The Aztecs - Cuachiqueh Captain and Warriors

The Cuachiqueh or "shorn ones", were another professional military order in the Aztec army and are generally likened to special forces. Like with the other military orders, entry into the Cuachiqueh was gained through the taking of captives for sacrifice, though exactly how many were required for becoming a Cuachiqueh seems to be the subject of debate. It doesn't help that not all captives held the same value. Some opponents who were considered weak, would earn the soldier less credit than taking a more respected enemy.

These splendid prepainted 60mm figures by John Jenkins Designs represent one Cuachiqueh captain and two warriors. All three have very dynamic action poses.
