Zaragossa Regiment

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!

  2. I like them!

    If we only painted what we needed, the figure industry would probably collapse!

  6. Excellent job on those figures - faces, flag and bases all go well and I love the dirty look you have got with their white uniforms.
