These Mayans are designed for the period when they were in conflict with the Conquistadors (i.e. post Toltec) but can be used for conflicts with other Meso-american peoples. The command figures are taken from the murals in Chitzen-itza from an earlier period, as no sources for command figures from the later period have been found by us. As the figures depict animals that were held as sacred in both times, it has been assumed that the costumes were still applicable (and they look great!)

I just had to share the fantastic paint work of Neil Burt with you - these figures are some of his best work to date in my opinion. It's hard to get the feel of these from photos, but 'in the hnd' the figures look absolutely sinister ..... just as they must have appeared to the victim! Well done Neil, keep them coming!

More pictures of these (and many other figures) can be found at Neils yahoo gallery LINK

and the 'Feathered Serpent project' (the seige of Technotitlan') gallery is an abolute 'must see' LINK
