Hi guys
I had a surplus Victrix plastic Napoleonic Austrian box in my stash, so thought I would create a Napoleonic Imagi-nation army for Sharp Practice, (these aren't finished yet, I need to give them more of a campaign look) I'm thinking Saxe-Carlsburg, we all know that this famous state participated in nearly every campaign of the Napoleonic wars, famously in Spain, Russia on the French side, and on the British side at Waterloo, again we all know they were dressed in lighter blue coats than Bavarians, buff yellow breaches, white cross belts, and national colours cockades/drum loops light blue and yellow.
I will also be doing 1 or more cavalry groups, possibly Hussars and Cuirassiers, I have Perry's plastics for both, the Cuirassiers would have bicorns.

Good start with an interesting imagi-nation. There were still so many little statelets, even after the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, that they should fit in well.
ReplyDeleteThanks, imagi-nations are just fun
DeleteTurned up hats - I approve! If I could do an entire army of Tyrolean Jagers I would. They're my favorite troop (and hat) of the period.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I always liked the Brunswick Avantgarde jagers, tossing up between green with red facings or grey with light blue facings.
DeleteA great start, I look forward to seeing them progress towards the battlefield.
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteLove image-nations. Looking forward to seeing this one come together.
ReplyDeleteCool, a great start! Maybe add a cannon or so and you're good to go.
