1809 Salzburg Landwehr Napoleonic 11

 Here is another Landwehr unit, Salzburg,next to no white but yellow facings. These are mostly Perry bodies with Victrix heads. The officer is a Perry plastic Confederate as are the drum,drummers arms and flagpole and arms with Victrix bodies.











A casualty marker for last weeks lower Austrian Landwehr  and a generic Austrian Infantry marker,as I decided I would like the Salzburg marker to be wearing the right hat!

Flag by Victrix once more, the older pattern used by Landwehr. I'm getting used to painting the flagpole as it doesn't take as long now!

Working on some Austrian cavalry next,lets see how we go.

All the best 

Iain

    Another great looking unit Iain, and casualty markers. How are you getting on with the contrast paint ?

    Great looking unit and it does show the versatily that plastic figures have over their metal counterparts.

      You know me, slow and steady, trying to do the casualty markers alongside the units,so they're not too overwhelming!

    Very nice work again, Iain, I always liked the Landwehr for a bit of variety...the only problem being....they are generally crap in action! Oh well, you can't have everything I guess! The Austrian cavalry I found far more interesting to paint....just a pity about the bloody horses! I also like the casualty markers.

    I never realized the Austrians had multiple uniform colours and now get to learn it’s not all just white! Very nicely done and if you hadn’t said the officer was ace, I would never have questioned it! Lol

      German line and grenadiers are all white, there is a bit of colour with the Hungarians, Grenzers(Croatian) and the second line units like these!

    They look great Iain, and lovely work on the flagpole again as well. I haven't done an Austrian flagpole yet, but they strike me as rather fiddly.

    What an interesting bit of conversion work: love the color schemes. Bravo on the flagpole--despite my proclivity for details, I haven't yet had the fortitude to try one of those.
