Great looking Tercio! A really favorite period of mine. I've discovered  form some more currently published works that uniforms were more common than was thought previously. So I'll be taking a more uniform approach to my four armies of the TYW.

Thanks Terry.

Can you share where you have seen the references to greater 'uniformity'.  I have been battling with this question and had landed on a lack of it.

Thanks

These are great!

[Westmarcher]

Agreed! Very nice. 

(btw, with that basing system, hope you like playing Baroque)

Are those firing musketeers from the ECW range or the TYW range?

Rct, I have encountered several sources recently, with the best being Laurence Spring's "The Bavarian Army During the Thirty Years war 1618-1648". His chapter on clothing the soldiers covers not just the Bavarian's, but just about a little of every nation.

Not sure where you're located so listed both the US and the UK.

Brilliant - thanks Terry

Yes - we love it.  Playtested it and also the new version of its older cousin Impetus.

Also struggled to find anything else that comes close to the period.

Leman, they are a mixture.  I wanted a variety of poses.  Have bought EC14, 28, 36 & 37 as well as YW1 and mix them up.  No loading figures though on the tercio.  Will keep them for the P&M units that are primarily firing.

Really like it! The huge single base will look menacing in a battle!

[Womble67]

Looks very good indeed

Take care

I really like these bigger bases, nice work.

[Tarty]

Glorious...looks amazing. Can't wait to see these chaps on the table, substantial !! comes to mind.

[jambo1]

That tercio is very impressive, love the big base and all the figures, really works well. Superb!!!

[MAgamer]

Wow! Great work with both painting and modelling, not just a great wargaming unit- a cool diorama too. Is the TYW the period with Viggo Mortensen running around Spain with his rapier? I haven't really read any of the history around the period (as you can tell), is there a good starting point for literature you could recommend?
Keep the pics coming, would love to see more
