From MartinC: 7 Years War Austrians - 10mm (63 Points)

My 7 years War 10mm Austrian project continues with the aim of building the full army for the Battle of Lobositz, the 1st major land battle between the Austrians and the Prussians.


The last 9 battalion guns - I now have 15 of these


Some officers to command brigades and divisions and CinC field Marshall Maximillian Ulysses von Browne to command the whole army on the front. I've added cuffs and lapel colours as they were generally all white with some gold (Ok a lot of) gold, which makes them very boring in 10mm.

***

More great 10mm goodness - I love seeing figures in this scale, particularly from Pendraken - such awesome stuff. My recent output in this edition of the Challenge might not show it, but several large 10mm projects are brewing behind the scenes on my painting desk, and submissions like these help to inspire them along. 

White coats, nice facings, and gold, gold, gold! What's not to love? Oh, to dress like an Austrian commander...anyway, that's 63 points for you. Well done.

  2. Nicely done, Martin. That 10mm collection must be pretty massive by now.

  4. Nice looking Kaiserlichs Mart8n, lovely to see some SYW stuff. Lobositz holds a sweet spot for me, ever since I first read the Wargame. There’s a very good bio of Von Browne by Christopher Duffy.

  6. That's a lovely bit of artillery there - such a tiny scale though! My eyes are watering just thinking about painting something that small!
