some of the participants.


The figures are all Foundry , think I got the flag from Warflag .


Got the shield designs from the Foundry book and a couple of Ospreys.


Aztec Jaguar Knights .

Conquistadors

Been slowly painting up Spanish Conquistador and Aztecs that I  got from Foundry in one of their 20% off deals . Enjoying painting them , but they are slow going - especially the Aztecs ! . But what rules to use ? , think I have decided on a Sword And The Flame variant .


The Perruzza brothers Josef and Pedro and command group.

The Conquistadors move down the road looking for gold .


Aztec Eagle Knights await them


The Aztecs prepare to spring an ambush on the invaders.


In the village Aztec merchants prepare to set off on their travels .  I will post more photos as the battle unfolds. The houses are card ones stuck onto MDF  bases and I think look quite good , having had bad experences with card models in the past.
