I wonder when and if this post will appear on anyone's blog list? I'm posting this on Monday 14th at 0840 in the morning. Let me know what time you see it appear, if it does?
I thought I'd give you, dear reader a break from my 25mm wagons, so its back to my 15mm 1683 Siege of Vienna project.
Here we have 3 Squadrons of the Saxon Leibgarde-Trabanten zu Ross Cuirassiers.
There are 3 units of Cuirassiers to paint up for this project, 1 Bavarian, 1 Imperialist/Austrian and this Saxon. The first 2 have the blackened helmets that you'd usually associate with Cuirassiers but the Saxon's wore floppy hats. Much like the later Nine Years Wars figures, I previously painted.
I've no idea what the flags of any Saxon Cuirassiers looked like for this period, so I've used a later looking flag, but don't tell anyone?
And here's Barry Hilton's army list for the Battle. There's not many units to go!

Oh, don't see on my blog list :(
ReplyDeleteGreat looking collection Ray BTW!
Thanks Michal, dam blogger!!! I tried Jon from Palouse Wargaming Journel's Cache Buster idea, it doesn't seem to have worked.......sigh!
Deleteso my entries are invisible to others (only my last entry appeared on Jonathan's)
DeleteThese Blogger problems are already frustrating.
Michal, other bloggers may need to edit the entry for your blog in their Blog List before your blog updates appear. You and I can see your latest post so this is working as expected.
DeleteNot on my list, but then you are far from alone! Nice work on the little people!
ReplyDeleteThanks David, bloody blogger!
DeleteNot appeared on my list at all, nor your previous wagons post. Only the Normandy one is showing at present. Lovely work on those chaps tough, so let's try and focus on the positive!
ReplyDeleteYes indeed Steve, good idea and thanks!
DeleteLoaded on Feedly...
ReplyDeleteNot heard of Feedly, I'll go look that up!
DeleteNice! Nice details on the flags.
ReplyDeleteThis showed up in Feedly one minute after you posted.
Hmmm? Feedly again, I'll defo have a look at that.
DeleteNot on my list yet, Ray.
ReplyDeleteThe cavalry looks amazing. I look forward to a full parade when you have finished.
Me too, Rich.
DeleteGood looking minis there, Ray.
ReplyDeleteThe blog update list is certainly borked! So frustrating.
It is isn't it?
DeleteGreat looking cavalry, I just popped over on the off chance!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
That's what I've been doing on other blogs.
DeleteVery handsome work, Ray! I am not seeing this post in my blogroll yet.
ReplyDeleteGrooooan!
DeleteStill not there for me either. Perhaps they should take the 'l' out of blogroll as that would be a more apt description. Great work on these Ray. The yellow you have used looks great,
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence, its crazy isn't it?
DeleteGreat work Ray. Certainly looks like you are getting to the end of the list.
ReplyDeleteHopefully I'll finish the list in a month or two?
DeleteGood stuff, Ray. Saw the update in my blog list at 0730 (US Eastern Time) on Tuesday, 15 September. It was my first time checking my blog today, so can't say what time it might have hit the blog list before then.
ReplyDeleteOh that's good then, at least it sounds like it might be working now?
DeleteHello Ray, some fine troops and really good progress on the project overall.
ReplyDeleteI saw your post in my feed just about when I'm writing this, it displayed the previous one until now.
Great news it looks like Jon's idea is working then.
DeleteGreat bunch of figures. Only seen Blog entry today on top of my list (notes posted 1 day ago)
ReplyDeleteVery nice old chap…
ReplyDelete2:00 pm today but listed as one day ago…
All the best. Aly
Lovely work Ray
ReplyDeleteExcellent cuirassiers! To my shame, I know practically nothing about this historical period. My knowledge of the 17th century ends with the Thirty Years' War and the English Civil War.
ReplyDeleteI see your post on my blogroll! Default end? I hope so..
ReplyDeleteBut don't see my newest on your blogroll :p
DeleteSeems visible to me ok , on my roll and reading list .
ReplyDeleteOh , and great build up of forces Ray
