Grand Alliance "converged grenadiers"

OK, so after two years I've finally given in to having a section of the FORUM specifically set up to discuss painting techniques, display examples, show your latest projects and chat about this vital part of the hobby. Manufacturers please feel free to post up your sculpts, ask questions about what the gamers are after and generally promote your work.. no charge! Painters, please also feel free to post up your work for comment and critique. I can't promise the unreserved adulation characteristic of some other fora but I would hope you'd get constructive and measured comment!

Grand Alliance "converged grenadiers"

Post by chema1986 » Thu Mar 06, 2014 7:44 pm

Hi there , My Spanish armies need allies in order to slow down those French... So these chaps are my small unit of ad hoc grenadiers for sieges and all that stuff (i know its not 100% historical accurate). I wanted to represent a generic grand alliance grenadiers , so i put together some examples of regiments that fought on Flanders in 1688-1697 like Dutch blue guards, Royal Scots, Dutch Brandenburg regt. and an unknown Austrian one. Hope you like it!

That's a great paint job on your combined grenadier unit.

Great way of getting probably the most colorful unit on the table. Lovely painting too :)

I can only echo what everyone else is saying. I'm in the mood to do some converged grenadiers of my own now!
