There's four more posts due today...
Lovely work. What rules do you use for your 10mm Napoleonic please?
Triailing Glorie de Guerre, still in playtest stage
Not Austrians, not Pendraken, but 10mm Chasseurs a Chevel gifted to me by a friend and rebased.

Division of FML Waber, 1809
18th, 21st and 28th Foot, ready to get beaten by Neil tonight as I trail 'Soldiers of Napoleon' that LB have been playing for a while.

Yes, I know Weber appears to be wearing a Hungarian Shako, but Bicorns never suited him!

~I also know the 28th are missing a colour, the figure will be in my next order!

Four hungarian skirmishers which have been sitting round annoying me for yonks!
(https://i.imgur.com/X8lZ9Wa.jpg)
I know its an Austrian drummer...
(https://i.imgur.com/5BE4PmL.jpg)
And they lost!
Massie loss...
-1 for new troops, -1 for first time on table, -1 new rules. Added to my usual incompitence of not rolling the 5 or 6s I needed...
Austrian Cuirassiers by the brigade.
Unfortunately not Pendraken, suspect 10mm Old Glory by teh horse/saddle combination, they were oookkkay(ish), but I know whhat I would rather. Still, you can't look a gift Cuirassier in the mouth.
Would be tempted to swap for equivalent cost of Pendraken or raw Pendraken Austrian Cuirassiers figures, if anyone wants Old Glory

Nope, false alarm, everyone back!

Couple of commanders, one for everyday, one for my light cavalry brigade
(https://i.imgur.com/7tpNFGm.jpg)
Oi, you
(https://i.imgur.com/UYro1Sd.jpg)
Lovely stuff as ever. You can never have enough cuirassiers even if you need to mobilise them from different places. :D
Missed an Austrian officer, so he's been brevit promoted to Brigade command!
(https://i.imgur.com/BDkiOWv.jpg)
And here he is running away!
(https://i.imgur.com/gtymhJc.jpg)
Brilliant work! That's quite the army you have! Love the dynamic basing and how they convey movement. I take it the MeG are from the Field of Glory family? Interesting.
It is a second cousin, twice removed. It shares an ancestor and writer
Fresh Austrian units, 6th Blankenstein Hussars.

CHARGE!
(https://i.imgur.com/DRLGyyf.jpg)
WIth the other Hussars and Chevauxlegers, it takes my light cavalry division up to three units.
(https://i.imgur.com/q1zQLTC.jpg)
Soon to be in action (I hope).
(https://i.imgur.com/2prLKJx.jpg)
To be split up into detachments, Grenz
(https://i.imgur.com/viZXtT3.jpg)
These might grow into a full unit too.

Skirmish line
(https://i.imgur.com/IE7yAFX.jpg)
Austrian skirmishers to be attached to line units, hence the different cuffs.
(https://i.imgur.com/orbVlhN.jpg)
Hopefully hold back the French for a while?
(https://i.imgur.com/l7IX6TF.jpg)
Austrian line fillers, to bulk my units up to the equivalent of five base widths for Soldiers of Napoleon, which appears to be my club standard width.
(https://i.imgur.com/M7bnrgV.jpg)
Just to show how much one mounted officer can bulk the unit out.
(https://i.imgur.com/udeGcgk.jpg)
Almost three ranks
(https://i.imgur.com/kt35CP6.jpg)
Back view, now I just need to do three more Austrian units and three Hungarian units, need to order two more packs... LEEEEOOON!
(https://i.imgur.com/hVq7DW8.jpg)
Here they are en situ so you can see how they work.
(https://i.imgur.com/LZf6CPj.jpg)
Nice!
=D> =D>
Well done that man!
Good stuff there Will
After a game of Soldiers of Napoleon using my Austrians, I decided that I do really need to put them on the same sized bases as my French and Prussians, as well as my clubmates bases.
First six units
(https://i.imgur.com/6gNIsfx.jpeg)
My usual view
(https://i.imgur.com/XmYvlsX.jpeg)
This many spare bases, I might need some command figures to make these into extra units.
(https://i.imgur.com/KPC8cg3.jpeg)
That's at least two extra units there
(https://i.imgur.com/HfVWFih.jpeg)
Two more infantry unkits and the artillery next, eventually...
Good stuff, Will.😀
Hungarian infantry units, another unit of Austrian line, and the short unit at the rear is the Grenz, rebased.
(https://i.imgur.com/QfUqrDJ.jpeg)
Single bases are the 'spares'
(https://i.imgur.com/ZV3DZXl.jpeg)
Just waiting for more flock before I post pictures of the rebased artillery, of which 8/12 are completed.
Nice stuff, Will ! :-bd
Looking very nice indeed!
Eight artillery batteries rebased, another four to go.
(https://i.imgur.com/FTMB4lL.jpeg)
Boom!

Nice ! 😀
