These looks exceptional! After I learned about how the Hispanic Visigoths were one of the only Migration peoples to build new stone cities (Reccopolis, Vitoria, etc), they are quickly becoming my favorite. Certainly not the "hairy Germanics picking their noses in Roman ruins" stereotype! It's a shame that the sources appear to be in Spanish only; I'd like to read up more.

I do wonder how usable these would be after Covadonga, like King Ramiro I. Or if we might get visually distinct Iberio-Roman levies to bulk out the heavily outnumbered Visigoths…

1898 Miniaturas announces:

We are very pleased to announce our next range of 28mm miniatures, whose first references will see the light this September, a very dear project in which we have been working for almost a year – Visigoths.

Visigoths

With the help of the virtuoso 3Dsculptor Fanath, we are developing a complete range that, as is already our trademark, combines the detail and spectacularity of the miniatures with the maximum rigor in the historical documentation.

This new range of 28mm Visigoths – white-metal miniatures, designed for both collectors and wargaming, with special attention to Saga – will be developed in several thematic phases, with the first of them centered around Covadonga (718/722), the final resistance of the Visigothic remnants led by Pelayo after the debacle of the Battle of Guadalete (711) and the subsequent Muslim occupation of almost the entire Iberian Peninsula. This phase, composed of figures on foot, will be formed by a warlord and a character (of course, Pelayo), spatharios (noble warriors) with armor, warriors without armor, and levies armed with bows and slings. In later phases, we will add cavalry and new warlords and characters to represent the great armies of the Visigothic Kingdom of Toledo, from Leovigild (6th Century) to Rodrigo (8th Century).
