The Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge

Welcome to the Painting Challenge. Here you will find the fabulous, fevered work of miniature painters from around the world. While participants come from every ethnicity, gender, age and nationality, they have three things in common: they love miniatures, they enjoy a supportive community, and they want to set themselves against the Challenge. This site features the current year's event along with the archives of past Painting Challenges. Enjoy your visit and remember to come back soon.

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.
