During the course of the challenge I've kept a side stash of 10mm Malburian on the go, just doing the odd colour here and there in between waiting for things to dry, inspiration to strike etc. As I have been mostly side tracked building models I haven't got that much done. These 80 figs are in addition to the ones I posted earlier in the Challenge.
The first of the two units is a 40 figure Savoyard Infantry Battalion representing the Saluzzo Regt. Figures are by Pendraken and the flags from Maverick Models.
I really like the way the firing and high porte figs mix on this unit go together as if the front rank is firing whilst the second wait to step forward and loose their volley.
The second unit of 40 is a French Battalion called the Mauilever Btn, I've used the basic advancing, levelled musket for this unit.
So thats 80 figures at a point a piece for a nice round 80 points towards the total. I will have another post before the end of the Challenge. I've got two Pike and two shot stands done for my 28mm Spanish Italian Wars but I might get the last two Pike stands done for the Colunella before the close, so I will post later when they are either done, or I give up !
These minis look gorgeous. There is something striking about Marlburian units in any scale and you have done these up a treat. Nice work.

A very fine post, looking forward to your last post! Expectations are high!
ReplyDeleteCheers mate, it's all a bit of a panic, I thought the end of the Challenge was Tuesday, I've 16 figs to finish off and I'm just off to record a Podcast 😆
DeleteLovely work on these wee chaps, Ken! And good to see you knocking stuff out in another scale. :)
ReplyDeleteCheers Tamsin, these are a bit of a palette cleanser 👍
DeleteNice little uns
ReplyDeleteCheers Dave 👍
DeleteWonderful work, Ken. Isn't 10mm a treat to work on? Love the buildings as well.
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed doing these 10mm as a side project 👍 I have hundreds of figures for it, it's a failed project from 15 years ago or more 👍
DeleteExcellent work. More big units. Love them. Well done.
ReplyDeleteCheers, small scales work best for me with Big Units, gives a real feel for the size of Battalions 👍
DeleteHey Ken, Nice work. I have a tonne of Pendraken 10mm myself but dont have much knowledge of the period or the forces involved. I see you have done French. I was thinking maybe Swedes or Russian. Just need some refrence material for uniforms if you know of any.
ReplyDeleteI would recommend the kronoskaf.com website as a great place to start, loads of info (uniforms, orders of Battle etc) for the period 👍
DeleteVery nice army
ReplyDeleteCheers, just the two units 👍
DeleteI’ve worked with those Pendraken figures and it’s a lovely range. Yours look fantastic
ReplyDeleteThey certainly are and a joy to paint 👍
DeleteSuper cool models here Ken!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dallas 👍
DeleteGreat entry Ken, If I hadn't gone all in on 28mm I think that I'd be doing my Late 17th Century / Early 18th Century armies in 10mm
ReplyDeleteThis was a failed Project from 15 years ago, so it's nice to get it moving 👍
DeleteGreat units, I like the colour of the uniforms of the French. Well done, Ken!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks 😊
DeleteLove these Ken, you're tempting me into getting some at Partizan
ReplyDeleteExcellent work on these little chaps that seem to have a large amount of detail!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Wow, they look great!
