28mm Spanish dragoons for Nordlingen 1634

OK, so after two years I've finally given in to having a section of the FORUM specifically set up to discuss painting techniques, display examples, show your latest projects and chat about this vital part of the hobby. Manufacturers please feel free to post up your sculpts, ask questions about what the gamers are after and generally promote your work.. no charge! Painters, please also feel free to post up your work for comment and critique. I can't promise the unreserved adulation characteristic of some other fora but I would hope you'd get constructive and measured comment!

28mm Spanish dragoons for Nordlingen 1634

Hello Gentlemen, I present you some dismounted Spanish dragoons, of D. Pedro de Santacilia, the first peninsular regiment of dragoons sent to the Army of Cardinal Infante in Germany. These would have been present in battle of Nordlingen.

here they are :

And here some Spanish Cavalry, using Warlord Games ECW plastic miniatures (painted some years ago but never posted. I think they are not up to my today's painting standard)

Thank you Dave ! the figures are Bicorne Miniatures, from the UK, a bit large if you compare them with Perry or Foundry, but fine if they are in their own units.

Thanks! yes, is a fantastic range, although not available in Spain, so a little bit pricey to get from here.

My only issue looking at the foot figures, some of the musketeers do have very "english" head gear, the wool caps ect. instead of the broad brimed hat
