They look really nice. Is there a view that Bavarian blue was darker at this stage?  I am in two minds as to what shade blue to use for my brigade when they get to the painting table.

Every source I have read suggests Cornflour Blue, this was a close match.

Its not too dissimilar to the colour some 15mm Bavarians I bought a long time ago that were a commission paint job

Made a start on the remaining foot units this morning and painted the coats of three line and one light regiments. Slow progress but progress nonetheless :)

Finally got back to these after the distraction of Warband, my studies and work.

The remaining three line units and the light unit had their trousers and boots done today and one unit has had its collars, cuffs and facings done.

Still slow progress, but progress nonetheless
