I've got some more freshly-painted 15mm SYW units on the blog. First the Blau-Würzburg Regiment and Saxon Carbiniersgarde. I've also been re-flagging some previously-painted units with better flags:

Secondly, some Austrian artillery and generals:

Lovely work, really nice. Lovely additions to your great collection. :)

:'( <<<= don't think of those as tears but as salivating - or maybe just drooling. :D
-
Wow. Very impressive Sir - very impressive.
-
Spectacular spectacular!
-
Thanks all! :D

Excellent jobs there! Very well done!
The Karabiniergarde must be OG.
Blau-Würzburg and the artillery must be Eureka.
Lovely!!!

Lovely! Just what I need, another period!

Thanks Dino! All is revealed when you click on the links... lol

Look into my eyes. Into my eyes, not around the eyes, into my eyes.
You have lots of lace and tricorns in your immediate future.
And you're back in the room...

Very nice Mark.

Very nice Mark.
Thanks OB! :D

To satisfy my curiosity, just how many infantry battalions and cavalry regiments for all sides do you have for the Seven Years War? However large or small your collection, it is superb.

I was wondering that myself a couple of years ago, so started a spreadsheet... lol
Units are generally 12 or 16 figures. In most cases they're a battalion or regiment, but some nations liked HUGE cavalry regiments, so the unit might be a half-regiment, while others liked tiny regiments, so the unit might represent a brigade.
Prussians: 43 Inf, 11 Gren, 9 CR, 5 DR, 12 HR, 6 LI & 14 Guns
Austrians: 40 Inf, 7 Gren, 12 CR, 11 DR, 11 HR, 16 LI & 20 Guns
Swedes: 10 Inf, 3 CR & 4 Guns
Reichsarmee*: 32 Inf, 6 Gren, 3 CR, 3 DR & 8 Guns
Saxony: 1 CR & 3 DR
Bavaria: 10 Inf & 1 Gun
Wurttemberg: 10 Inf, 3 Gren & 1 Gun
Great Britain: 6 Inf, 1 Gren, 2 CR, 2 DR & 5 Guns
France: 20 Inf, 4 CR, 1 DR, 1 HR & 6 Guns
Hanover: 8 Inf, 1 Gren, 1 CR, 1 DR & 4 Guns
Hessen-Kassel: 1 Inf
Schaumburg-Lippe: 1 Inf & 3 Guns
* NB The Reichsarmee total also includes various Imperial auxiliary regiments such as the two Wurzburg regiments, Mainz-Lamberg, etc. Three of the Bavarian battalions also do double-duty with the Reichsarmee, as does the Bavarian and Wurttemberg artillery.
So that's 233 battalions and 85 cavalry 'regiments'. God, that's a lot more than I realised... :o
Total painted figures, including generals and bottle-washers: 3,217 Foot, 1,354 Horse & 66 Guns.

Thanks for that quite detailed reply - though it seems you are short on Saxon infantry :o.
That is truly amazing to have such a large collection at such a high quality - and remarkable to also have your toes dipped (perhaps up to your ankles - or knees even) in other periods and scales.
I think I have to reserve a whole weekend to really explore your website in much greater depth. Only by doing so can I judge from afar just how crazed you are with this hobby madness thing. Heck, you might actually be more so than me! Certainly more talented! lol

lol lol lol lol
Cheers and thanks for looking! :D
The reason for no Saxon infantry is that I've only done the four cavalry regiments (three chevauxlegers and one carabiniers) that fought alongside the Austrians after the fall of Saxony (there should also be two uhlan regiments, but a. I can't find decent figures for them and b. they tended not to turn up at the battles, being too busy scouting. The Saxon infantry corps that was raised under French command will be painted later this year for Minden. :)
