Some Progress & New World 'Knights'

No armies actually finished yet but a little progress on the painting front:

7 x 3 Thracian peltasts (Tin Soldier 15mm)
(middle period so no highly patterned tunics but still light colours)

My take on 'Coyote Knights'
(Revell & Caesar 20mm)


A number of New World armies have 'knights' and I wondered who had what?  Going back to my primary source - "Armies of the 16th Century (2) Aztec & Inca Empires" by Ian Heath - I produced a grid for those 'knights' actually mentioned.

Alligator

Coyote

Deer

Duck

Eagle
Aztec Guatemalan Huaxtecs Mixtec Tlaxcaltec





Heron

Jaguar

Lion

Owl

Puma

Quetzal

Snake/Serpent

Seems like the Tlaxcaltecs had the greatest variety and most had both Jaguar & Eagle.  Will need to look at other sources to see if I can add to this table.
