More Moors

I have finally got around to painting the rest of the figures to field a platoon of Regulares for my Nationalist Spanish Civil War forces.
Figures are as ever from the Empress Miniatures range. Coming up next probably after the Christmas break will be  El camión de la verdad.
No game in OHQ next week due to various circumstances gaming has transferred to GHQ this month.

  2. Thank you Joe. The colours are inspired by the Painting War Spanish Civil War volume by Ruben Torregrosa. Indeed planning to play a SCW game in January 25.

  3. Lovely work, and they are cracking miniatures. As Joe said the browns look tremendous.

  5. I found myself staring into those photo’s for quite a while ….. trying to steal your technique:-) Lovely sculpts with your brush doing full justice. That flag also makes for an eye-catching addition.

    1. Thank you Norm. I used the usual two/three layer method altering Ruben's recipe where I thought the contrast between layers too strong.

  9. Very attractive looking targets…😂
    The Spanish Civil War is a surprisingly colourful ‘Modern’ period….One I would like to get into myself… Seing your toys always gets my butterfly fluttering 🦋🦋🦋.

    All the best. Aly
