French Command Vignette and command base

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!

French Command Vignette and command base

Post by chema1986 » Wed Nov 05, 2014 12:51 pm

Hello gentlemen, after a long time without touching a brush... ( or just painting WW2 stuff) I have come back to late XVII c. this time some commanders for my French Army. I tried to emulate Turenne's uniform from a painting, but I want my french general to be generic enough to be used in the war 1672-78 and the League of Augsburg War. So I painted a French Guard officer and a french drummer with the slightly earlier uniform (without the livery of the king)
I painted some time ago Spanish Commanders and I will paint some more Spanish and German/Imperial Commanders ( Prince Eugene, Von Stahremberg, Türcken Louis...)

The small base figures are Warfare Miniatures' officers and the big one a mix of Front Rank, Warfare Miniatures and Northstar 1672. I think they mixed well this time... I hope you like them !

Oh Dear! :shock: :o

Chema, you have outdone yourself again! Very well done!
I like the Vignettes very much.

Cheers,
