Hello, I want to do a game set in the 1600'Philippines using Pikeman's Lament. I discovered that the Spanish fought not only filipino warriors but Japanese. I know what the Japanese look like but not the filipino warriors.

Not sure about its accuracy, but this is the look the Ayala Museum went for (zoom as much as you look!):

Thanks a lot. I guess I can use 28mm Moro's for figures.

Ok, that was supposed to have been "zoom in as much as you like!" Old age sucks.

Anyhow, reenactments of Magellan's death has become some of a tradition in Lapu Lapu City, so it may be worth checking out what their interpretations are like.

Must say the Spaniards standing stage right in the third link seem to be sporting awfully modern-looking hair styles, but otherwise those dioramas are very well done indeed. I love this whole period. Makes me want to read up on the Spanish/Philippine conflict…
