Second Battalion, Erzherzog Karl Regiment No 3

I actually completed this 36 figure unit two weeks ago, but it has sat with its bases half completed ever since. Now with birthdays, anniversaries and other complications out of the way it is time to complete them.

This, with the first and Landwehr battalions, completes the regiment.






Next on the painting table is a grenadier battalion.

  2. These new Austrians look particularly fine Mark. The shading on their faces is excellent.

    1. Thanks Keith. I used the Contrast Guilliman Flesh tone, thinned appropriately, on these (and other Austrians in this batch).

  3. Indeed, you've nailed those "white" uniforms! Dry-brushing? Or a different method?

    Kind Regards,

    1. Thanks Stokes. I just used a bone undercoat, applied a coat of Contrast Apothecary White then highlighted the white crossbelts. Quick and easy white uniforms.

    1. I am doing the Victrix grenadiers now and they are very characterful...extreme in one or two cases.
