Hi guys!
I have just "reinforced" my late XVII Spaniards with 4 new pikemen for a Provincial Tercio in Franco Dutch War, or in League of Augsburg War, sorry for the slow update, I am working on several projects, so this one will be slower from now on, but an advancing one though ;)
Here is the unit painted so far:
And now the conversions themselves; you saw them in the first April post here:
I used a Bicorne miniatures ECW pikeman, in order to depict an old fashioned coat along the newer longer coats... I modified him with a feather in his hat and a green stuff cravatte in his neck. As it is a Provincial Tercio, those were low budget units, roughly trained and equiped. I avoided giving them a full uniform, but "off white" grey or beiges are dominant with red.
the other 3 figures are modified scythemen from Front Rank:
I used mostly Vallejo and Foundry paints, with some Citadel, and tried some new tones, like the grey coat on the pikeman standing with his pike upright, I think the contrast is too strong for my taste, but I left him like that anyway.
I hope you like them!
Cheers
Very smart looking!!!
