From Ray R - Almansa 1707 2mm Spanish Guard 31pts

 


More 2mm goodness from me today!!!
Most of the Spanish infantry that fought at Almansa were single battalions, but here in Valle's Brigade we have 2 regiments of 3 Battalions.

For any of you who may have missed it, I've posted an Idiots guide on my blog on, 
Its really not rocket science but gives you an idea why I wear glasses!


The Spanish Guard
Reales Guardias Valonas or the Royal Waloon Guard



and the Reales Guardias Espanloas or the Royal Spanish Guard


As per normal they are painted up using Army Painters Speed Paints, this time its Magic Blue.


Valle's Brigade fought in the first line Centre Right under Lt General Labadie


Each Battalion will earn me 5 points in the challenge with a further 1/2 point for their Brigadier Valle.
Making a total of 30.5 points

This project continues to grow in quantity, if not in scale. Great work on these elite guard units Ray. As usual I have rounded your score up a little to account for the flags.
