SCW Nationalists

In a slight change to the Nationalist cause I decided to make a start on the regular army while I was awaiting the rest of the Moors. These first eight figures are all from Templar miniatures. A little rougher than the Empress figures, but they mix in well and they offer plenty of variants, which is a major benefit of the range.




I went for the army just to be a little different, most collections seem to concentrate on the more colourful parts of the Nationalist cause, Moors, Carlists and the Legion.

I'm now about 7 weeks into this project and thought it time for a bit of a stock take of where I'm at and what I still need as a minimum. I know I need to complete a platoon of Moors and the Nationalist army platoon and already have the figures. I can also complete the Carabinieros. I do have a Bofors AT gun for my International brigade, but will need to add some armour for the Republicans and atleast 1 AT gun for my Nationalists. Once these last figures are painted up I will have 3 platoons for each side with support options.

I definitely need to expand the Republicans to incorporate some socialist militia.  For the Nationalists it will either be an extra platoon for the army or a choice between some Carlists or Falangists. Plenty of time for a decision on that. I can also add dome additional support units, more HMGs, mortars, a section of Guardia Civil and even some Dynamenteros.

  1. This project is certainly coming on in leaps and bounds Neil. Nice additions and the stock take indicates just how much progress you have made. I thought a lot of the regular, mainland army stayed loyal to the Republic? When you come to add some more forces to the Republican side, dont forget the Empress Milicianas!
