TYW - Imperial Infantry

 

Completed Pike Units arrayed on the table

Half of the infantry is now based and complete.  I painted up seven of the 14 regiments for various factions for eh imperial side.  First up were three units of 'German Mercenaries'.  These were done using a mix of primary colors for pants/shirts to provide a more colorful unit.

The next two were done as Spanish units with a mix of red and yellows to set them apart.

The last two units were done with blue coats and a mix of reds, yellows and green for pants to represent a pair of Bavarian regiments inspired by the collection on display in Ingolstadt.

Lastly the new bases arrived for the Swedish/Protestant side that are about 1cm deeper than the ones I used for these regiments.  I am basically using the larger base for the central infantry pike formation and then two of the original stands for the musketeers. The deeper base provides enough room to stand off two regiments without breaking off the pikes.

I have already completed basing the Swedish Green regiment, now I just need to do the other six.  I am fairly happy with the look of the regiments, though I am considering adding some of the individual "commanded shotte" models to the musketeer stands to fill out the empty real estate in front of the leading ranks.  

Next up some of the commanded shotte models.  I am almost down with the models from the boxed set.  Then comes the supporting cavalry models from Peter Pig. 

Thanks for looking.
