40mm Napoleonics… Spanish Guerrillas

Greetings…

Another little batch of 40mm Napoleonics… This time it is a few Guerrillas.

I am sure I will come up with some suitable and probably silly names for them by the time I have my first game…

I was very pleased at how the armed Friars came out…







As before these were a lot of fun to paint…
They have come out quite colourful despite all the brown.

The Brown bits are… Citadel… Doombull Brown
The White bits are… Citadel… Pallid Wych Flesh.
The Red bits are… Citadel… Evil Sunz Scarlet.

As always everything was given a wash of Aly’s Brown Liquid and the highlight with the original shade.
I also did some additional highlights to the browns and the flesh…


The paints are Citadel.

The bases are as always…

Next up will be some Spanish Line Infantry…

All the best.  Aly

  4. And another excellent batch of figures. Nice figures, the monks really should take note of the 'thou shalt not kill' bit...

  6. These minis are really interesting, and offer great variety in clothing and physical appearance. Even the two friars, despite the habit, are different from each other: is the one with bare arms also barefoot? Instead the other three have some uniforms: are they jackets and hats of the Spanish army?

    1. Thank you…
      The Friar with bare arms is indeed bare footed…
      Yes the Guerrillas included men from the regular Spanish army.

      All the best. Aly

  9. Silly names? Looking at the forearm of the monk loading his musket 'El Popeye' seems pretty apposite.

    1. I like it…
      According to translate it would be El ojo de pop or El Popeye ( it depends whether you use Pop Eye or Popeye )I’m not sure which I prefer 😁

      All the best. Aly

  11. Quite a temptation, 40mm (must resist!). I particularly like the look of your basing, which evokes the "display figure" look (as does your wonderful brushwork, of course, on the figures).

    1. Thank you Ed
      I prefer the thicker bases…
      I don’t think you should resist 40mm… you know you will love it.

      All the best. Aly
