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.
These chaps do have a distinctly Latin or S American look about them - look forward to seeing their tabletop debut.
ReplyDeleteHopefully on the tabletop soon.
DeleteBe interesting to see how they do in their debut, certainly look the part!
ReplyDeleteSadly I find newly painted figures do poorly on their first outing.
DeleteNicely painted Troops there Tony- Are they 40mm or 54mm?
ReplyDeleteThey are Copplestone large 28mm-30mm figures
DeleteAnother 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!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind comments, hope they do well in their first game.
DeleteA very impressive-looking militia!
ReplyDeleteAll the best,
Bob
Thanks, the Copplestone figures are very simple to paint - very toy soldier.
