Newly painted Austrian units
« on: 26 December 2015, 12:27:51 PM »
My Austrian army is very nearly finished now. Here are the four units I painted in the two weeks leading up to Christmas.



ID and closer shots here: http://olicanalad.blogspot.co.uk/2015/12/december-painting-austrian-infantry.html

I've just got forty more Austrian Infantry to paint - making 592 in total.

I LOVE these figures . When I think of 7 Years War , I think of these " type " of figures. Are they a mixture of Front Rank / Foundry ? Looking forward to seeing more , please keep posting.

This lot are Front Rank only. I'm a particular fan of the marching with musket over the shoulder pose as the figure's arms and musket almost completely cover the figures front, making them very quick to paint.

Beautiful work! I am a big fan of Austrian armies from 7YW through the end.
