Axebreaker:
Thank you guys! :)

@Robert

Playing El Cid at TTU could be a possibility and regards to us having a game if I do bring it, then sure......if you actually come that is. ;) I haven\'t decided if I\'ll make an Impetus Samurai or Romano British army for TTU(depends on who is interested), or join in on the Naps and play WAB El Cid.

@Lothar

The whole entire army is a mix of Perry, Artizan, Crusader and Conquest miniatures.

This is my latest instalment of Caballeros Hidalgos for my El Cid army
with some more of the noble sons of Spain now pictured here on a full
tilt charge led by an inspirational cantador featured on the black
stallion with a small guitar strapped to his back.


A cantador was a form of bard that would sing stories of knightly
adventures and virtues which was to help inspire the knights to exert
themselves to feats of valour.......and sometimes it worked and
sometimes not.


Again the models are done with AP with extra highlights added except
shields and banner which are completely hand painted from start to
finish.


Just one more unit of Caballeros to go and that will complete the army
for the event. I\'m struggling to get it done, but I think I\'ll make it.
Thank you for viewing. :)

J.S.:
Considering the fact that most people hate painting cavalry, your output of (great looking) painted knights is just astonishing   ;)

Axebreaker:
First off J.S. I wish to say thank you! :)

I won\'t kid you in the fact that it\'s been a tough challenge painting an all cavalry army especially when one bears in mind I usually prefer painting and playing infantry armies. However, as of late it seems the armies I\'m either thinking of doing or actually doing contain a healthy amount of cavalry and so I\'d better start to like painting horses more! :pinch: I think the problem with most folks(myself included) is trying to decide where to highlight the horses unlike infantry where it\'s usually pretty obvious.

I won\'t lie and deny that I\'ll be pretty happy when I finish the last unit of Caballeros and I can get a break from painting horses for a bit of time! :sos:

--- Ende Zitat ---

..and that\'s the reason why my crusader spanish disappeared in a shoebox one day, waiting for the day of their glorious return which will probably never come  :whistling:
But I have to admit that this problem is more or less exclusively limited to 28mm miniatures; in smaller scales like 10 oder even in 20mm I more than once had the problem that the infantry: cavalry ratio reached some quite unhistorical dimensions  ;)  (Ok, when dealing with 20mm plastics is do not highlight at all; white primer > thin coat of a tamyia color spray, probably brown > army painter >horse done; fairly simple, but effective )
