I can't help myself! After plodding along trying to finish my British units, I suddenly went off on a Spanish tangent after spotting the new HaT Spanish infantry figures at Hearns' Hobbies.
Did I need them? Well....no, not really.
Did I want them? Hell, yeah!
They're very pretty figures and I have a soft spot for the uniforms. I have a theory that if I build a stonking big Spanish force I might be able to overwhelm a French force of an equal points value. Or at worst, I'll be able to provide a deceent amount of comic value as they all head for the hills en masse!
This lot I've painted up as the Zaragossa Regiment. Why? Why not, I say!
Those Hat Spaniards are beaut and you have really done them justice with your excellent paint job Ben. I do hope that you got all four sets...!!!
ReplyDeleteI like them!
ReplyDeleteIf we only painted what we needed, the figure industry would probably collapse!
Excellent work, they are beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking figures and colours. I also like their uniform - the big bicorne is really cool too.
ReplyDeletePriceless, always good to have some variety says I! ;)
ReplyDeleteExcellent job on those figures - faces, flag and bases all go well and I love the dirty look you have got with their white uniforms.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking unit, the Spanish uniform is always a joy to paint.
ReplyDeleteLove the attitude wot won the empire...do we need it? No...Will we have it anyway? Too right! Never enough figures!!! on to Paris, Berlin, Blackpool, etc.
