Simple Conquistadors - Painting Wargames Atlantic's Plastic Kit [How I Paint Things]

Conquistadors were a mixed bunch. Though a few were trained military men, or a handful of Catholic clergy with a head for organization, in the main it was young men without experience looking for a way to distinguish themselves in their home lands or win glory (and riches) in the New World. Mostly Spanish and Portuguese, the Conquistadors explored, conquered, and settled wherever they found anything of worth... little concerned by the heathen natives that might be in their way. With a range of hats, helmets, and weapons that make them suited not just for the conquests of the New World but conflicts throughout Europe of the 16th Century, the Wargames Atlantic Conquistadors kit is a fantastic box of plastic.
