Title: Thirty Years War project : Spanish Tercios
Post by: Keraunos on 03 July 2025, 12:46:07 PM
Four big Spanish style tercios completed.  Most of the figures are Pendraken, mixing sets from the Elizabethan range with others for 30YW and ECW.

Lovely work Keraunos, your tercios certainly look formidable units  :-bd

I like your sabot basing ideas to make the unit make up as flexible as possible and breakdown into sub units rather than just having all the figures mounted on one large base.

When I was messing around with Tercios I used Impetus:Baroque.

I have Impetus : Baroque and keep meaning to give it a try but still haven't acted on that thought.  One day  =)

Nice work on these - and really good use of sabot bases to give flexibility to use figures for different units, which seems important for this era as formations changed a lot more that clothing did!
