From RayR - Almansa 1707 - Portuguese, Noronah's Brigade 13pts


Its Saturday and its time for a trip to Portugal.


Here we have the 7 squadrons of Noronha's brigade


In this brigade are the following units.
Marquis Das Minas Gardes 1 Squadron
General de la Cavallera 1 Squadron
Don Antonio de Noronha 2 Squadrons
Campo Major 3 Squadrons


I found no information on Portuguese cavalry flags what so ever. So I used the flag of Portugal as a Kings colour for the 1st squadron and gave a random colour for other squadrons.





Unfortunately, most of the Portuguese cavalry were dressed in white or grey, so they're all gonna look the same if there are 1 squadron units. So I might mix it up a bit in other brigades??? 


I cannot claim any point for the 2 squadrons of Noronha, as these were test units prior to the start of the Challenge.


Just remember these are 2mm, they are small, so the paintjob won't be to everyone's taste



5 squadrons @2.5 pts each = 12.5

Brigade Leader @ .5 pts

Total 13 points

You are really rattling through this project, Ray. I'm enjoying watching it grow week by week. Your units look very nice and neat, and the little flags give them a nice burst of colour.

  8. They are indeed small, Ray! I rather like them though and this project. All of the units you have done are very colorful and still very tidy. The unit tags and banners are well done too.
