Blood and Plunder - Dugthefug1644
Where it began...
Sorry to leap around in the chronology of this project, but I hope if you read the whole thing you will still get rough understanding of how things unfolded.
When I was considering how to get into the game I looked at this cheap ebay part-painted Pike and Shotte purchase I made months before. I looked at the pictures on the Firelock Games website and thought there were some similarities between the Civil war minis and the Spanish Milicianos (militia).
I went ahead and painted several of the miniatures in the same colours as some of the official minis examples online. I put plenty of variety into the models knowing that these men were not equipped like a regular European army, but would be using hand me downs, mending old kit or improvising with the best that they had.
I decided to make the officer in the batch a Spanish captain. I knew that there was a certain flamboyance expected in the Spanish officer class. I went bright and colourful and think he will stand out nicely on the table top. ?
