From PeterM: Just a little bit Austrians;)

During these two weeks I have not painted as much as he wanted. A lot of work = (
I picked up a lot of infantry and Cuirassiers simultaneously.
But, it was very difficult for me ...

But I had a bit! 

Meet the base, angry Austrian moustached men - grenadiers !!!
 





They were the most powerful elite all Austrian infantry! Personally, I really like their triangular bearish caps (chair)!






And this is how they look with ordinary infantrymen (base painted in the last time - does not count)



 This is all I have today! 6 figures = 30 points
Next time, I hope - will have more;)


MilesR: There may be just 6 figures, but they are superbly painted so very well done.

  2. VERY nicely done - I think that a standing Napoleonic/Lace Wars 'bonus' for the detailing would more accurately reflect the time taken. Maybe count them as a 40mm figure for 7 points each? Just a thought

    2. I think the issue with that is the rabbit hole you could go down with regards "quality" points. More points for washes and highlights instead of dry brushing? NMM? what if the lace/detail isn't very well picked out? The genius of the challenge is the simplicity and the fact the quality is left to each participants own standards and style. Keep it simple says I :)

  12. Excellent grenadiers, Peter! They may only number six, but they are an incredibly well done six!
