Belts and straps will be black, I'm thinking, and the cuff trim and cravat might be red. I am uncertain of the color for the pockets, and the leggings will be a cream color with red trim.

Lesquins, part 2
Just a small bit of progress; here is my first attempt at a scheme for the uniform colors:
Belts and straps will be black, I'm thinking, and the cuff trim and cravat might be red. I am uncertain of the color for the pockets, and the leggings will be a cream color with red trim.

Lesquins, part 1
The first set of miniatures from Warfare/LOA is now primed, and as stated before they are slated to become my first unit of lesquins, or the Half Continent's version of mercenaries. Here are a few examples:
The details are a bit easier to see now that they are primed. I am trying grey primer with this unit, as I do not expect the uniforms of this unit to have large expanses of black, or even dark colors.
The variety of poses is impressive. There are few repeats within the battalion pack which will give the lesquin unit a more relaxed appearance, especially as compared to Imperial troops. I intend to use the poses in firing positions as skirmishers for the main unit once they are used for a large-scale battle.
Now, to decide what the uniforms will be, and a spandarion as well...

A few new miniatures...
I think a break from baskets and nickers is in order, so how about this:
This is the better part of my first order of Warfare/League of Augsburg miniatures! (Technically, I purchased them from Le Roi Soleil Miniatures, the US distributor).
Shown above is pack 'B008 At ease, no pike.' There is a great variety of poses in the pack which is something that I really enjoy. 14 musketeers and 6 command make up the pack for a total of 20 miniatures, plus the separate weapons as shown. No flagstaffs but I prefer it that way personally.
Also included in my order was this:
This is pack 'WLOA01 Musketeer firing line'. The three firing miniatures are all slightly different, in weapon pose and hat variations.
It is my intention to use these miniatures as the first of my lesquin units. Lesquins are the mercenaries of the Half Continent, known for flamboyant dress and high fees! Compared to the Ebor WSS troops, they are not so flamboyant, but they are different enough for a start.
And, a comparison pic:
The LoA miniatures do have a very thin base, but they match up with the Ebor miniatures very well I think, in stature and style. The Wargames Factory figures are somewhat taller, while the Imperialist miniature (specifically a Palatinate musketeer) is shorter - Imperialist does bill this as a 25mm miniatures, whereas the others are 28mm.
