I have commenced my Scottish army for Fresnay, Bauge and Verneuil using Perry Miniatures HYW range, using a mix of English and French figures so they will reflect the influences of both.
The second unit of archers is based for Impetus or Test of Resolve rules. I have given them stuart badges or white crosses. A few more units to come this week before I commence the foot.

I purchased these at Partizan this year, some more Foundry miniatures Gladiators, the miniatures really do stand up to the time test. More to come this week.

These chaps have been hanging around at the rear of my painting desk since February awaiting Foundry shields and transfers from LBM. I purchased both while I was in the UK at Partizan and I completed them last week. I have a second cohort which just needs the command to be painted and they will join my Imperial Roman's also. The figures are from the foundry range.

A piece that has been in my project draw for a long time, finally last week made it to the front as I was struggling with motivation to complete my big Cuirassier unit and Mamelukes.
These miniatures I think were from gripping beast for the warhammer El CID book, so that is going back some time I think. Really happy with the results although I do have a suitable transfer somewhere for the Muslim knights shield…..Somewhere!

The next instalment really is a bit of a folly for my Baden Army is the Ducal squadron of the Dukes bodyguard. The two companies accompanied the duke throughout the duchy and did see action in 1809, rounding up prisoners of war and guarding the river at Strasbourg.

White coat in a Prussian cut, with two rows of 5 bottoms , red facings, collars, cuffs and turn backs, white epaulettes piped in red, buff breeches, white belts, red leather cartridge pouch with ducal badge in silver, tall black boots, white sword knot. Officers, red and gilt sash for officers, epaulette fringes and Aigulettes, sword knot gilt, white breeches. Trumpeter red epaulette fringe, five laced pointed gallons, five inverted chevrons, red cords to trumpet, buff breeches.
I have four figures to convert from the eureka miniatures Garde du corps, I have added them to the line up to be painted in the next month or two.
