TYW Tercio
I have picked up a quantity of the wonderful 10mm figures from Pendraken. First forces I am having a go at are for the Thirty Years War.

ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan. Cleaning up bits and pieces that have been on the desk through the year. Hopefully I will keep going with some focus :)
DeleteLooks good! Tercios always look good on the table- whatever the scale!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment John. I’d always wanted to do one and can’t see me doing it in 28mm so I’m very happy to have found a good scale to do it in. The 10mm figures on 15mm Baroque scale bases also helps with rhetoric effect.
