Re: basing troops

3rd-ed, 4th-ed and 5th-ed. Spray Matt varnish is the Devil's instrument. Vallejo, brushed on is the way to go. And don't be afraid to slap it on.

Re: Huguenots in Ireland 1690/91

Great link Andy. I just spent 30 minutes reading through some of the text which is packed with interesting and question provoking data. Jan Wyck was a contemporary artist and was in Ireland at the time of the campaigns - that would substantiate to an extent, ANYTHING he painted. On the flip side of...

Re: Huguenots in Ireland 1690/91

Mike, might have missed something in the thread but what is OPW? IIRC? in this context. The data on flag colours is very significant. Where does that originate? The reason I am quite excited about that is that in 20 years+ of reading on the subject I have never seen anyone reference anything, anywh...

Re: Huguenots in Ireland 1690/91

It is not uncommon for descriptions to leave out that kind of detail although they could of course be the same colour as the coat. That's precisely what I was thinking in a - no mention because it's not different enough to mention - kind of way. I think what is useful to note is that our branch of ...

Re: Huguenots in Ireland 1690/91

Andy, I think you're safe on using the cuff colors you like. Every reference I have simple list their uniforms as unknown... This has actually got me thinking. Dangerous I know :wink: . Is it possible that the cuff colours are not mentioned anywhere, because they weren't coloured? Anyway, more to p...

Huguenots in Ireland 1690/91

This should probably be subtitled part 76 or something as I realise it's been done before, but anyway, here we go again :roll: . I'm planning to paint the three infantry battalions over the next few weeks and this is what information I have gathered together so far. Anything further to this would be...

What do the Highlanders depend on? Billy Connolly relaxing his image rights? :lol:

Re: New foundry releases

Not the bestest looking figures ever...but at least they have dismounted Dragoons in floppy caps and Grenadiers in tricorns.

Re: Gardes te Voet

These are some different flags I have used for the Gardes de Voet. These came from the "Wars of Louis Quatorze" blog. I changed some of the interior border line colors to get a slightly different look. I'm certainly no expert on this, but I think it would be highly unlikely just to see William's cy...

Hi Kris, These have been done before... http://www.leagueofaugsburg.com/fightingtalk/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2871 Note the facing colour is orange and I'd agree with Mike (Rebel) your tawny colour would match. Ray. The facing colour is only orange because I went through the exact same process that Kri...
