On that note, Wyrm Forge did a Kickstarter last year called Wrath of The Gods featuring a mini of none other than “crazy Klaus” holding a zweihander :)
I considered using them to kitbash an IG regiment inspired by conquistador imagery, but I am not sure if they are similar in proportion to Cadian troops.
Great kit, useful for some other campaigns of late renaissance, such as early religious wars/Flanders, but not for 30YW, given that it happened a century later.
These would be great for modeling mid 16th century (1530-1570) generic troops, such as Italians, French, etc. They would go well with the Tudors/Valois French from The Assault Group, I’d wager.
I really like these minis and the color selection you went with for their uniforms! My favorite kind of pre-modern military uniforms have to be the colorful, eccentric ones belonging to these guys and landsknechts! I do feel a little silly that my brain immediately went to how to make them sci-fi for some kind of custom 40k guard regiment until you mentioned how great they would be as empire troop proxies though! I was wondering about how you would recommend using a brush-on varnish for miniatures. Would you recommend thinning the varnish down or applying it directly from the bottle/pot and just being careful to avoid pooling? I've been thinning it down and since it's meant to be transparent I can't really tell if I'm making it less effective, but I know I still occasionally get 'frosting' from where I accidentally let it pool. Excellent video and guide as always! I've used your anvils of the heldenhammer guide to paint nearly my entire army at this point, and I always pull it up when I work on it!
Most of the brush-on primers I've used benefit from using little of it on your brush at a time, and _not_ thinning them down. Frosting is often caused by the water reacting with the varnish, so best not to thin them much if you can avoid it. Some varnishes will take it better than others, but particularly extremely matt ones will flip out at a touch of moisture.
The one that sticks in my mind was "painting Horus Heresy Death Guard in 15 minutes" to which I was "how on earth is *this* a not very special one?!" 😂

Thank you , Troy .

I run warm water in the sink or a bowl and put rattle cans in there to warm up. Works very well. These came out very nice.
Use these guys for my Empire of Man army, Estalian region of course
Whenever I see a Morion helmet I think of Klaus Kinski going insane in the Amazon jungle.

@sbart23 cool! He'd look great in a game of sword weirdos going against vampires and zombies or some such
Where's the bases from? Good idea to make the puddle disappear a bit
They're the WGA bases, too. Double-sided 'lip' bases with a gap for a magnet if you want to mount them to something.
The over pants are often called trunk hosen
The Simple Conquistadors is a great band name. 😀
Great video. These are one of my favorite kits.
Sonic Tonic ftw! Great tutorial. Happy New Year!
I'm 100% convinced that blonde beard guy just doesn't wear pants.
cool Conquistadors. you could kitbash them to make some Trench Crusaders
Perfect timing. I just bought a couple boxes of these guys the other week :D
Ah yes time to get more resources for the homeland!

Are there even any "regular old" "How I paint things" ? Or are they all "very special" ? 😅

I think it's an 'amusing gimmick' that just stuck.
