Finally had some time to sit down and complete some projects this week. I started these chaps while I was in Australia, wrapped them carefully and shipped them with me in my suitcase. A few dings but nothing major, so based the horses and touched up the troopers and matt varnished and based today. Flags on order.

First of the Prussian dragoon regiments almost completed, one squadron to go plus a brigade commander. Then onto some command figures plus artillery crew.

As I have decided to add more Napoleonics to my collection this year, one of the armies you may of noticed last year was my Grand Duchy of Baden. The miniatures I will be using for the army are from the Murawski miniatures range.
A ideal army for wargaming at 1/20, as it is a nice small Division sized army with supporting cavalry, artillery and light infantry. As with most of my armies I like to research and pick a year or battle to focus on. As 1809 is a great campaign period for Baden I will build the army for this period so they can fight against my Austrians.
I will also plan to add a train, Gendarmes and possibly some militia types too which will require some green stuff to complete!
My plan is to build this year
Music
Some regimental music I have found

My last figure post for 2021! I hope to crack on with 2022 as the last of our renovations come to a close in April 2022 (I hope!) 1200 square meters of a 18th century French Maison completed in a bit over four years, then more painting and some new tours and wargame events to hold.
As part of my build for my Napoleonic Austrian army project for 2022 I have decided to paint some Austrians as part of the Analogue painting challenge also to help spur me on.
An Austrian Infantry general de division. A lovely Front rank miniature, that I really enjoyed painting, particularly like the staff officers coat as I really feel it looks correct. My Austrians are a real mix of Front Rank, Victrix, Perry and Revolutionary Armies miniatures to paint over the next twelve months.
cheers

As part of my build for my Napoleonic Austrian army project next year I have decided to paint some also as part of the Analogue painting challenge. First up is an Austrian Hussar cavalry general de division. A lovely Front rank miniature, although all of my hussars will be perry when I paint them I could not resist this figure!
