League of Augsburg - French

 Part two of my LOA Pike and Shot armies - the French

The French LOA Army pack from Pendraken in 10mm

Flags are from the WarFlags pages in the internet archive www.warflag.com

All units painted with contrast paints except for swords, muskets, pikes and faces.

Artillery


Cavalry - Dragoons

Cavalry

Dismounted cavalry or skirmishers, as required

Infantry - Champagne Regiment - I matched the flag to each regiments cuffs

Infantry - Lyonais regiment

Infantry - Normandie regiment

Infantry - Picardie regiment

My completed French army.

The contrast paints worked well. The blue works better than the red.

So second off the painting desk for 2025 is another 3 guns, 30 cavalry and 120 infantry.

Surprisingly it only took me less time to complete than the allies. About 10 days.

Next up we are off to the Sahara and other North Africa deserts.

  1. Nice work Ben - now that you have both LoA armies painted, I expect to see a game in the very near future!

    1. Oh no. More peer group pressure. Will I buckle? You know I will 😂
      But I am off on a two week holiday on Monday so it won't be soon.

    1. Thanks Stew. Did you notice I colour matched the standards and their coat cuffs? Extra special planning by me.. 😁

  4. Excellent background to the photos, it sets off the figures well; they look the business!
