Its 23.34 in England, I've gotta get up at 5.45, so I should be tucked up in bed at my age???
Instead I've just finished basing these figures up and taking some pics.
Here we have a few more figures for my Donnybrook, Vienna 1683 project
These 2 x 8 figure units represent the Austrian Infantry regt of Leopold von Herzog Lothringen
I did want to paint up a different regt but this one only needed red stockings, so would be quicker.
In addition to the infantry, we also have 4 Sergeants
Most of the figures are from Dixon minis, with a smattering of Wargames Foundry in the Sergeants and Officers.
Also Officers in blue coats and a drummer in red.
Rear view!
The flag was a copy of one from Warflag, which I then changed the colours to match the units differing colours and added the orb in the centre of the double headed eagle.
So all in all 25 x 25mm figures making a total of 125 points!
I do have 1 last post, but I don't know the figures are gonna dry in time???
Figures like these make me reconsider my choices for periods played. Wonderful brush work. Now get some well deserved rest.
ReplyDeleteThat's the plan!
DeleteYou are really stepping up the pace now Ray. Great stuff.
ReplyDeleteA superb looking regiment Ray
ReplyDeleteThanks Neil.
DeleteGreat Austrian infantry Ray!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteLovely looking figures as always Ray. This 17th Century collection of yours is making me jealous!
ReplyDeleteIt's a grest period to paint up.
DeleteVery nice Ray and clever stuff with the flag too.
ReplyDeleteCheers OB.
DeleteBeautiful looking miniatures Ray!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal.
DeleteThat's a lot of figures - well done!
ReplyDeleteCheers Alex.
DeleteSuper work Ray, very nice regiment. Dixons figures from this range are lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe figures are a joy to paint, the raised belts and such make them so easy to paint and with a little ink over the top all the shaded is added.
DeleteIt's postings like these that make me think I could dip my toe in this period and see what I can paint up across the year. I need to get some more Naps done first though. But these paintjobs are definitely tempting me.
ReplyDeleteIt's a fab period Simon?
DeleteSplendid work Ray.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rich.
DeleteAustrians look so cool in white uniforms. Excellent work mate
ReplyDeleteCheers Carl.
DeleteYou are as mad as I am Ray...I get about 6 hours sleep Mon to Fri ...and it's not really enough! The new figures do look very nice though.
ReplyDeleteI rarely get more than 5-6 hours sleep. Think my bodies used to that now.
DeleteSuper additions to your collection!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jon.
DeleteLovely job, particularly on the whites, which I think are the hardest thing to get right for the painter.
ReplyDeleteInking them is my savoir, Norm.
DeleteA fine looking unit Ray!
