Shifting from the steppes of Russia to the Austrian Marchfeld, here we have Greg presenting us with two Austrian 6 pound artillery pieces with their crews, ready to help blast the French back into the Danube (or announce the opening of Oktoberfest). Beautiful work, Greg! You just need one more section and you'll have the battery done. (You see, Greg hates, HATES painting artillery...).
Greg has already built a gorgeous 15mm Austrian force, but has recently decided to take the plunge and do it all again in 28mm, organized around the 'Grande Manner' scale.
These two artillery bases will give Greg 11 points for his opening gambit in the Painting Challenge.
Even though they were completed not long before the Challenge contest parameters I thought I'd include below a few shots (gratefully poached from the Fawcett Ave Conscripts) of some his beefy 40-man infantry battalions. Yes, very nice indeed - bravo, Greg!

Very nice, those Austrian artillery from FRont Rank, are some of the nicest figures I have painted.

Front Rank? Noted and changed... Thanks for that.
ReplyDeleteActually, these are Foundry figures...
ReplyDeleteAnyone for Elite Miniatures anyone, anyone...? Right you are Greg - my apologies. John, some of those scandalous Foundry must have snuck into your collection posing as Front Rank.
ReplyDeleteExcellent paint job how has your Black Powder gaming gone so far - I had to borrow your Napoleonic quote - very inspirational! How would one get a copy of your rules "Food for Powder"
