From Iain W: 28mm Austrian Napoleonic Infantry (485 points)

Here are four battalions ( of twenty four figures) of Austrian infantry in mostly Perry plastics with some additional Foundry and unknown metal command figures with added Victrix heads on 45mm x 45mm x 2mm bases from Warbases. They are in pink facings Ferdinad Von Wurttemberg  38 Walloon, in yellow facings Josaias Coburg Moravian 22 , in dark green facings Baron Freilich 28 and in deep red facings d'Aspre Bohemian 18 , all at Wagram 1809 in their neoclassical helmets, two units have the first battalions  white Colonels colour and the  others have the yellow national  colour. The colourful facings are one of the best bits about the Austrian line infantry, painted in GW contrast paint (apothecary white, thank you Mr Bromley!) Liquatex burnt umber and black acrylic ink and various citadel ,vallejo and miniature paints I got from orcs nest in seven dials in London when they used to stock them. The aim this year is to paint 400 Napoleonic figures plus Romans and anything else that takes my fancy but this is almost a quarter of that target, I've got another ninety six Napoleonic figures partially completed, I've taken to painting these already based as it saves a bit of time  ( every little helps!) and means I concentrate a bit more on the front figure, which also helps time wise. With the Austrians the flagpoles are always fun with their stripes to add a little colour to a rather restrained Napoleonic uniform. I do like them, which is good as I still have hundreds left! 

Google has managed to mix the order but you get the idea! 

We have 96 x 28mm @ 5 points each which should get me 480 points towards my total and  the Napoleonic duel and take me past the target Curt set for me so I can relax, on the second painting tray I've got some late Romans that I need to finish at least one unit of  before the end of the challenge, just to keep Peter happy! 

All the best

Sylvain: I'm always pleased to see point bombs from the Monday Crew. These Austrian infantrymen are superb. Somehow, the yellow trims provides some nice highlights. Congratulations on going beyond your set target, that's what the Challenge is for :-). I have added 5 points for the flags.
