New Greens from Tercio Creativo
August 17, 2011 by beerogre
If you were luck enough to get to Tierra De Nadie 2011, then you may have caught sight of the new greens from Tercio Creativo... if not... then here they are in all their glory!
My favourite definitely has to be Irene Vioque, but Mochilero is a close second... what do you think guys?
I’d like a closer look at the “Vioques”… They all seem old somehow.
Which is fitting, “vioque” being french slang for “old people”…

Not really taken with Irene, but the chap on the top left of the second photo looks unusual. A villain in a variant of the stocks, perhaps, with a lantern above to show his shame to all? Need some of those for the looters.
Always good to see incidental figures, not just combat ones. The piece to the right of him (behind Irene) looks interesting too. Not sure if it’s a character or a piece of scenery. Are those broken legs an unfinished model or a broken statue? Who knows?
At some point I will have to get some of these!
Such good work.
Bit puzzled by Convicto’s stance but otherwize all is to the good.
Love Mochilero. Not quite straight out of a Velasquez painting but is just wonderful imho
Vioques could be a part of the Antiguo regimen … ? 🙂 Very characterful sculpts all in all and I’m quite interested in the quasy-historic background of the game as well. I think it conveys the 17th C. Spain, but my Google-Fu comes up with nothing on names like Ysbilia, Viscera, … what’s the story behind those characters, give us an English translation! 🙂
“Viscera” probably means innards. As in “eviscerate”…
Ysbilia, I don’t know. An anagram of Sybila, an oracle ?
BoW Romain
Could be, but both of those are used as geographic names! 😀 Siege of Viscera is the title of their beautiful demo table and Guardia de Ysbilia is a faction or a group, mentioned in the fluff, that has been translated so far.
And why not name a town “Viscera” ? Especially if it’s a battlefield… or a town that is the heart of some thing or another, in a dark gritty setting…
Ysbilia could derive from Ysabella the Catholic, famed queen of Spain.
We’ll wait for the translation, unless someone here speaks spanish…
BoW Romain
Those assumptions make sense, I had similar association for Viscera as well. I tried copying some of the fluff into Google Translate, but what turned out was rather painful.
Guys, the strange names of 1650 are old Spanish names. I mean: Viscera is the old name of an Andalucia village. As Ysbilia is the old name for Seville. Most of them are romans, but others are from muslims.
Cool, thanks for the clarification!
