28mm ECW Royalist: Foot regiment of Henry Tillier.



 This is the third foot regiment of my first Royalist battalia, the front line, and the only one I know of with it's own Facebook page. Apparently green was a colour associated with this regiment and the gyronny system was used on it's flags. Beyond that, the rest is my conjecture. Figures by 1st corps and flags from Flags of War. All that is left to do for this brigade is a general and two light guns.

28mm ECW Royalist: Foot regiment of Sir Gilbert Talbot


 Back in May 2024 I showed you the first of the foot regiments and that was the 'blue' regiment of John Belasyse. Here is the second and it is the yellow regiment of Sir Gilbert Talbot. I really like these 1st Corps figures, not just because 'unit deals' are well priced. The third unit of this battalia will be Henry Tillier's and that will follow soon.

I have always got to paint both sides (one of the problems of living in rural France) so I will follow my normal rule of 12/12 or about 12 units for each side to finish the armies. Flags are from Flags of War.

28mm FPW 1870:1st French Brigade


 Six battalions of the 1st French brigade under General de Brigade Montmarie.16th Chasseur regiment, three battalions of the 50th ligne and two battalions of the 74th.

That's about half of the infantry I have planned.

28mm FPW 1870: 3e Regiment de Tirailleurs Algerians,1st and 3rd BTNs



 I finally finished the second battalion of this Turcos regiment and so I show both together. I assume the second battalion is elsewhere and that the heavy backpacks have been dropped of along the road somewhere.

I'm planning about 12 battalions of French with attached artillery and cavalry. Six have been done. The Prussians will be about the same size.

28mm Napoleonic French: 9th Hussars



 

Two squadrons of this regiment.

28mm Napoleonic French: Vistula Lancers



 

I've had these sitting around for a couple of years so it was high time I finished the regiment. These are Warlord Games figures and I'm not the greatest fan of their horses but nonetheless I'm happy to add this unit to my Napoleonic French army.
