Ready just in time for this weekend's Campaign in a Day event, there are some new command bases fro the Austrians
There's a mix of manufacturers in use here!
The foot figure is a spare Old Glory artillery officer painted as an officer of the supply train, and the others are Foundry figure from their "Early Austrian Command" set, purchased at Historicon 2022.
Some black lining with an ink pen was used on the saddle trim and the sashes.
Where there are Austrians, the HAS to be a long line of supply wagons behind them, right?
The second group are again drawn from a mix of manufacturers.
All but the white coated General are by Piano Wargames from the last KS.
He is from the Foundry "Early Command" set.
;' I've swapped the Piano Wargames General and adjutant by their paint schemes.
Just in time production. I like ‘em!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jon. They will be on the tables in less than 3 days!
DeleteVery handsome indeed - I like them very much.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the kind words, Tony!
DeleteExcellent looking Austrian command!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thank you, Iain. Most opf the rules I play require a number of command figures, and it seems I'm always needing something I don't have! :-)
DeleteLovely work Peter, and the different manufacturers mix well.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lawrence. Command figures for the Austrians and particular have generally been fairly slim pickings in the past, so I'm always happy to find new and different ones, especially any other than Karl!
DeleteQuite a good addition to your Austrian collection and just in time for Saturday 's SN event. Good luck to the white menace!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joe. I am really looking forward to this one. I'll pack the car later today, and I hope to be to The Portal by mid afternoon on Friday to set it all up, with help.
DeleteNice paintjobs, your should be happy with them!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Hopefully the troops are happy with them, too!
DeleteIt has always amazed me why more people don't have Austrian armies since they were Napoleon's most persistent opponents. Sure they can be clunky on the tabletop - but that's what generalship is for! Looking great.
ReplyDeleteI fully concur; my own Austrian army is huge, only slightly smaller than my French forces.
DeleteVery nice Peter. I particularly like how you have mixed the different manufacturers figures together. Very well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Carlo. Some of them get their introduction to Command later today! :-)
