My WSS Project for 2017

[Melnibonean]

I've started a WSS project this year. I'm doing French mainly because I simply like the look of them. I'm taking my time with getting the figures done and interspersing each regiment with other things (WWII/Sci-fi/etc). I've only done three battalions so far but I'll speed up my output once I've finished off some of the other things.

Anyhow, here are a few pics and there are a bunch more on my blog at: http://this28mmlife.blogspot.com.au/search/label/War%20of%20Spanish%20Succession

Looking forward to seeing how this progresses, fantastic start. Lovely painting and Ebor really are super figures.

Very nice figs and nice buildings too. Who makes the latter?

That's a nice start 

Just to be pedantic about it, the drummers of the Bourbon regiment wore the Bourbon livery of yellow/buff faced red rather than the royal livery of blue faced red.

Thanks for that. It can be easily remedied with these drummers removed & added to the next battalion and some correctly painted chaps moved into their place.

Yes, it's an easy fix, all the more so as the other three regiments in Montmorency's brigade all had their drummers in the King's livery. Feel free to drop me a PM if you have any questions about some of the uniforms as I've gathered a fair bit of material on the subject over the years.

Just out of curiosity, is the Bourbon regiment officer waving his sword a conversion of yours or was he supplied as is by Ebor ? (he's obviously a variant on one of the existing officers/standard bearers but I don't see the sword-armed version on the Ebor website).

He's not a conversion but I think he may be an artillery officer. I bought the troops as a brigade deal and this figure was the one that just happened to be in the bag.

Also, I'll take up you offer and send you a pm in the next couple of days regarding cavalry. I can't find much info about them and I'm a bit confused.

No problem, PM me whenever you feel like it.

I'll have to ask Nick about that officer, as I'd be interested in relieving him of several.

Good luck with this project!

I look forward too following this project and seeing more units as this is a period that I'm starting to have a growing interst in.

Also, love your brush work, I've never been able to get that 'flat' effect right!

[The Grim Mariner]

Very nice work indeed.
