The War of Spanish Succession... French Infantry Regiment Anjou.

Hurrah!


I've managed to finish another unit for this project..


French Infantry Regiment Anjou...


This is another eBay purchase...
I've had them on the painting desk for a while as they needed a bit more work than I had originally expected...
The Grey was rather grubby... so I had to match the colour and tidy them all up.
The Facings were a bit to light (at least I thought they were)... I mixed up a mid blue glaze and went over them.
The Piping and Buttons were the wrong colour...


Ha! well at least they weren't massively expensive...


Anyway after painting a bit here and a bit there they are done and have nice new Standards.


The Colonels Standard was from Maverick Models and the Regimental Standard was home made..





This unit saw action at...


Cremona...1702.
Verrua and Cassano...1704.
Calcinato...1706.
Toulon...1707.
Catalonia..1709-14.


The miniatures are as always Front Rank...

The paints are Wargames Foundry and Citadel...

Bases from Warbases...

The Flags are from Maverick Models...

Next on the table is some more command figures...


All the best   Aly

      Thank you Mark...
      I am not sure that I will ever consider this project truly finished.... there are to many pretty units and flags, but now that I am moving on to painting some command a game does seem much closer.

      All the best. Aly

    Superb unit: Love Maverick Models flags--he's an unappreciated resource (at least among US gamers, I've found).
