Title: French Army 1690's and earlier
Post by: WFGamers on November 16, 2018, 01:46:02 PM

Here are some shots of my French army for the War of the League of Augsburg (1688-97). I use them for the Twilight of the Sun King rules and also with Twilight of Divine Right for the era before this. The uniforms are wrong but......

Great looking army.

I have a collection of these fantastic Pendraken minis representing both sides.  I went for the 'mass' effect so an infantry unit has about 52 figures it, look good but a pain to paint them all lol

As for uniforms, there are a few sources out there including some WSS references that mention older dress codes

Extremely impressive en masse and looking good in close-up, you make 10mm look very tempting.

Brilliant work - Not a scale I game in, but they look spectacular en masse.

Great looking army, always good to see these Pendraken figures painted up. I am slowly painting up these figures, but there is a lot of detail on the uniforms so they do take a lot of painting.
