I've got another Hungarian battalion on deck and will probably go for the Vukassovich Regt. with green facings.

Congratulations - that is a great look. Particularly impressed by the distinctive nature of the belts over the white jackets.

Very very nice.

Just wondering, thats a strange tactical formation for the Austrians, was it just for the picture or are they deployed for a game?

The Grenze look good too.


Cheers, Rob  :)

I actually have yet to have a game with my 10mm troops.  Once I get enough austrians and French, I'll start playing around with black powder and lassale.  These guys were just lined up for the camera.

Thanks.  I paint the jackets a very light cream and then paint the straps a true white.  I then use a light gray to line quickle around the belts and help pop the contrast.
