PanzerKaputs' Blood and Plunder
European Land Forces, Hell Yes, Its the Regulars.
Now these are nice CAD design sculpts and are nicely detailed and look about right for the later part of the 17th century. early part of the 18th century. I have to admit my only gripe is that they are not as clean a caste as for War Banner but they do clean up nicely and once done look good.
I have decided that I will be adding these to my French force, but wanted them generic enough to be used with any of my forces but especially the Spanish. So I used “Armies and Enemies of Louis XIV” as a reference as the book covers not only the Glorious Sun King but also the English and the Dutch. This is helpful as I have two boxes of the European Colonial Militia and the others I am looking at painting for the English.
So I am gone for the simple Army painter method of block colour, I have used Vallejo Model Colour Sky Grey for the coats as it is a wonderfully light grey that is light enough to be grey or white. Grey for the French, white for the Spanish, and even work of others colonial militia.
I have based them on two units, the grey coats, blue trousers, red cuffs and stockings are Regiment La Reine and the grey coat and green trousers, stockings and cuffs are Regiment Sourches. I’m happy with the way they look and now it’s onto some Dragoons.
Great take on the game and very well painted minis…oh, how I am always tempted to start some freebooting seeing this game..
