From the Vogshere and my Clergy its a quick trip to my last planet on the middle ring.
My trip takes me to Corsucant where I'll be using the Imperial tagline to get my next Donnybrook fix.
The Imperial tag turns into an Imperial Austrian Cuirassier regt
The regiment is that of Conte Aenas Silvio Caprara who took over as the head of the regt in 1663.
The regt was raised in 1629 and formally known as Piccolomini d'Aragona, the Duca d'Amalfi, before being taken over by Luigi Geronimo Conte Caprara in 1656.
In 1683 they were in camp at Pressburg in Hungry, then were called to be part of the relief force at Vienna.
The figures are from Reiver Castings and the flag is from the book Uniforms and Flags of the Imperial Austrian Army 1683-1720, by Robert Hall and Giancarlo Boeri. Sadly unavailable from the Pike & Shot Society.
As for the points....
8 x 25mm Cavalry figures @ 10 pts each = 80 points
20 points for the Corsucant Bonus
Total 100 pts

ReplyDeleteI did Joe, they were a pleasure to paint up.
DeleteI did Joe, they were a bit of a bugger to clean up, and fit on the horses, but they came out really good.
ReplyDeleteThese look really nice! Special uniforms, and more specific the helmets! Like them!
