I have been putting my conquistadors together. I plan on using some in my pathfinder game. A little background on my game:
I have been playing with the same gaming group for the last 10 years or so. We alternate gamemastering and each of us has our own favorite system and does our own campaigns. Mine is pathfinder though it started in 3.5...
Anyway, there is a reoccuring enemy called the Theocracy. The setting in equivalent to 1500's/1600's europe. The Theocracy is kind of like the Holy Roman Empire combined with the vatican. They abhor magic and consider it evil and love and seek out technology (fire arms, steam mech like Iron kingdoms) and utilize slave labor from conquered people.
Anyway, putting together my conquistadors (who will be Theocracy in my pathfinder game) I searched Ebay for some artillery. Which led me to find some 1/72 conquestadors and imperial soldiers. Now these would lookd silly next to my conquidstadors... unless... I was thinking of making a unit of them. My players will think they are gnomes or other small folk conscripted by the theocracy... but in reality they are young boys like 7-10 year olds... as sort of a junior scouts unit. Like the boyscouts. Not meant as a combat unit but more to "toughen the boys up" kind of thing. I forsee ,my party killing this enemy then being shocked and dismayed that they killed children... I kind of just want to mess with them as they have been on a pretty good win streak when facing Theocracy units and are getting cocky. here are some images of the 1/72 minis i am thinking of...
What do you guys think? is it worth messing with my players? both sets are like $16 so not a major expense... I am thinking more is it worth messing with them? :)
