Another French (German) Infantry Command Stand.

 Hot on the heels of the command stand for the Regiment de Saint-Germain, I give you the command stand for the repurposed blue coated (with yellow facings) battalion that will represent the Regiment de Anhalt. The drummers posed an interesting question...how to paint them? They did not wear French Royal Livery so I had a choice, simply reverse the colours for the coat or be a little more creative. Reversed colours would make them very similar to the drummers of Saint-Germain so I chose to be creative. Here, the drummers are painted in Colonel's livery, being the green white and red of the House of Ascania, the family of the Colonel-Proprietor Prinz Friedrich Erdmann von Anhalt-Köthen. All figures from Crann Tara and the flags are home-made.

WAS/SYW French Infantry Regiment Saint-Germain Command Stand

 We need to re-purpose some troops to bring the French Army up to strength for the Battle of Minden refight in October. So, a few separate command stands will be needed to turn existing battalions with a similar colour scheme into Frenchmen...or in this case, a German regiment in French service. All figures are from Crann Tara, the flags are homemade and the Drummers are wearing an approximation of the Colonel's livery of the House of Saint-Germain.  

Crann Tara Palatine Pfalz Kürassier. 1740s.

 These chaps are Crann Tara French Fitz James' Cavalry figures from their WAS/SYW range masquerading as Kürassier in the service of the Rheinish-Palatinate 174?. The Cornet is a WAS Savoy figure from the Lead Pile....I neglected to order a French Cornet figure. 

WAS/SYW Crann Tara Miniatures - French Infantry Regiment Royal-Bavière.

I have had these on the go since February this year. The first battalion of the French infantry regiment Royal-Bavière, a German regiment in French service. Figures are from Crann Tara. The rank and file are the "Generic" infantry figures,  very useful figures with minimal equipment that, with the correct paint job, can represent a wide variety of nationalities of the period. The command figures are from the Crann Tara range of French figures. The flags are digital downloads from the Kronoskaf website, printed out onto paper. These will feature in my next painting guide that covers this period which is currently under production at Partizan Press.
