From RayR - French Grenadiers & Louis XIV (51 Points)

Yet more figures for my Donnybrook shenanigans I'm afraid.

In today's post we have French Grenadiers and Kings Louis XIV of France.

The first 4 French Grenadiers are from North Star's 1672 range.

They are a tad early for my period, with their rolled up sleeves,

 but boy they are great looking figures.

I'm afraid the detail just hasn't shown up in the photos, which is really a shame.

They are a joy to paint and come highly 

recommended that's for sure!

The next four figures are from Foundry's Malburian range.

Nice figures but a tad boring as they're all the same pose. 

As per normal the bases are from Warbases, the grass tufts are a mix of Warpainter, 

and Debris of War Scenics

Oops almost forgot 4 ladders, which needed painting and won't earn me a lot of points!

I picked these up at the Rochester Model shop of £1!

King Louis XIV

Now I'm sure I bought him from North Star, but can't find him on their site???

I wasn't sure what colour to paint him, so chose a uniform consistent with

the Guarde Francais.

So to the points

40 points for the infantry

10 points for Louis

and I guess 1 point for the ladders?

Very nice figures Ray. These are true 'grenadiers', eh! I have a few of the North Star 1672 figures as well and agree, they are absolutely beautiful castings - you've really done them proud here. I also like your waving 'Fun King', especially the lovely French blue of his coat. 

A point for 4 ladders? Hmm, okay. I think my original baseline intent of 20 points for an equivalent 6x6 cube of terrain has eroded somewhat. We may need to revisit the requirements for our next outing. Nonetheless, a point it is.
