The Last of the Line Battalions

This is III/14th Regiment Hartmann.





For some variety the officer was given an arm from the French command set, giving him a more heroic pose.

This completes Mallinger's 8th Bavarian Infantry Brigade...but that is a different parade

All that remains to be completed for the infantry of my Bavarian collection is one more jäger battalion and seven skirmish stands.

  1. Another lovely looking regiment and the simple conversion really makes for a good looking officer, hope he is as heroic when the battles commence!

    1. Thank you! Of course since his arm is from a French officer, where will his true loyalty lie?

  2. Sounds like plot of a 50's B movie. The " hand that would not...."
    Good effect, really a small change to model yet makes an impact. Nice to know that the parade is not far off.

    1. Makes it all sound a bit Frankenstein-ish, don't you think?

    1. Thanks Iain. There are a bunch more conversions waiting in the dark corners if the painting tray.

  4. Great work and the French arm really works on this figure. I can't believe you are nearly at the end of the Bavarians. Very quick work on them.

    1. Thanks Lawrence. It's nice to have a big collection of left over bits - arms, weapons, heads and hats to draw on. Yes i an two thirds of the way through the last battalion now.

    1. Yes it was an easy conversion...just the arm then cocking the head to one side...gave the figure a completely different character.
