Siebenjähriger Krieg: Österreich - Freiregiment Loudon

Siebenjähriger Krieg: Österreich - Freiregiment Loudon (Part II)
Figures: FrontRank
Scale: 25mm

Today I managed to finish the Regiment Loudon from Austria serving during the SevenYearsWar.

I posted the first figures of this regiment on 18th January - this was the first part.
The second part is the finished formation, completely based and ready for action.

24 miniatures based for "Die Kriegskunst". I wonder if I will ever be able to play this game.
All of my comrades prefer 15mm. That´s not really my favourite scale. So I would have to build up two complete armies. Because of my speed in painting figures this will be a project for the next 10 years or even longer.

And finally two photos of the command group flanked by two other stands.

Unfortunately tomorrow will be the last day of my holidays.
So maybe it will take a few weeks for the next post.

Let the dice roll and enjoy gaming.

Cheers

American War of Independence: British Army - Royal Artillery with 6pdr

American War of Independence:
British Army - Royal Artillery with 6pdr
Figures: Wargames Foundry

Though I wanted to finish other projects first (Freibatallion Loudon for the SYW)
I now ended the work on the following unit.
But I also have to say, that the mentioned Freibatallion is almost done.
I just wanted to see other uniforms.

I hope you´ll enjoy the photographs. Feel free to give me advices. I won´t be able to change the final result but this won´t be the last unit of artillery I will paint. Three other units are just waiting for that.
