Recruitment in Maillinger's 8th Bavarian Infantry Brigade continues at pace with a battalion passing through the uniform store at the rate of one every four days at the moment.
This post highlights the arrival of III/11th Battalion (von der Tann Regiment), identified by its black facings.

At the current rate of throughput the whole brigade, and division for that matter, will be completed early next month, leaving an attached jäger battalion and some skirmish stands to finish my Bavarian infantry contingent.
Another fine unit for the next game.

DeleteThanks Joe. It will be nice to see these guys on a table...maybe later this year?
Churning out your Bavarians at a great pace Mark, another cracking looking regiment, the black facings work well, they look a resolute bunch, very focussed!
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie...Half way through the last line battalion now...
DeleteYou set a good pace with 24 figures in 4 days, especially with the quality of your painting, not forgetting the basing as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter. Thankfully the uniforms are pretty straightforward!
DeleteVery nice work as always Mark, I like the odd Feldmutze added in for some variation
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith. I'm not really sure that they wore the Feltmutze in the field in 1870, but the faces are much more easily seen. The opposite applied in 1866, where the Feltmutze was worn universally by the Bavarians.
DeleteAnother lovely looking miniatures sir!
ReplyDeleteBest regards
Thank you Michal.
DeleteYou really are on a roll with these Mark and another cracking unit off the production line as it were:)!
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve...there us light at the end of the (Bavarian) tunnel now!
DeleteFor fine looking Bavarians! I finally received a long delayed order of Bavarians from Lancashire Games last week.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan...looking forward to seeing your Lancastrian Bavarians on parade.
DeleteYou are a painting machine, in my best days I could never paint that fast plus they look just great too. Looking forward to a Franco-Prussian AAR!
ReplyDeleteI have slowed down considerably these days...in the mid-1980s I was completing 28 figures in a day. Hopefully one day soon this now very large collection will take to the table.
DeleteYou don't see many units with black facings. They look great and it is always fun posing Perry figures.
ReplyDeleteYes black is a different facing, although there are a couple of regiments with black facings in the Bavarian army...one with white and the other with yellow buttons.
DeleteSplendid looking Bavarian unit, a lovely finish!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
