Mustering of the troops; I.R. Terzi
Work progresses on my newest foray, units of the Austrian Army of the Napoleonic era. Joining my unit of Jagers, Grenze battalions and cavalry is the first of my Plastic Perry boxed Austrian line units. A couple of posts back I mentioned a large (for me) lot of Austrians procured-this is the first painted installment, two line battalions of 18.
The battalions are receiving colors under the eye of an officer (from the Alps in Flames kickstarter, by Piano Miniatures). The march had been so quick that no moss has collected on the stands.
In the imagination campaign, these two battalions and other to be painted represent the increase of Ostreich as a military force.

Keith, lovely figures those are as well. I have some Sash and Saber Austrian forces that are parading disguised as 1809 Hesse Kassel troops; a project that may be revisited to use some of the plastic kits.
Your new Kaiserlicks lokk great, Joe. I rather enjoy painting Austrians - the line infantry uniform is fairly simple, but you get to use all those wonderful facing colors!
Best Iain
true, the head goes on and we are ready for painting. I intend to mount the backpack and bedroll piece on a double sided tape to prime, the batch paint the packs in 50 pack before troop 'issue' painting.
