28mm Celtic cavalry unit 3

 

28mm Hessians: Two 6pdr batteries

Back in November 2021 I painted two guns and crew and I've had the remainder lurking around to finish but I've avoided them as the guns are a chore. But now they are done and that sorts out the Hessian artillery for my army. Hesse-Cassel was somewhat light on artillery and during the early SYW had to borrow 12pdrs from their Hanoverian neighbours.

For details about Christian Rogge's colour scheme for the guns see his blog at https://crogges7ywarmies.blogspot.com/

The gun models themselves are from Minden Miniatures and the crews a mix of Black Hussar and Perrys.

 

28mm Hessians: IR 2 Füsilier-Regiment von Bartheld

 

Its quite a while since I added to my Hessian force to fight my French army. The latter is about 75% complete with just the cavalry to finished. But the Hessians need attention so here I have added a fusilier regiment, with it's grenadiers which will be converged with those of IR4. I'll finish another fusilier regiment before the end of the year. The uniforms and flags are for the end of the war.

Figures are from Black Hussar.

28mm Celtic cavalry 1 and 2

 

The first two of seven cavalry units planned. We are in the home stretch in this project.

40mm Austrian:Kreisinfanterieregiment Württemberg

This is the last of the regulars in my Austrian/Reich army although I still have one Grenz battalion to paint. Blue coats with yellow facings make a pleasant change and the lovely flags come from Fredrick Aubert. This was technically a Fusiler regiment and had mitres at some stage in it's history. Soubise considered it to be 'average' which was a step up from many other Kreis units.

40mm Austrian Converged Grenadier battalion

 

The third, and last, of my Converged Grenadier battalions for my 40mm army.

28mm Celtic chariots 2 (Victrix)

 

The second, and last, batch of chariots. They were fun to assemble and paint and are lovely models.
