Royal Italian alian regiment no 3 Napoleonic 39

 Not a terrain  post for  a change,here is another Victrix  Italian infantry unit, this time the third regiment, again fast and dirty white and the same process but with rather more green facings.












Another couple of Italian regiments still to come but first more French I would say , unless I get some more of the terrain completed that I have been drawn into!

All the best

  1. What a superb and different leader pose with coat shouldered to one side. I rather like the look of the Italian unit, a nice alternative to the Swiss.

    1. Thanks Norm, it's a neat additional detail with the slung coat isn't it? Aiming for a four battalion Italian brigade, might do Swiss and Irish if I get bored with French line!

  6. Another great looking Italian unit, Iain! Love the white uniform in French cut. As mentioned above - the grenadiers in bearskin and red plumes/cords really pop with the uniform.

  7. Love the variety of poses and differences in uniform detail. And the officer with the coat draped over the shoulder is very dashing.

  9. Nice looking battalion Iain, I wish I had the time to keep my 'production line' rolling as I would wish. I am looking forward to seeing these in combat!

    1. Thanks Chris, still trundling along in spite of my terrain surge! Little and often , half an hour to an hour most nights, it'll be a while till they're in action but not too long I hope!

  10. Lovely work there Iain and painting white is tricky, as I know from recent work. The Grenadiers do add a nice splash of colour:).

  11. These certainly show how colorful a white uniform can be. You have a flair putting together the poses the Victrix allow.

    1. Thanks Joe, I suppose I'm trying not to get drawn into too much detail, which would be really easy to do but a huge time soak!
