For my self I'm currently adding figures to the Elizsabethan range (not a Pendraken planned range just me out of my own pocket) e.g

3 x Mounted command
4 x aquebusiers
2 x musketeers and rest
2 x unarmoured pike
1 x mount aquebus

I see on the request list a mounted spanish genitor, can somebody send me a picture(s) to work from?

The most distinctive feature of the Genitor (aka Ginetes) is the heart shaped shield, derived from the Moorish ones.



My mental image comes from Ian Heath's line drawing (tagged b here)



Some more images

Nice one Dave

[FierceKitty]

Important - genitors rode with very short stirrup leathers, like jockeys. They could well be wearing mail too.

[Techno]

Eh ?.....What ? 

Dave... Just tell me what you fancy....And I'll make the wee chaps.

Cheers - Phil....I really am NOT having a good day, for a Sunday.

[fred.]

I'll look forward to these.

[Leman]

Would definitely buy at least one pack to add to my newly acquired Spanish army, but please no puffling pants, the earlier types didn't wear them.

Yet more temptation comes my way!

Why should sunday be any different in Wales, and I suspect Dave wants good masters !

[Techno]

I thought Dave had already got good masters.

Andy....Some have already got those, I'm afraid.

Kitty...I've done matey with short stirrups.....But mail is a b*gger to do on a mounted figure, as the horse's head gets right in the way of the chest on a figure.

Cheers - Phil

Separate shield which can be glued to hide the sculptural shortcomings in the pectoral zone?

[Techno]

Too late.

Too fiddley on a finished model.

Phil
Has sent me a pic of the finished figures and its the dogs b*****ks .  Cheers Phil you've done it again.

Well it won't be the Collie then. 

[Techno]

Thanks, Dave !

No, Nobby...It won't be the collie. 

She IS a bit of a 'tomboy' though. Cocks her leg to have a pee, and does have the habit of trying to h*mp  my shin occasionally. 

Cheers - Phil

What's the best rules for this period?  Just in case I ever get tired of bush wars !

[jaztez]

I'm confused.  Are these guys going to be available to buy, or are they being sculpted for a private order?

I really hope we can buy them, they would "work" for the Italian wars!

The figures will be available to buy, its just not a planned Pendraken range.

A bit like an unplanned pregnancy   

Seriously - I remember 1988 - there was a spate of demo wargames in 25mm to commemorate Spanish Armada and "what might have been invasion".   Lots of Tudor era houses for scenery and perhaps a few 1/144 or near enough ships/galleons.

What rules are recommended for the period?
