Making my own Pirazzos lost legion
Mathi Alfblut:
As I am reassembling an Empire army I am reaching the limit of my collection of miniatures..
As I am using Warhammer Armies Project I have easy access to all army books, among them Regiments of Reknown.
I have a bunch of 17th century Warlord games pike & Shotte minis from a long ago abandoned project.
They are a bit small compared with GW stuff but at the same time I really need more soldiers and I started to think that "what the heck" they could look well enough.
Then I got the idea to make the muskets count as crossbows and make my own version of Pirazzos lost legion. They would have another name but be a Estalian mercenary regiment commanded by a captian Alatriste.
I am in the idea stage for now but any input is welcome!

Atlantic Games produces a conquistador plastic boxed set that might work.
Rowsdower:
When I tackled the same issue back in 2010, I used Empire spearmen from the Empire detachment boxed set. The miniatures were a close enough match. I just failed at making 'Conquistador' helmets for them out of greenstuff
opendialog:
: Flesh out the backstory for Captain Alatriste and his mercenary regiment. Consider how they fit into the broader Warhammer lore—what motivates them, where they come from, and how they interact with other factions. This narrative element can enrich your gaming experience and provide a compelling reason for their inclusion in your army. You might even create specific scenarios or missions that feature this regiment prominently, further integrating them into your campaign.

To be fair: the Morion helmet was not the helmet of the first Conquistadors (including Pizarro=Pirazzo), as it only came into use around 1540. So, you did not really fail at all.
