More El Cid? Why not! Still one of my favourite ranges ever. There have always been various ranges of medieval Muslim soldiers available but GB really went for it with the Moors.

@jeff965.bsky.socialOur game in progress at Clotted Lard Exeter this weekend just gone.
Two hard fought sessions, with the allies (defending) just hedging it.
Game very loosely based on Leros 1943.
@benjstill.bsky.socialBash on Recce!! Finishing a British Airborne recce troop, tows and empty jeeps feels apt on the anniversary of the #Arnhem battle during #MarketGarden. 15mm #Battlefront jeeps with theirs and #OldGlory crew with some PSC headswaps. #HistoricalWargaming #Wargaming #WW2 #SpreadTheLard

@wisewolfpainting.bsky.social2 pounder AT gun builds complete, on to the basing. Got quite a lot of early war Burma stuff to paint up so going to work through a bunch of it this weekend. #CoC #spreadthelard #wargaming #15mm
@mogsymakes.bsky.socialHaving dived into medieval Spain, I started writing some Warhammer Ancient Battles material that eventually turned into the El Cid supplement in 2003. Here’s one of the pages, heavily illustrated with GB models.

@mogsymakes.bsky.socialSince seeing the 1961 El Cid movie as a kid, this period had intrigued me, and here was the chance to game it with some gorgeous new minis! I particularly liked the Moors and collected an awful lot of them.

While I was planning to do these posts in chronological order, I realised that I’d skipped the El Cid release in Nov 1997, as shown here in the advert from Wargames Illustrated.

@hutchinlondon.bsky.socialA trio of JOPs from any scale models. Nice little pieces. Quick and easy to do, just need varnish and then into the box they go.
