Cardinal Richelieu and his Guards

[SgtPerry]

I painted Cardinal Richelieu and five guards from Brigade Games sculpted by Paul Hicks.

I now have 14 guards, with the Cardinal and Rochefort



I will used them in  a boardgame The Three Musketeers: The Queen's Pendants http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/55863/the-three-musketeers-the-queens-pendants. The game has plastic figures but they are bigger (1/48?) and non painted. So I rather like to use mine, already painted.

Very nicely done Olivier. I always see Charleton Heston as Richelieu in the miniature designed by Paul.  I too have played the boardgame and quite well done too for how it's played out.

Rochefort?  Isn't that a kind of smelly cheese? 

Nicely done.  The colors on the guards are very effective.

Top work. Must get around to painting mine sometime.

How's the boardgame? worth getting? Could be interesting to recreate the board in 3D.

Tres bien!

I really enjoy the boardgame. 2-5 players and about 1 hour - 1 hour and half in length. The musketeers enter the Louvre Palace and must reach the queen before she meets the king. One of them carries the "ferrets" but which one? I like the turn card that gives a different activation order each time.

A 3D board? A friend already suggested me that! It's not easy for it's the Louvre so you can't have bare walls. It's tempting but I fear that I don't have enough time.
