The Old Regime Return To The Fighting In Tercio Creativo 1650
May 2, 2017 by brennon
Tercio Creativo welcomes new soldiers with an old style to them for their 1650 world. The Old Regime are settling in for a right ol' scuffle of their own or maybe alongside the Guard of Ysbilia: Domini Canis.
First up we have the Praefectus with his mighty tome before him. The style of these miniatures always gets us interested in exploring more of the range and you can see why. They have a great look to them, packed with detail without being cluttered.
I mean, look at the expression they've got on his face with that furrowed brow. The same can be said about the second character here, Gladius who is kitted out for a more frontline role with that blade.
He also seems like quite the no-nonsense type of person, holding that head as he is. I wouldn't want to cross him! Being someone who enjoyed playing as the Empire and Witch Hunters in Mordheim I love seeing models like this with a similar aesthetic.
Next up we have a hunter in the Aquilifer here. His stance is of one on the prowl, getting low for a killing strike. He seems adept at range as well as up close thanks to the crossbow too.
Animal companions aren't normally as well detailed as their leaders but I have to say even that owl there is looking fantastic. It would be interesting to see someone go for a brighter patterned look to the robe this fellow is wearing too.
Last but not least, and on the subject of animal companions we have Sus Aries here. When it comes to getting that icon to where it needs to go why hold it when you could get your pet pig to trot into the fighting with it.
Poor thing; I hope it doesn't get turned into sausages!
What do you think?

Some cool looking stuff. Didn’t expect them to go with that base shape so that’s new. I wonder if it’s just an artistic choice or if it has some in-game relevance?
They’ve been using those bases for as long as I can remember drooling over their models.
great interesting looking figures.
whoa – never heard of these guys but some of those minis are amazing!
Those are some really nice/characterful minis and I could easily see them being useful for Mordheim or Frostgrave.
More brilliant figures from Tercio.
And as always I love the “Spanish” painting style.
The bases are not round to help with directional rules. E.g. the front three sides define the front of the character etc.
Check out their website for the rules.
Been ages since I have seen anything from these guys, stiil lovely models.
Yeah, they had some issues with fulfillment of their last Indiegogo campaign that they’ve only worked through recently that has put a kibosh on new releases. Good to see that they’ve got it sorted and can start putting out new product.
What I have of their stuff already are lovely sculpts, I’m just trying to decide whether to use the hex bases or something more generic to allow for use in more systems…
i’m impressed, lovely sculpts. I haven’t seen bases like that since the 80s.
is it just me or does the top one look like the clone wars count dooku.
Epic!
Thought these guys may have gone under as it has been some time since I last seen anything from them.
