Work on our Spanish Century continues with more greens, dolls and parts from our Master Sculptor's talented hands.
Firstly - and the only complete 'greens' on show in this batch of miniatures - are a pair of Spanish Wives. These wives - not sutlers or whores, as designated by the visible wearing of the households keys on their skirts - are going to be given away next month with a Spanish Century offer.
Secondly, we have the dolls and horses for the three cavalry types necessary for the armies of the New World and Italy. Heavy Cavalry are represented by Lancers for both theatres, but the Conquistador variants have 3/4 armour and heavy kneeboots consistent with the rest of our miniatures, where as the European versions will have full plate from head to toe. Conquistador horses are shown with bells and bridles with fringes. Light cavalry for the period is supplied by Genitors with very light armour and javelins.
Also, we have another ordinance piece to add to our growing 16th Century 'park'. This is a medium-sized piece with a simple aiming device, taken from an Albrecht Durer print.
In addition to all that, we have the first sneaky peak at the TAG Landsknechts. These dolls are for the first 'incarnation' of these German mercenaries, when they are heavily influenced by the Swiss. More, of course, later...
Finally, we have standing ponies for our dismounted cossacks. The holders for these have been around for a while (pictured on our site), but only in the last few days has Nick Collier (our Senior Sculptor) finished these mounts for them.
