The Republic de los Cocos Militia


One of the forces that make up the Republic's army is the militia, uniformed in cheap brown uniforms they are usually know by the nickname "la cigarros"- because of the tobacco coloured  clothing. They are only lightly armed without any heavy weapons and vary greatly in efficiency on the battlefield. Having got these finished I'm going to get them onto the table to take part in a game.

  1. These chaps do have a distinctly Latin or S American look about them - look forward to seeing their tabletop debut.

    1. Sadly I find newly painted figures do poorly on their first outing.

  3. Nicely painted Troops there Tony- Are they 40mm or 54mm?

  4. Another excellent unit Tony! I love their nickname and they look great! Militia units are always a gamble, I can't wait to see how they behave on your table!

    1. Thanks, the Copplestone figures are very simple to paint - very toy soldier.
