First 10mm painted

[Szymon]

Great work !

[Fenton]

Very nice work

Agree with the comments about the red...The Vermillion red from Vallejo would make a nice highlight for the colour already there

Very nice painting, but they look more like Prussian fusiliers to me.

[Ken]

Thank you for all comments, I really appreciate it.

These were given to me after I expressed an interest in trying 10mm. The card with them said they're MAL9, and since I have zero knowledge of this period I went with what I could find online. 

I think you're right, the red should be brighter.

What scale are you used to Ken?

I've been painting 6mm on and off for the last 2 years, with and occasional 15mm here and there.

Must feel like painting giants 

I moved from 28mm to 10mm!

Looks really good

Take care

I've had another close look at the photos and I think they are MAL 09 which means they are Marlburian grenadiers in short mitre, about 50 years before the Seven Years War. They are definitely not SYW Prussian grenadiers.

Yes indeed, just got my army pack and the grenadiers in that are different to your pics, still a lovely job.

Thank you for the information.    This will be helpful when I go to build an army around these.

Good work indeed

[jambo1]

Yes go for the marlburian era, great one to wargame and plenty of great figures in the catalogue too.

What he said.

Though of course it will soon be eclipsed by the League of Ausberg range when the "Witchfinder General" and the "Cuirassier with an upset tummy" gets added.

[Hertsblue]

Nice work, especially for a first go.

(though they aren't SYW grenadiers, they're from the Spanish Sucession era  )

Clib is, of course, right in both respects. The SYW grenadiers would have taller, more pointed mitres and turnbacks on the coat.

Don't let it bother you, though. The WSS is an equally nice period to game and your painting is excellent.
