I thoroughly enjoyed painting these squads up….. I love the ‘chunkyness’ of the North Star metals and they paint up nicely indeed

In skirmish games there is always an element of roleplay or story since you have individual models as distinct persons usually with personal stats and characteristics. These scupltures all lend themselves to a backstory for that figure, exactly what makes smaller scales skirmish games more enjoyable for me.

I honestly love how each nation’s units can have their own unique flavor. My first unit were Austrians because I wanted a half-vampire Dhampir, but I’m interested in playing a Spanish, British, or French unit next

The Sharpe's Sword episode character was Father Curtis, aka ex soldier El Mirador. Patrick Harper makes a deal with the Father & promises to marry Ramona for a sword, hence the episode title. I'm on my 6th re-run of this classic TV series which is available on KZfaq. I would choose the Spanish.

French is my default go-to but I intend to have a unit from every faction at some point, likely going with British next. At some point though, I intend to make an "American" unit since I plan to bring over a campaign to the still young US. I picked up some Black Powder Native American minis for them already.

You see, normally I would jump at the British after all the years of Sharpe, Hornblower and Barry Lyndons in life but I find the Spanish particularly captivating. I also think the idea of the Spaniards fighting to defend their home from supernatural threats a little more endearing than the Brits stomping over to save the world again.
