Interesting turn to TOW, these Estelians look intriguing, but excited to see them develop. I still can’t ge used to the larger square bases of TOW

There's a list in setras furry. Though i will use bretonian brigands which you can upgrade into wandering diestros when you pick an estalian Diestro upgrade on your renegade captain or lord. Which i do, infact the following 24 are such skirmishing diestro musketeers.

Really keen to see how your Estalians shape up, this'll be a fun little project. What colour scheme do you have planned for them?

Many thanks. I am not yet entirely sure on the sheme. Probably somewhere inbetween IRL spanish 17th and 18th century.

The larger bases do make it easier for pikes and musks to be fielded as skirmishers.

f.e. This unit is a Skirmishing "crossbow" unit, meaning when i form them up in a peleton and seeing sightline rules i easily can unleash 24 bolts per round and have a WS 4 block that can force you to reroll hits in melee against them once per game.



Behold, the skirmishing Diestro line.
Rules technically, this are skirmishing vanguard crossbow armed bretonian brigands, upgraded into wandering diestros thanks to the armies lord. They are here to blunt assaults and harrass aswell as allowing me to increase my footprint in an significant area.

Those are some sweet handgunners.

That Tilean Army looks like it will be fun to paint.
I must resist starting new armies!
