15/18mm WSS Khurasan – Tattenbach Bavarian Regiment

The third of my Bavarians battalions.

 

15/18mm WSS Khurasan – Maffei Bavarian Regiment

 

Second of my Bavarians battalions – four are planned.

15/18mm WSS: Khurasan – Dutch Regiment Friesheim

 

15/18mm WSS: Khurasan – Dutch Regiment Pallandt

The first of the 4 planned Dutch battalions. I painted this one because I love the flags and yellow facings.

15/18mm WSS: Khurasan – 3rd Foot Churchill's

 

Another lovely battalion of 36 figures.

15/18mm WSS Khurasan: British Ross' Dragoons

 

In 1704, the regiment was renamed "The Royal Dragoons of Ireland". It's two squadrons served at Blenheim and Ramillies. I have now painted this unit in 28mm, 10mm and 18mm and the latter is my favourite scale for this period.

15/18mm WSS Khurasan: French Regiment Touraine, 2 BTN

 I'm am enjoying painting these 'big battalions' and here is the two battalions of French regiment Touraine. It's a regiment with a long and distinguished record and for much of the war it was commanded by Jean-Baptiste-François Desmarets, Comte de Maillebois who was promoted to brigadier on 19 September 1708, then maréchal de camp on 8 March 1718, lieutenant-general on 22 December 1731 and maréchal de France on 11 February 1741.

The lovely flags are, of course, by Dave Morfitt of Not by Appoinment.

15/18mm WSS: Khurasan – British Queen Dowager's Foot (Tangiers battalion)

 

Another 'big battalion' in 18mm. Each battalion of both sides is 36 figures strong. The British and Dutch foot will be based like this and everyone else will be based like the Bavarian battalion I posted recently. I also show a picture of them both together to show the depth difference.

In 1703 this regiment was renamed the "Queen's Royal Regiment of Foot, in honour of Queen Anne.

The only problem with these Khurasan figures is the fragility of the bayonets.

15/18mm WSS: Khurasan - Bavarian Regiment Harthausen/Mercy

 

I've long wanted to have WSS armies and I have tried a few scales – 28mm plastics from Warlord Games and 10mm from Van Dyck and Pendraken. They are both nice but as I get older I'm finding the smallest sizes more difficult to paint. So I think 15/18mm Khurasan are the best compromise plus they were sculpted by the late, and great, Mike Broadbent.

Here is the first battalion, a Bavarian one because I like the colour scheme. Thirty six figures total representing about 500 men in 4 ranks.
