The War of Spanish Succession... French Dismounted Dragoons

Greetings...


This is another of my eBay purchases...






As before I spruced them up a bit... gave them a wash of Aly's Brown Liquid and a highlight...


The Coat ... Citadel... Evil Sunz Scarlet.
Facings... Foundry... Lemon 1B plus some Foundry... Ochre 4B.


According to Charles Grants... The Armies and Uniforms of Marlborough's Wars ,this unit is either...
Fontbeausard or Wentigny... but I am not sure about the caps... I may come back to them when I get round to painting the mounted versions.


  







This was a quick and enjoyable unit to do....


The miniatures are as always Front Rank...

The paints are Citadel...

And Wargames Foundry

Bases from Warbases...

I have now come to the point where I have to order more miniatures... some command and a couple of French units I think...


All the best  Aly.

    Another very fine rehabbed unit for your WSS army. How often can you find WSS figures on eBay?

      Thank you Jonathan...
      Sadly not as often as I would like... especially as I am trying to stick to Front Rank figures...

      All the best. Aly

      Thank you Mark...
      All of the dragoon command are rather nice...
      I can see me having more than one French dragoon regiment.

      All the best. Aly
