Another oddball unit finished. This time it is the second stand of Converged Mounted Grenadiers. Old Glory puts a few of these in every Austrian Dragoon pack, so I opted to deploy them as a single converged regiment. The paint schemes are based on the four Dragoon regiments I have completed so far as well as the St Ignon Dragoons that are currently on the painting table.
Several OOBs (including Hochkirch and Liegnitz) list a formation of "Converged Carabiniers and Horse Grenadiers" so this unit will serve as the placeholder for those engagements.
One more unit down. I have another six units of cavalry base coated and awaiting a change in the weather, so I can hit them with some varnish. February may see this project come near to completion yet.
Mounted grenadiers, always an impressive unit...and this one is truly superb!
