FEATURED REGIMENT: Prinds Georgs Regiment - Danish Infantry

As they appeared in my collection before disbandment 2009

Barry Hilton - I was originally attracted to paint this regiment because they had unusual orange facings. Well in 1992 when I first discovered the joys of the period that was pretty unusual! For some reason I and the gang got into habit of calling them Prinds Jorgen’s which is not I think correct. No idea where that came from. They are a...

In the Shadows of History: Battle of Newtown, 31st July 1689. Part Three

Scenario Construction

I have created a basic scenario with three additional options. All are listed below;

Clarence Harrison - The Danish Royal Life Guards or Den Kongelige Livgarde til Fods is the first unit of Warfare Miniatures I painted when I kicked off my 1690 project in December 2011 and it is still one of my favorites from the collection.

Forthcoming Gardes Françaises Models

Clibinarium - Some preview pictures of two packs of Gardes Françaises that should be released in a few weeks time. These figures have been based on the images found in Giffart's "L'Art Militaire François"of 1696, an illustrated drill book for French infantry, which shows the uniforms of the Gardes Françaises, in detail unusual for the time. Presumably the Gardes were taken as the model for all...
