Mostly painted, and based now. Five units* of infantry and 4 of cavalry (2 horse and 2 dragoons). I have a bit of white edging (hat lace and saddle cloths) to do on the cavalry and the flags on the cavalry. Then there's the base texturing, painting and 'flocking'. I might ad a few finishing touches on the horses.
* remember in my TOTSK world, units are made up of 2 bases, representing in total 4/5 battalions or about 10 squadrons

| I just noticed a couple of bases where I haven't followed my placement standard |
This was all fairly quick because there is very little variety in the regimentals (mostly red cuffs, but some orange). There's some units who have blue cuffs and one with white (the latter just 1 battalion, so 1/4 of a game unit).
In boxes ready to paint are enough to do the following:
- 2 units of grenadiers (1 in mitres, 1 mixed bearskins & mitres for the Reichsarmee)
- 8 units of musketeers
- 3.5 units of cavalry
- 3 units of artillery
- a bunch of staff figures
I have a lot of Real Life coming up so they will be left for a while.
There are more than enough units of musketeers - I only need 4 or 5 for the Reichsarmee. So what to do with the others?
Quick work and looking good, you are certainly cranking them out at a good pace and they look great.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie. Expecting things to go slow for a while now until December.
DeleteLooking good thus far. You achieve such a lot with this scale. Hope Real Life is good or ok but nothing worse.

Cheers Alan. Appreciate it. The Real Life intrusions are nothing to worry about.
DeleteSaxons? Bavarians? Wurtemburgers? Or some of those Germans paid for by Austria or France - Rot and Blau Wurzburg?
ReplyDeleteOr Italians?
Neil
I have Saxons already. Done in a previous batch this year. Already have Bavarians. The Rot and Blau Wurzburgers, Wütemburgers and Italians are a good call Neil.
DeleteThey look splendid - I like the positioning of the mounted officer (Colonel?) so that he's in the middle of two stands.
ReplyDeleteThanks MJT. Yeah, that was the idea that he was a colonel/brigadier/major general. I think colonel’s tended to fight on foot, at least in the Prussian army. Makes sense. But the figures serve no function in the game.

All looking really very nice.
