WSS quiz

[maciek]

I've just finished very nice looking unit from WSS.

Try to guess, what is it ...

[maciek]

nobody ?
maybe some hints ?
well ... they are Germans

[clibinarium]

I think I know, but don't want to spoil the fun yet!

[nikharwood]

I'll have a guess [& it is...]: Swabian grenadiers?

They look lovely, whatever they are 

[Pawel Chrzanowski]

I know them and best news for me is  : I don't have to paint them for Maciek he did great work  !!

[clibinarium]

I should guess too, rather than trying to appear I actually know! Are they the grenadiers of the Leibregiment of Wurttemberg? I had a look through From Pike to Shot, they seem closest to these figures

[goat major]

i have no idea but they really are little beauties - great paintjob. Oh no - I have a WSS itch starting - please make it go away 

[maciek]

Yes, Clibinarium !
They are Wurttemberg Leibgrenadiers !
Whole regiment of guard grenadiers, who fought at Blenheim alongside two others Wurttemberg battalions - Hermann and Sternfell.
I based uniform on From Pike to Shot and some additional info found in one of yahoo groups.
And here is regiment Sternfell:


Thanks guys ! Hope, you enjoyed it, there is more to come.

[Ben Waterhouse]

Very nice! Love the flags.

What rules are they based on?

[maciek]

Thanks Ben. Flags are printed.

And about rules, do you mean, what rules we use for wargaming ? Our own, not completed yet. Based on Polemos, but with major modifications. Generally, one stand equals one battalion or 2-3 squadrons.

[maciek]

Ok, guys.
Let it be neverending WSS quiz.

Here you have some pics of my latest work.
Try to guess the name of this regiment.

[Pawel Chrzanowski]

nice painted horses - my nightmare

[Grenadier]

OK, I'll bite.  I can't find a flag pic, but I'll guess that it is Wurzburg's Fechenbach Dragoon Regiment.
By the way, I haven't found a really good web source for early 18th century flags, any suggestions?

OK, I'll bite.  I can't find a flag pic, but I'll guess that it is Wurzburg's Fechenbach Dragoon Regiment.

AFAIK Wurzburg regiment didn't have multicoloured carbine belts. And this regiment does. (It was first hint  )

[Grenadier]

Ach du lieber!  Then my last attempt will be one of the Prussian Dragoons Regiments: Lottum, Ansbach, Markgraf or the Leibregiment, they all had grey coats, blue cuffs and blue/white  schabraques.  I know nothing about the carbine belts.
