ALY MORRISON'S "BUTTERFLY" ADVENTURES IN THE WORLD OF WARGAMES AND TOY SOLDIERS

Saturday 21 July 2018

The War of Spanish Succession... Dutch Infantry Regiment Pallandt.

Hurrah!


Another War of Spanish Succession unit finished... The Dutch Infantry Regiment Pallandt.


These poor chaps have been waiting patiently on the desk while I was painting toys for the Partizan Game...
I was so glad to be getting on with them that I forgot to take any work in progress shots...I painted them in my usual way blocked in base colours a wash of Aly's Brown Liquid (I have added the recipe to the 'Pages' section ... just below My Blog List) then highlight with the original shade.


Coat and Socks... Citadel... Administratum Grey.
Cuffs and Waistcoat... Citadel... Averland Sunset.
Belts etc... Citadel... Balor Brown.
White bits... Citadel... Pallid Wych Flesh.
Brown wooden bits... Citadel... Mournfang Brown.


After a coat of Matt varnish the black leather and metal parts were given a coat of Tamiya Clear Varnish.








A nice looking unit I think, the grey and yellow go very well together.







The miniatures are as always Front Rank...

The paints are Citadel...

Bases from Warbases...

And last but not least Flags are from Maverick Models...

I will end with a question...

Do any of you lovely people out there in the blogosphere know what standards were carried by Walloon Regiments in Austrian service during the War of Spanish Succession?


All the best  Aly

    Can't answer your flag question but someone will know the answer, no doubt.
