War of Spanish Succession

[Bill Slavin]

Not my era, Rich (too bad you have lost your co-conspirators, hopefully they will be back soon!) but these look terrific. I really like your painting style, it works really well at this scale, meant to be viewed at a distance and in their multitudes!

Are that Santa's Elves with guns?

Great painted unit again!

[Rich W]

Thanks for all your positive feedback again!

Next up, the French regt of Boulonnais. This regiment was initially in reserve behind the village of Blindheim, but was unnecessarily sent into the fray by panicking French commanders and ultimately wasted as a fighting unit during a crucial time.

Real nice painted unit again!

Another wonderful unit for your WSS armies, Rich. In this case, the white and blue colour scheme of the uniforms is very striking and beautiful.

Santi.

Rich, lovely work.
Tell me about the "white" coats on the French. Which colours did you use?

A nice group of figures - and hand-painted flags! Well done!

Just fantastic Rich! A work of art!

[Rich W]

Thank you all for your very kind words!

Donald, I’m not 100% sure how I did these ones. Every French unit I’ve probably ended up doing it with different colours. No source seems completely certain on the colours of the time and the French regiments vary between whites and greys-so I just guess…most likely these are Vallejo sky grey, Army Painter Strong wash, Vallejo silver grey and then Matt varnish. Hope that helps?

A nice addition to the ranks.

Best wishes,
