I seem to be on a roll with the French at the moment?
Dozevill's Brigade fought in the 1st line on the left wing under the Marques d'Avaray
They are based on 30x30 bases, which is half the size of the infantry bases, being 60x30.
Each base represents roughly 90 men.
In Dozevill's brigade were 3 Squadrons of French Courtbonne Dragoons, 3 squadrons of French Bouville's Dragoons & 2 Squadrons of the Spanish/Irish Mahoney's Dragoons.
The flags for all these units are purely speculative and taken from various online sites and changes in Microsoft Paint.
Mahoney's Dragoons
Courtbonne Dragoons
Bouville's Dragoons
Each Dragoon base is worth 2.5 points
So my Dragoons are worth 20 points
Brigadier 1/2 point
So a total of 20.5 points
Nice units. I think the cavalry tends to look better than infantry at this scale. Easier to discern horses and riders.
ReplyDeleteGotta agree, especially this code, I prefer these to the tight formation.
DeleteGiving me eye strain Ray, but nice job.
ReplyDeleteMe too Anon!
DeleteHow long does it take to paint an army that small?
ReplyDeleteThis lot probably took me an hour or so, from start to finish. The bases on the stands takes longer than actually painting the figures.
DeleteExcellent! You will be fighting Almansa in no time. You tempt me to dig through my photos from my visit to the Army Museum in Toledo where this battle was on display.
ReplyDeleteOoo yes please Jonathan!!!
DeleteNow this looks like a good scale to paint cavalry in....no messing around with all those bloody straps around the horses head! Great work as on all your previous work in this scale/collection.
ReplyDeleteYep, a few splodges for the horse, another splodge for the back and front of the man, a dot for the face and the hat.....and there you have it!
DeleteGreat work Ray, they look the part, super additions to your project.
ReplyDeleteThank you Donnie, I'm glad you approve.
DeleteDefinitely on a roll, and they look great Ray.
ReplyDeleteCheers Lawrence.
