Today we look at the astounding Austrian Infantrie Regiment Nr. 46, who fought as part of Nordman's Advanced Guard Division at Wagram, 1809.

| 3 bases of regular grade Line infantry, from a 'German' regiment. Mid blue facing colours, and helmets in place of shakos. Once again, I have gone for a special drum on this unit - painting the drum body in regimental facing colours. |
 |
| Although they are 90% white.. the extra regimental facing colours on Austrian regiments does a great job of giving each unit it's own distinct personality on the table. I have grown to enjoy doing these guys a great deal. Which is just as well, since there are hundreds if not more of these all-white troops to come yet !!! |

Great looking figures once again!!!
ReplyDeleteI've really come to enjoy painting Austrians as well - really easy - paint coot and pants white, stain with light blue grey, and paint crossbelts pure white again. Almost done after that, aside form the facing colors, which is the fun part - there are at least 16 different shades, and then you have the Hungarian units.
