Title: Khurasan previews War of the Spanish Succession French Infantry
Post by: Khurasan Miniatures on November 14, 2013, 07:07:50 PM

Here's a first look at the initial releases in our 15mm/18mm* War of the Spanish Succession range -- the "giant of the grand siècle," the French Army.

Fusiliers:

Grenadiers:

Standardbearers and officers:

Drummers and sergeants:

These will be sold in three sets--fusiliers, grenadiers, and command.

Following these will be cavalry and artillery, then the infantry of another nation (mums the word for now).  

Mike Broadbent sculpted these and Rafa painted them.  

These models are painted in the colours of the Regiment Royal, which fought at Blenheim, was present but not engaged at Oudenaarde, then fought at Malplaquet and Denain.  

These first codes will go up for sale as soon as I get them from the casters. More soon....

*they're 18s, but we call them this because some people consider 18mm to be "heroic 15mm" :-)

Not a period/scale I game in, but a very nice looking range nonetheless.

I have just assembled a 6mm WSS army, guess I need these for skirmish games :)

Nice sculpting from Mike - they're very detailed.

Lovely looking figures,if the title didn't say 15/18mm I'd have argued they were 28's,seem to have lots of character for that scale too.

They look very cool. If you could get a British agent to reduce the cost of shipping then this could be another period I'd start assembling unpainted lead for...
