As mentioned in my last posted I had decided to start an Impetus army after listening to the brilliant interview of of Lorenzo Sartori on the Yarkshire Gamers Podcast (a second plug for you Ken, not that you probably need it).
Sartori is the Italian author of the Impetus rule set, and as I was struggling to decide what to paint next, listening to the interview was rather fortuitous. Hence a Impetus army made by an Italian figure manufacturer.
The army however, is Spanish so the theme seemed to die off a bit here. All the figures are 15mm Legio Heroica, sadly it would seem no longer in production after the passing of the owner. The mounted units are made up of 9 mounted figures and the infantry 16.
The Spanish Reconquista Army
Its a smallish army consisting of 10 mounted units and 6 infantry.
The Generals
One C-in-C and two sub generals (28pts)
Two Hildalgos Units (Basically mounted Knights) (72pts)
Two more Hildalgos Units (72pts)
Two more Hildalgos Units (72pts)
The Last Two Hildalgos Units (72pts)
Two Andalusian Cavalry Units (72pts)
Two Heavy Spear Infantry (64pts)
Four Units of Medium Spear (128pts)
I have added Spanish shields to these as they figures are from the Crusade Range and they came with kite and round shields.
Slingers (10pts)
A small army totalling 590 pts
French Foreign Legion (FFL).
Yet again, Peter Pig tempted me with a discount voucher just before the challenge. Having no will power whatsoever I purchased some Modern French Foreign Legion figures. Then realised I would need some transport for them. So, while the Reconquistas bases were drying I painted the vehicles below.
These are six 15mm VBMR Griffon (3D printed but I can't remember by whom) 48pts
And one AMX 10 (8pts)
FFL points 56pts
Total Post = 646pts
(Remember the Labels this time - sorry I missed them on the last post) Edit: I added your name to the labels. :D
TeemuL: It is a wonder! Me, Grahame and Spreadsheet all agree on the total points of this entry, woohoo! And what else can we expect from Grahame, than army and more in one post. :) Great brushwork once again and lots of details on shields and banners (be they freehand, sculpted and/or transfers) which will grant you some bonus points. Very nice and colourful units in your Spanish army and your modern vehicles look spot on, too. I believe you are struggling to figure out what to (buy and) paint for the last two weeks of the Challenge? Any good discounts in sight?
The Spanish force is gorgeous and the FFL transport/support is ace. Well done.
