This blog is to share my main hobby which is painting and wargaming with miniatures. I paint and play historics, fantasy and sci-fi, from 6 mm to 28 mm.
This is it. I have finally painted my non official army of the Royal Conquest of the Canary Islands, and soon you will see a video batrep on my youtube channel with Conquistadors vs Guanches.
Full army: 1 x General, the royal apointee and his small mounted retinue (3Kn), 2 x some gentlemen adventurers (4Bd), 4 x Castilian infantry from urban militias (Sp), 2 x urban militas (Sp) or native allies (Gomerans used in Gran Canaria and Grancanarians in Tenerife) (5Hd), 1 x Jinetes (LH) or native allies (Hd), 2 x Crossbowmen (Ps). Terrain type: Litoral. Aggression:4. Enemies: I/65.
These are the spear urban miitia, done with only three poses, so mirrored all models and Iswapped some head as well.
Close up of knight General and LH.
Close view of 2x4Bd. The first from the left is got more vegetation because it is going to be used in the IV/19c Spanish and Tlaxcalan army that I am already painting.
This church is going to be either a Camp or a BUA (Edifice). The fort that came with the KS will be painted together with the Spanish & Tlaxcalan army.
Hello, this is a project that me and two friends have started with the idea of spreading DBA into the Spanish speakers community as well as getting more players in our city.
As you know, DBA is written in English and mainly played in UK and USA and moreover, it is written in Barkerese, so it is really difficult for non-native English speakers to understand and play this game, and even more difficult to reach new players, being DBA so niche and with that format as opposed to other modern rulesets.
In Spain there is a great community of DBA 2.2 thanks to the wonderful translation and support with many annual tournaments from the guys of La Armada forum, but we play 3.0.
When I started to look for videos of DBA 3.0 battles, I could only find games in English, so I thought we could do the same as some people from La Armada are doing with the 2.2 version, a Youtube channel for Spanish speakers in which we are going to share our games as well as some tutorials for beginners.
Although it is in Spanish, everybody is most than welcomed to our channel as you can easily switch on subtitles and then set your mother language. As an extra bonus, you can also practice and learn some Spanish when listening to the reports ;-)
Our first video is not very good as we have never done this before, but the second is better and third which we are releasing next Sunday will be better.
