The Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge

Welcome to the Painting Challenge. Here you will find the fabulous, fevered work of miniature painters from around the world. While participants come from every ethnicity, gender, age and nationality, they have three things in common: they love miniatures, they enjoy a supportive community, and they want to set themselves against the Challenge. This site features the current year's event along with the archives of past Painting Challenges. Enjoy your visit and remember to come back soon.

Iain W 28mm Napoleonic Austrian Salzburg Landwehr 130 points

Here is another Landwehr unit, Salzburg,next to no white but yellow facings. These are mostly Perry bodies with Victrix heads. The officer is a Perry plastic Confederate as are the drums, drummers arms and flagpole and arms with Victrix bodies.

A casualty marker for last weeks lower Austrian Landwehr and a generic Austrian Infantry marker,as I decided I would like the Salzburg marker to be wearing the right hat!

Flag by Victrix once more, the older pattern used by Landwehr. I'm getting used to painting the flagpole as it doesn't take as long now!

Working on some Austrian cavalry next,lets see how we go,points 24 x 5 so 120, plus 2 x 2.5 for the casualty bases, so 125 to my total and the Napoleonic duel.

All the best

Iain

It's always a pleasure to have a close look at your work Iain, and this is no disappointment. Love these Salzburgers (sic?) with their round hats. Great basing too. I also love the mixing and matching of bits between manufacturers and eras. I'm throwing in a few points for the fall and conversion work.

However, shouldn't a Salzburg unit replace its drummer with a Nun warbling on about lonely goat herds?
