Baden Generals 1809-12

 Baden Infantry Generals

Still working on my Baden Napoleonic army in between French cavalry and Prussian Infantry. This is Infantry Brigade commander and my Light Dragoon Cavalry Commander, all figures from Murawski Miniatures lovely Baden Napoleonic range.

I plan to do a small article later this week on the Army of Baden so stay tuned, just for my own sanity mostly for references when painting the infantry! The last cavalry squadron is not far off and should be done by the end of the week, I do need to convert a figure as the standard bearer though. 

The figures have had a few simple green stuff conversions, the ADC received a aiguillette and ribbon and medal from green stuff, General Major Von Harrant had feathers sculpted onto his bicorne and a epaulette fringe on the right shoulder.

Anjou Maine Skirmishers VI

 Dark Age Skirmishers

Another quick unit off the table, I basically done these in between painting the Napoleonic’s figures as a break from belts etc. 

I do enjoy painting dark age - early medieval figures and this  unit can join my Anjou-Maine army for the 9th-11th century battles, which will become a focus in September as we are hosting a French professor of Carolingian to Viking history for three days, visiting sites and wargaming the local battles, so I have much to do, particularly Vikings and Carolingian cavalry. 

A mix of Footsore, Blacktree miniatures and mix of shields, LBM transfers and hand painted.
