From VictorC: The Spanish Battalions Granda and Cuenca in 10mm (120 points)

Two more Spanish Battalions: The Granda and Cuenca units are ready for action against the British, Dutch and Portuguese. 

The flags are my speculation of what they looked like, I couldn't find any reference to them at all.

I'm looking forward to finishing up the Spanish and putting them, along with the French out on the table just to get an idea of what I've undertaken here.

Another wonderful addition to your War of Spanish Succession collection Victor! The uniforms' green is very nice and I like your flag, conjectural or not. For your next post please give us an idea of your force to date - these beefy battalions really will look great massed together on the tabletop.

122 points, including a couple more for the brave banners. Well done Victor!

  1. Nice work on these 10 mils. I wasn't aware of Spanish infantry in green.

    1. Prior to changes in 1704 and 1707 the Spanish used Yellow, Red, Green, White, Sliver and Blue. The more grey/white uniforms started show up after 1704 but took a long time before they were implemented fully.

  4. These smaller-scale units really convey the impression of the huge battles of the 18th century. They will look very impressive ranked up on the tabletop, so we expect a group shot by Challenge's end!
    Splendid work, Victor!

  7. I really like these mini Spaniards, Victor! The best gu-estimation seems to work very well for the flags too. Am I the only one who zoomed in to view the tricorns!? ;)
