QuoteThese look wonderful! I've been pondering with starting a League of Augsburg/War of the Grand Alliance project myself, and these are great inspiration; I love how the basing and uniforms really play off one another!

Thank you Ingw0, very happy to hear that the thread has been an inspiration! Looking forward to see a project thread with your LoA figures soon in the future  ;)

It has been very little in the way of units done the last couple of months, other project has taken all of my spare hobbying time. This unit of the Swedish Livregementet till häst/Life Regiment of Horse has been sitting on the work bench for weeks with unfinished bases.

One note on the paint scheme, it is deliberately incorrect for the battle of Helsingborg: I'm using an amalgam of 1708 and 1710 uniform details, as I really wanted the very distinct light blue uniform on the table, instead of another standard dark blue.

Well worth getting the very distinct light blue uniform on the table

I'm not dead! It turns out having a child and move into a house kind of eats up your hobbying time!

Anyway, I managed to finish up the last danish cavalry unit on the Helsingborg OoB, the 1st fynske nationale rytterregiment. Definitely felt rusty, 5 months is a long time...

Still to do: only 3 danish infantry regiments, but 4 infantry regiments and two cavalry units for the Swedes.

Once again, not dead, just very little hobby time to spend among too many projects!
After "a lot" of working on Necromunda and WW2 in 15mm I've managed to get another GNW unit finished:
Västgöta 3- och 5-männingsregemente till häst. In the spirit of "getting things finished" I've streamlined how I paint 10mm with less detail work (some would say deliberatly shoddier work). Left to do before I consider this project finished:
1 small swedish cavalry unit
4 swedish infantry regiments
3 Danish infantry regiments
