To add to my collection of 28mm figures for skirmish games, I ordered some villager figures from Garrison Miniatures via ebay. I chose this specific set because I felt the clothing of the figures were generic enough to allow them to do double duty: for our Ruckus Reconquista games, and our Fistful of Lead Peninsular War games.
To provide our Barons' Wars figures with more opponents, I also bought and painted a sprue of Gripping Beast's Arab Infantry. This brings my total "Saracen" force to 20 foot and 6 mounted figures, which will be sufficient for most skirmish scenarios.
I have also ordered a box of Perry Miniatures' new Spanish Guerillas, which will give us more options for our Fistful of Lead games.
Great additions to your collection! The versatility of the Garrison villagers is a smart choice — figures that can pull double duty across Ruckus Reconquista and Fistful of Lead scenarios are always worth it. Your growing Saracen force sounds nicely balanced too; 20 foot and 6 mounted should give you plenty of tactical flexibility for Barons’ Wars skirmishes. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the Spanish Guerillas — those should add a lot of character and narrative flavor to your Peninsular games.
