From the German 'Kabinettskriege' - Cabinet Wars: a period of limited conflict from the Peace of Westphalia (1648) to the French Revolution (1789).

Modified Vintage 20mil Naps Complete

At last, my 2nd Burgos Regiment is finished, this was quite a long job given the amount of modifications made as covered in earlier posts.  That said I'm rather chuffed with how they turned out so now it's time for their curtain call:

First, the regiment in line, accompanied by a previously painted Major General.


Then some drill practise in formations less used by my Spanish troops, such as attack column[1] ...


... and square (I have a habit of relying on musketry to stop cavalry).


And, finally a close up of the command group.




Notes:

[1.]  In this photo an interloper can be seen behind the general - this was the test figure I did first just to be sure I could pull off the conversions before beheading an entire unit's worth of figures.  When I did the unit's rank and file, I did an entire unit's worth in case one of the conversions failed - they all worked so he's now a handy spare.

  1. A wonderful looking unit. Beautifully painted and the gloss finish really brings out the colours.

    1. Thanks, the last unit of Spanish were less successful conversions, so I was particularly pleased when these turned out so well.
