JohnB 1866 Austrian Infantry 112pts

Sticking with KuK forces, but turning the clock back a few years, I offer 40mm homemade toy soldiers in stosstaktic mode. This figure casts well and is fun to paint. 



The officers have discarded their great coats and present themselves bravely as superb targets for the Dreyse needlegun.

16 infantry @ 7 points = 112 points

I do love these home casts, they make me want to pick up my Britain's cannon and fire matchsticks at them.  Lovely poses and brushwork.  Aces all around, except that you forgot to label your posts!

  1. Beautiful work as usual, John (love the brave officer in his white gloves no less)! You should consider making some casualty figures for your collections, but perhaps that is an affront to the whole Toy Soldier aesthetic.

  7. These are awesome, John! Definitely a niche part of the hobby I want to try, but the missus is against home casting. Maybe one day...
