Austrian infantry regiment no 57 Graf Josef Colloredo Napoleonic 74

 Here is regiment no 57 Graf Josef Colloredo  they are Victrix Austrians, primed grey , white slapped on them black ink for helmets boots etc, stripey  flagpole , nice bright magenta facing colour, bit of sharpie work on the helmets! This is the first battalion with the colonels colour, the last Austrian infantry for a while. I've still got another combined  Hungarian grenadier unit              ( someone's got to shoot Lasalle after all!) and a bohemian landwehr unit (inspired by Phil C's lovely unit on Toy Soldiers studio, go and check them out) to build and prime.  Hungarians and Grenzers are primed and still to come so more diverse elements of the empire rather than standard German units, this takes me up to 361 painted Napoleonic figures so far this year, so not far off my target.

Still to come, I've partly painted Austrian hussars and two dragoon units,  various late Roman/Romano British units half done which would be good to clear from the painting tray, they've actually been moved to their own tray, I'm having trouble with their shields to be honest, it does seem odd to seek refuge in reassuring Napoleonic units but there you go!

All the best
