Gobzalo Pizarro's Conquistagobs


I came across the ShortWars range and couldn't resist the brilliant sculpts - the goblins in particular caught my eye! I think they'll work great for an En Garde! force and while I've probably got too many I couldn't choose what to leave out so decided to prep them all!

First up, the leader, Captain Gobzalo Pizarro himself:


He's armed with dual pistols and sports a mean 'tache.

Here we have (L-R) Lorenzo de Aragon, the wealthy patron of the Conquistagobs, and Hernando the Mad, Gobzalo's right hand goblin (and all round psychopath):


Next up are some hired foreign bodyguards, Konrad (with the hammer) and Heinz (with the sword):


Here are (L-R) Father Salvador, Beatriz and Alvaro:


Now on to the rank and file conquistagobs! First the sword and buckler-armed (L-R) Benito, Carlos, Felipe, Esteban, Hernán and Mateo:


And rounding out the warband, the musketgoblins (L-R) Sancho, Jorge, Hector, Garci, Diego and Alonso:


The sculpts (by Kev Adams) are superb; full of character without being over the top on the detail.  I negotiated a special bundle price and received a few bonus items including the minis for Father Salvador and Beatriz.
