I started my Seven Year war project a few weeks ago and the first batch are now painted and you can see pictures on my blog

Also there is my 15mm project, which I will probably sell on now as I prefer 10mm far more!

Very tasty work, Bunny !!  8)

Glad I'm not the only one putting SYW forces together. :)

Some really good work.   Nice to see you have put together some
Reichsarmee Battalions despite the online mockery !   How boring
woul it be if we all just picked Prussians and Austrians ?   They also
have some nice uniforms and flags...

The Pendaken SYW figures are some of the best in their range
and have certainly inspired me to paint a few Battalions up.

My Prussians are nearly finished - then it'll be on to another army
which attracts its fair share of derision at this time - the French.

Well done,

Very good job, Bunny.  :-bd

Great progress too!*

*took me years to paint 20 infantry battalions, 15 cavalry regiments, 9 guns & limbers, 11 staff officers, sappers, supply wagons .... and mainly all Prussians and Austrians!  (:|
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

They are looking really good, Some lovely work on cavalry flags.

"...and mainly all Prussians and Austrians!  Yawn"

:D   I am just as 'guilty' - my first army is Prussian...


In my defence, however, I have added a Hanoverian brigade for some
extra colour.   I've used British SYW figures for this and was completely
blown away by the flute player included with the Grenadiers command !
Seriously, this has to be one of the best Pendraken figures I've seen.

Eastern theatre Russians, Prussians and Austrians - best way to go. Above is a bit like saying:

ACW and you've gone for Union and Confederate instead of the possibility of British involvement from Canada! What on earth are you playing at?

If it's how you want to game SYW, then do so and ignore the obscurantist snob.

Nice work Bunny. I like the seriously grassy stands.
Encumbered by Idjits, we pressed on

Thanks Guys,

Progress is continuing and I am thinking about an opposing force....i have some Russians, a few Prussians and some AWI British/Allies...(all unpainted)...so was thinking of a Imagi-nation force, a Confederation of Minor States, to fight the Evil Empire (Hapsburg Austria and it's Reichsarmee puppets!).

Thoughts?

Nah, do SYW. Fantasy in tricornes is for seriously defective intellects.
