This army is mostly built of Essex figures, although in some cases taken from different Essex ranges to get more pose variety; there is also some custom work here and there with dental floss and thread.
This is a good stand for a General's stand for Granada in the middle and late 15th century. At this point the stand would be Javelin Cavalry, which is based two per stand, but I never feel guilty about adding a figure or so to the General's stand.
The banner and stand are very old, 25 years or so. That's when I was experimenting with painting banners on tinfoil rather than my current technique. It works well enough, but the paint tends to chip off the banner if it is flexed.
Two figures have dental-floss turbans or head thingies added. The central figure also has tassels added to his shield using thread. It looks great, but I wouldn't do that again. Very fussy.
All figures are Essex.
Bad Horse. Two of these figures are Irregular, one is Essex.
Sorry about the focus; I'll try to retake this picture in a week or so.
Javelin Cavalry.
Jinetes formed the best troops of the army, and were mobile and formidable.
Two shields have tassels added with thread; one of them had cast tassels on it already.
Figures are all Essex.
Before 1339 the heaviest cavalry of Granada fought much like their opponents, as Knights. This stand is painted up as one of those earlier Lancers, to allow me to field this army either later (with JavCav Lancers) or earlier (with Knights).
Figures are all Essex. The striped coloring is quite typical of favored fabric patterns in the time of Alfonso X "El Sabio".
The army of Granada was dominated by the use of Crossbows. This stand represents some of the best of those. Second figure from the right is Grumpy Miniatures; the others are Essex.
Heavy Foot. Most of the figures are Essex; there are two Grumpy figs. Some of them have dental floss turbans built up.
All of the shields are custom work -- metal sheet bent over a mandrill and hammered to cup it slightly.
Skirmishers.
These are Essex figures. Almost nobody has staff slingers, so these are taken from one of Essex' Byzantine ranges. Works fine for Granada.
Most of the Granada army relied upon peasant crossbowmen. These represent those figures. Most of the figures are Essex, but come from a variety of ranges including Seljuk and others. A few Grumpy figs are in there as well.
Granada and Andalusia includes some very distinctive architecture, including these keyhole-shaped arches which could be on small doors and very large gates both.
More discussion of this camp is on the Camps page.
The figures are Essex.
