It's Good to be the King

(with apologies to Mel Brooks!)

The King of Batrachia, King Leroy XV, out inspecting the troops. The Queen, Marie Suzette, was introduced back in http://soweiterleague.blogspot.com/2007/08/royalty-and-natural-pfilosopfy.html


The drummer for the Cardinal's Guard - for the rest of the current compliment of the guard see http://soweiterleague.blogspot.com/2008/10/thecardinals-guards.html


A grenadier playing second fiddle while the commander relaxes - part of the vignette previously published in http://soweiterleague.blogspot.com/2008/11/brief-recess.html

Very nice! 'Character' figures can add a lot to a wargame. Keep up the good work!

I particularly like your choices for painting the King . . . a great palette of colors for him.

Thanks, guys! It's always encouraging to get some comments.

CWT, yeah, that's one of the reasons I like the Foundry minis. Lots of characters and variations.

Really, Rafa? I'll have to look that up and see. lol
Jeff, the lighting may make it look a bit off-white (pinkish? on one side), but the colors are basically white and gold.

The King is actually a figure from a Foundry set of duellists, one of the seconds I guess. But as I prepared to paint him I realized he was really the King of Batrachia!
