Here is a link to my recently finished Aztec army, using a mixture of Assault Group, Gringos40 and Foundry models. Based for Impetus at present, but the models are also removable for 'En Garde'. link |

Superb work, Mithlond. Surely Aztecs are the most colourful army out there! |

I wouldn't have the heart to paint an Aztec army!

Good job on those. When I did mine I only kept the eagle Knights and the Cuachique in separate units, as for DBM and ADLG I needed distinctive units.

The rest of the army I based them with different weapons, spears in one lot and club types in the other, again to satisfy the army lists rather than how they actually fought where , from what I read they were all mixed together, so a priest or eagle warrior could be stood next to a novice. From my readings it was possible only the shorn ones were an actual unit.
I also found using the same 3 companies you used the best option, to get a good variety. Anyway they are a great colourful army to paint. |

Thanks for the comments guys, @aynsley683 that's a lovely looking army. Yes the trouble with the Aztecs is they don't really conform to ‘conventional' listings; we play a lot of Impetus at our club so I've gone with that as an army list BUT the figures are all able to come out so in theory I could rearrange them how I like. I'll certai ky be skirmishing with them too for En Garde and I've also seen an army list for an Aztec Rampant version too. The main thing was, though, that I wanted a colourful project to offset my other 20mm WW2 stuff and 1/1200 napoleonic naval. It's certainly done that! |

Mithlond-i found Aztecs one of the most challenging to do, and yes I wanted something colourful but different as well.
I found it difficult to decide how to base them all and be able to fit both the army lists and keep it a little historical. But hopefully you had as much fun as I did.
I did samurai a few years before for the same reason , colourful and different. Now they were a lot easier to base and fit both history and the lists.
Will you be doing more conquistadors and their allies ,Tlaxcalan, to fight against yout Aztecs ? |
