Another One Bites the Dust

 

After completing the Aztecs (minus Hordes) I can add another to my Meso-American collection.  Appropriate really as the Tarascans were bitter enemies and often beat their more famous 'brothers'.

Given that this is a bow heavy army that's quite surprising.  However, as various fights in 15 & 20mm scales have shown, re-fights mirror reality (or history anyway).  

On a side note 3 of the elements are mixed Bw & Sp that are treated exactly the same as any other solid Bw.  I can't help feeling that there should be some sort of differentiation but can't quite figure out what it should be.

Next on the painting table are various fillers:

3 x Maya (2 x 3Ax & 1 x 4Bd)

5 x Polonesian/Melanesian (2 x 4Pk & 3 x 3Bd/Ax)

In the Meso-American world there are half finished trays of Toltecs & Mixtec/Zapotec - but I need a break from them.
