AHPC9 BLB - NYW Spanish brigade 1692

Back down to 15mm for my next Painting Challenge entry.

I've been promising myself that I'd paint a Spanish brigade for my Beneath the

 Lily Banners rules for a few years now. well 5 years to be exact, where'd that time go??

I bought a copy of The Spanish Armies of the League of Augsberg, here, after winning a competition which got the juices flowing.....

So here we are!

There are 4 units of infantry, 4 artillery pieces, a stand of Grenadiers

and 3 commanders. All the figures are from Donnington, which are not my usual 

goto company for my NYW figures. I bought 98% of this on ebay for  a bargain price.

Then had to top up a few bits and bobs. They are a little larger than Essex, but hey ho

beggars can't be choosers!

Spanish flags are a right pain, there were a quite a number captured at various battles

But we don't know which flag belongs to which regiment, with the exception of 

Tercio Aragon on the left. So I picked the ones I liked and added them to the regts.

All flags are taken from the book previously mentioned,

The Spanish Armies in the War of the League of Augsberg 1688-97

by Giancarlo Boeri, Josè Luis Mirecki and Josè Palau with Artwork by Robert Hall

available from The Pike & Shot Society

So by my calculations we have
4 x 21 figure units =  168
6 x Grenadiers = 12
12 x Artillerymen = 24
4 x Artillery pieces = 16
6 x Commanders = 24
For a total of 244 points!!
But Minion Lee awarded me a few bonus points taking me up to 250 points
and cementing me in 8th place in the Challenge.
