For my own convenience, this battalion is composed of 3 figures each in the uniforms of my 4 Musketeer regiments.
Hessian (Hesse-Cassel) infantry regiments were composed of single battalions, each with 5 Musketeer or Fusilier companies, and one company of Grenadiers.
The Grenadier companies of four different infantry regiments were combined to form each Gfenadier battalion.
While the Grenadier battalions did not ordinarily carry standards, I have loaned them one of the all white Leibcompagnie colors, which were carried by the first company of each line battalion (the other four companies carried the colored standards).
Miters are so 1700's! :-)
The Grenadier battalions saw action at most of the many battles that the Hessian troops fought during the American Revolutionary War.
Vorwarts!
These are Perry figures with a flag by Adolfo Ramos.
Very nice work and very colourful, I know they didn't carry colour but units on the table top always look better with them!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Donnie; we are of a like mind in that regard! :-)
DeleteVery nice, units certainly do pop with the sub units being the basis for the color scheme.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joe; it's been a long time since I painted a Miter - back to Pavlov Guards 40+ years ago!
DeleteLovely looking troops.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Richard!
DeleteSharp looking unit. I like the mixed uniforms a lot. I'm in agreement with you on flags, more is better.
ReplyDeleteThanks, a flag for every unit wherever possible! :-)
DeleteAdolfo Ramos flags are a popular choice for Perry Miniatures because they are specifically scaled to fit 28mm historical figures and are known for their high-quality printing?....anyway....great painted looking unit!...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Phil. GMB flags are great but pricey and too big; The Flags of War are nice, but I prefer the Ramos flags and again better price point, don't have to but flags in sets of w2 like GMB and FoW. All are great products regardless!
DeleteGit to love those helmets with the brass plating
ReplyDeleteDefinitely one of the more unusual items of Military bling! :-)
DeleteGreat work and it is always nice to be able to paint a few mitres.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lawrence; I have some Hessian Fusiliers in the works in their mini-miters!
