After my mini flurry into Napoleonic's, I'm back onto my fav the Nine Years War!! I painted the French Guard earlier on in the Challenge, so I thought it only proper to paint up the other Guard infantry in the French army. The Gardes Suisses. The Guards fought at Mons 1691, Namur and Steenkirke both 1692.
The figures are of course from Essex minis, while the flags are from Maverick!. Like my previous Guard regt, All three figures on the front of the command stand have lost their original heads, they were all British Grenadiers once upon a time.........
From Curt:
Back to Nine Years War? You're absolutly incorrigible Rousell! (But we wouldn't have it any other way) Seriously, lovely work Ray. Those red coats with the black hats are as sharp as tacks and your paintwork is incredibly crisp as well (and good conversions to boot). Beautiful stuff Mr. Badger!
well done Ray!
ReplyDeleteI love your converted figures, I know that it's really hard to do in 15mm.
you will have to change your nickname from Mr Badger to Mr Robespierre if you cut off all the heads ;-)
Always a pleasure to see your submissions, these in no way disappoint

Very nice mate. (Can I say Yawn! to make up for Fran not saying it?)
ReplyDeleteLove them. I need to explore this era more if only I can find some one to make the trip with me.
ReplyDeleteNice Swiss Guards there Ray :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice indeed Ray. So much detail for 15s!
ReplyDeleteGreat work Ray.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff Ray! Nice to see you back to the 9YW. Cheers, PD
ReplyDeleteThey are very fine, Ray! Love the flags and those rich red coats! Swapping 15mm heads IS a chore, I just did one myself, not certain I'd like to try it again! ;)
