Looking for some sites or guides on typical uniform, colour schemes for mid 16th century Spanish Conquistadors. I would be using these as allies for an Inca army if there are any particular co ours or uniform bits worn in those battles. Any help appreciated! Cheers |

No uniform, but take a look at this: link The box art of those plastic sets may be useful. Just click to enlarge. |

Find an old Wargames Illustrated with a Foundry ad for their Conquistador line and used that. Unfortunately, I can't find that line of figures on their website now so maybe they that taken it out of production. That's why I suggested the old Wargames Illustrated. If you an ad, it will provide a lot of samples. Richard |

hadn't thought of the plastics box art! I have lots of old Wargames Illustrated so will dig some of those out for a search. Any good blogs on this period?

Good stuff. Also found the Foundry site has Spanish Elizabethan figures
Which would probably give a good idea of some possible colours etc Cheers |

I went with Reds and Yellows, besides a lot of different leather colours plus chain-mail and steel. I over did it thou, they look to uniformed. |

I used to have some Spanish and the same issue. I ended up going with a fairly sombre palette, lots of browns, ochre, black, off white with red or red any yello being the only uniform aspect. Here's a pic;
They were quite quick to paint too, aside landsknechts anyway ! Stuart |
