This is the Paymaster model that goes with Midas the Mean.  I converted him into the Army Battle Standard Bearer as he is well suited for a Special Character representing Pancho, the sidekick to El Quijote.

 

Speaking of El Quijote:  This model is a Freelance Knight from the Mordheim collection.  He, too, seems to fit the El Quijote persona well, so this will be my main character in the saga of El Quijote in Estalia.  In the meantime, he most often serves as a Hero-level General for the army.

 

This collection of wizards has found its way into the ranks of Estalia, rather than languishing on the bench of the Empire army (in particular, because their colors did not coincide with the Colleges of Magic to my liking).  The Wizard on the left (who does second as an Amethyst Wizard from time to time) was painted by Tim Murray.  The other two models were painted by my brother Duncan.

 

This templar champion is a Battle Masters Knight who served duty as a character (and non-player character) during D&D games.  He has the heraldry to match the Knights Santiago, but the color is off.  Therefore, he seems best suited as a fully armored character on a barded warhorse.

 

Like the Empire, Estalia also has Priests accompanying them to battle.  (Although Priests are not part of the Dogs of War list).  This model is another D&D holdover from Reaper miniatures. 

 

Besides the Pikemen, the Swordsmen are the core infantry unit in a Dogs of War / Estalian Army.  My entire collection comes from Wargames Foundry (the El Dorado Collection) and they were painstakingly painted in various colors to represent the militia organization that is the backbone of the Estalian army. 

 

Because there were so many and such a variety of models, I copied most of the paint schemes directly from the Wargames Foundry website, rather than trying to figure them out on my own.  Josh Lyons painted about 1/3 of the Swordsmen, but I based them altogether, so it is difficult to distinguish our work at this stage.  The Banner was scanned from the Warhammer Ancients 'El Cid' book, where the structure of my own Estalian army came from. 

 

The banner with this collection comes from a Medieval banner sheet I picked up at a Wargaming store.

 

The Dogs of War list has the Swordsmen (called "Duelists") functioning as skirmishers to protect the flanks of the pikemen.  This is why I have 2 smaller units and one larger unit.  I envision the Estalians having Swordsmen play the role of a primary infantry line unit and skirmishing to protect the pikemen.

 

Close-ups of some of the Swordsmen.  The two in the middle are Josh Lyons' work.  I painted and attached all of the shields afterward.  The second from the right (green and bronze) has been chosen as the color scheme for the uniform of the State Troops when I decide to paint them.

 

The Dogs of War list uses Crossbowmen as the only missile troops.  However, Wargames Foundry has a nice line of handgunners in the appropriate attire and handguns cost the same in points as crossbows anyway.  Therefore, my version of the Estalian army will field units of each.

The Knights of Santiago are the elite knights of Estalia.  These use the rules for the heavy cavalry from the Dogs of War list.  Most of the models are Battle Masters with the Champion and Standard Bearer being Bretonnian models.  The banner and all of the penants are scanned from the 'El Cid' historical book.

 

The two Command models taken from the Bretonnian collection to lead the Knights of Santiago. 

(Notice I shot them on a green matt because they were getting lost on a white background).  The Champion is a 3rd Edition Bretonnian knight on a late edition warhorse.

 

Barring any Special Units at the moment, this cannon checks in as my only completed Rare Unit choice so far.  It is an old Grenedier model painted by my brother Duncan.  I like using the smaller cannon models to represent the guns that do not use the Great Cannon rules.
