Your paintjob is so good that you must not be afraid to show us more close ups! Cheers!

The long process continues!

Cheers Din - very much appreciated. I do like taking my time with each figure. It really adds to the enjoyment factor.

Here I have some Bavarians I finally finished. All based up, with their colours and ready for action.



The units are part of the 2nd Bavarian Division commanded by Lieutenant-General Karl Philipp von Wrede. I have only done the, 6th Laroche Light battalion, 3rd Prince Karl Regiment (yellow facings) and the13th Regiment (red facings), one six pounder to represent a battery and the the König Chevau-léger Regiment. It sems enough for me to represent a division in a 20 unit game.





You can read a little write up of the political and social history surrounding the Bavaria's 1809 campaign here (as well as more pics):

Cheers all,

Kurt.

Superb

Thank you all for your kind words.

So I finally got around to basing some moree troops.

I lay down some sand and then paint it with water downed PVA glue. Once that is dry I use an acrylic burnt umber to provide a wet brown look (like the ground after a thunderstorm) and then brybrush Citadel Steel Legion Drab, Administratuum Grey and Screaing Skull in various amounts. I add some clump folioge and then some winter grass from Gale Force 9 to finish off. I like the base rim painted black to give it a really stark divide between table and base.

Here we have some Austrians:


And now my Division of Austrians:
