Two Austrian updates in row? I am on a roll!
My second Grenzer unit marshals for battle in the form of the Slavonisch-Brooder Grenzer. These have the same two stand organization as the line regiments, but with 48 figures versus 62. I considered basing these figures on four 30x30 bases to facilitate open order coverage, but I think this will work.
I did these with a black undercoat, so the overall painting process was fairly quick: Oak Brown Jacket, Mid-Blue pants/vest yellow details. With a dab of flesh and white crossbelts they were done in an evening. There are 50 figures in a pack for the Old Glory figures, so it is basically one unit per pack. I have one more left, so the Warasdiner-Kreutz Grenz will be joining the force eventually.
Excellent! Your speed of calling up forces is impressive.
ReplyDeleteI am feeling rather motivated to get out from under all these SYW figures. I figured the easiest method was to push through them.
ReplyDeleteGotta have da Grenzer! Employed as irregulars, they really gave the Prussians fits!
ReplyDeleteThey were definitely ahead of their time for the period.
DeleteGreat looking unit - love the blue pants!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I am finding the small splashes of color are really necessary at this scale.
