1672 French - That Sun King Feeling

Well, it's been some time hasn't it.

Not much done on the "Classic wargaming" front, but a few bits n bobs elsewhere in the hobby, just to keep my paint-brush wet, and my appetite whetted!
.
I am allowing myself some "free-wheeling", just to have a dabble around at units I fancy for a while. So expect to see a few units and brigades here and there as I paint them over the coming months.



The first of these dalliances is, fittingly, a small force of 1672 French. Lovely range of figures, and I just took a real shine to them when I first saw them. So, I painted up a few - just enough to look neat and viable as a tabletop force.
These are now For Sale - see the 1672 French tab on the navigation bar above for details and more pictures!

Next up...? Well, that would be telling. But let's just say it might be French again- though which period, you'll just have to see -which is to say, I haven't fully decided yet! Suggestions in the comments box please!

Thanks for checking in...

Hi Phil,

wonderful to have news of you. I have painted some of the same figures which are very nice indeed. The Vermandois Regiment I painted featured recently in the refight of Steenkirk which my father and I had planned for a long time and accomplished at the beginning of this month.

all the best,

Stephen

Sun-King! You and your puns Phil! Good to see you blogging again, and some more of your beautiful figures. For me, it's got to be Mid 18th Century please.
Cheers

Very tidy Phil, I bought a hand full of Ebor miniatures recently for exactly the same reason, they look nice and the period is attractive.

Hmm, French for ummmm... ahhh, The Huguenots is a theme I'm interested in right now
