I decided to go for 40 figure battalions, so another 20 figures were quickly painted up to complete the second battalion. Unlike the already completed figures which were Victrix, these are from Perry as they were passed on by another club member. The uniform is a slightly different cut, no doubt the purists will be aghast, but they are fine for me.
I am awaiting an order from flags of war to add the standard to the second battalion. Once these were done I completed a couple of Brigadiers, some Jaegers and a 6lb gun. These are a mix of Perry and Frontrank miniatures. The Jaegars still need some of their paintwork touched up.
I do still have 12 line skirmshers to rebase. Looking at the unpainted pile, I have enough figures for a Grenadier battalion. There are also some more of the Perry figures, but not quite enough for a 3rd battalion, so ordered another box to put that right and give me a 4th battalion.
Forty figure units are HUGE! Looking good.
ReplyDeleteCheers Jonathan, yep 1 to 30 scale makes the Austrian battalions huge compared to the French
DeleteThey're massive units! They do look very smart though on their new bases.

ReplyDeleteI play SP with my 4-man blocks, just putting a wound marker down to represent casualties.
Cheers Paul. Good idea to use the wound markers
