The battalion was made up of two companies each of Regiment Number 16 Erzherzog Rudolf (pale yellow facings), Regiment Number 26 Hohenlohe-Bartenstein (green facings) and Regiment Number 27 Chasteler (yellow facings).
It will be brigaded with my two other grenadier battalions.
Very nicely done. I like seeing converged grenadier that show off their parent units differences.
ReplyDeleteI like that too...I have about a dozen combined grenadier battalions across several eras now
DeleteFirst class grenadiers Mark, cracking job
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil
DeleteBeautiful looking battalion, Mark!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal. They are interesting figures to work with.
DeleteAnother corker of white uniformed fellows. Your Austrian collection must be quite extensive now
ReplyDeleteYes the numbers are getting up there now...there will be 18 battalions when the current batch is completed.
DeleteLovely work Mark, they look super, the Victrix plastics are very decent figures.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie. Victrix are a bugger to assemble, but the final results are great.
DeleteBrilliant work as always Mark and you've really nailed those white uniforms:)!
ReplyDeleteI am well practiced with white uniforms now, having done Austrian and Spanish Napoleonics, plus the French from the AWI.
DeleteWell those have come out a treat and given the white and yellow not the easiest uniforms to paint so very well done.
ReplyDeleteOddly I never seem to gave a problem with yellow, but white before Contrast paints was always a challenge.
DeleteSuperb
ReplyDeleteThanks Neil.
DeleteOutstanding work, Mark! The rear view is especially nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jonathan. Sadly in our games seeing Austrian troops from the rear is a common sight for the opposing side!
DeleteSplendid looking combined grenadiers, they look excellent!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thank you Iain.
DeleteThis is quite a large expansion. Another beautiful unit. Austrian grenadiers always look smart.
ReplyDeleteWell it was supposed to be only three battalions until those four donated battalions turned up.
DeleteAs good as they get. Wonderful you will have enough on table to terrorize opponents.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe, but in our games when large numbers of Austrians appear most seem to think "...pah...they are only Austrians!" So here's hoping to break that thought.
DeleteWonderfully painted again Mark.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes, James
Thank you James
