Silver Bayonet Spanish Extra Character figures

I have heaps of Spanish 28mm figures so decided to paint up all of the characters, plus more of the ones I am most likely to use, like infantrymen.

Here is what I have finished so far.

The Veteran Hunter is a character I like to take, but I find they are a bit expensive. Maybe when my Officer has more recruitment capability I will swap one of the infantrymen over for him

Veteran Hunter: (30)

Junior Officer: (22) Can be useful when fighting monsters or you need an additional “rider” but otherwise are a bit expensive.

Supernatural Investigator: (22) Again I am not sure they give good value for recruitment points so I generally give them a miss.

Artillerist: (10) At the moment there skills are only used in one scenario so I prefer not to use them.

Sailor: (12) Good value if you want to climb buildings etc. I have surprised opponents by climbing a tree giving him cover and more line of sight!

Marine: (12) I think they are just a more expensive infantryman,

Swordsman: (22) A nice character with 14 Defence, Indefatigable, and a fencing weapon. A good choice if you have the points.

Doctor: (10) Not worth the points I prefer to give one of my leaders the medic skill, rather than pay the extra points for a character tat is otherwise of blittle value.

Woodsman: (15). This is a figure available in the Carpathian expansion book. Has a rifle, is nimble, and can light fires. Good for lighting torches, but unfortunately lighting wild fires is not covered by the rules! The same cost as a grenadier so you need to make a decision as to what skills you are more likely to use, I generally take the Grenadier.

I still have a lot more Spanish to paint, but only a few I am ever likely to use. Another Officer is good if another player requires a team, as are some more infantrymen and grenadiers. The highwayman/woman is a “nice” option because the Foundry figures look so cool.

I will keep these on the painting table and when I am using a colour they require will gradually get the rest of the Spanish finished, but no hurry!

Spanish left to paint.
