League Of Augsburg - Fighting Talk

Hello everyone! I have been reading this forum for almost a year... But finally i decided to register and post something
I fell in love with this period when I saw part of Barry's collection in Warlord's Pike & Shotte. So i put aside my other projects and began buying and painting armies for 1660-1700 period.
By now, most of my miniatures are Front Rank and North star 1672. I also have some foundry , wargames factory and of course Warfare Miniatures (sadly i have not found any retailer here in Madrid)

Here are the pics ( Sorry i'm new and do not know how to post bigger photos , so you'll have to click one or two times in the pic)
Tercio de Córdoba or "Old Greens" The flag though historical, is conjetural, it's not posible to asign a certain flag to most tercios of this time.




Tercio de Madrid or "Old Reds" (conjetural flag)



Tercio de Sevilla or "Old Purples" this one is from a slightly earlier period, and will become "Castilla Regiment".




Dragones de Valansart (dragoons of Valanzart) they are based in skirmish order . The flag is from excellent 's boeri "spanish armies of the league of augsburg war" book



Tercio Viejo de Dragones (old tercio of dragoons)



Spanish Artillery: These are Wargames factory... i bought them for their price, but i am deeply dissapointed with the quality... I'll post a comparisson pic with Warfare miniatures artillery soon.



Finally a Command base with a Spanish General... Probably Marquis of Gastañaga or Duke of Villahermosa, both Generals and Viceroys of Catalonia or Spanish Netherlands. Sorry for the pics quality



Well enough for now... I have also painted a front rank tercio of Toledo "Old Blues" but sadly is in my hometown, Cartagena so i won't be able to post it until i go there.
Hope you like them !!
Cheers

I like them very much!
It's good to see something different from the usual armies you see.
Cheers

Absolutly wonderfull, fantastic painting, great colors, also cudos for beeing patriotic and doing your own country!!

Thanks Friedrich Augustus, i have some flags from flags of war... they are stunning ! have gardes françaises, gardes suisses, la couronne and dillon regiment for my slow growing French Army. And the Spanish flags are post 1707 after Philip V reformed the army and abolished the tercio, so i need earlier flags (1670-1707 more or less )
I knew Maverik Flags but haven't seen them already in the pole with miniatures... so I dont know it quality.

Gunfreak thank you

Of course! hehehehehe despite being and unsuccesfull war for Spain, I like to collect my own country armies of this period because they are rather unique and full of colour.
