Napoleonic 1809 Austrian Project

...oops...forgot to add text and photos with this posting...sorry about that guys & gals! :oP

During the month of October I finished off my Saxon Corps, the figures are based all I need to complete the Corps is to scheduled a day to flock the bases along with more group (brigade) photos of Infantry and Cavalry.

Anyway... I have been busy painting/working on my 1809 Austrian/Hungarian Line Infantry regiments/project as well during October. The figures are from 2nd Edition Old Glory 28mm Napoleonic Austrians range. The figures paint up well and look good! :o)

Napoleonic Austrian Line Infantry

28mm Old Glory 2nd Edition Miniatures: 1809 Austrian Army Project.

Primed - sprayed the figures Light Gray added white and other details later. The figures paint up well and look good to me :o) Planning on putting together 4 Line Regiments (32 figure battalions)

Napoleonic Austrian Landwehr

28mm Old Glory 2nd Edition: 1809 Austrian Army Project.

Austrian Line Infantry Miniatures painted as Mahrische Landwehr. Completed 2 x Battalions (each with 32 figures) 

Saxon Light Cavalry

28mm Eagle Miniatures: Painted this Saxon von Polenz Chevauleger cavalryman after a break painting Napoleonic Infantry. My Saxon Infantry Corps - Cavalry Brigade support units will consist of Two Chevaulegers (Light.Dragoons) Regiments, One 1813 Ulan (Lancers) Regiment (to be used for the 1812 Campaign Russia as well) and One Hussar Regiment. I'm thinking of basing the Cavalry, 2 figures on 40mm x 50mm stands. (6 bases per Regiment)

Saxon Light Infantry Regiment

28mm Elite Miniatures:

Two (12 figures each) Light Infantry Battalions. Two (2 figure each) Skirmisher stands will be added attached to each Light Battalion. 

2nd and 1st Battalion Command stands.

It seems, during my online research, "Germanic" Light Infantry units during the Napoleonic Wars stained/painted their Muskets/Rifles black? I'm not to sure.. but anyway I painted some figures with brown and black muskets. Also I'm not to sure about the musket belts/straps should it be red leather or black? The Saxon Jäger Company used black stained rifles & leather straps or am I wrong? :o)

2nd Battalion

1st Battalion

Skirmishers

Currently working on my 2nd Light Infantry Regiment (2 Battalions)

In my next post I will display brigade/group photo shoots of my painted units. Saxon Infantry brigades had mixed units i.e. 1 or 2 Line Regiments, 1 or 2 Grenadier Battalions and 1 Light Infantry Battalion. 

oh!... by the way, main source of information for my painted Saxon units are from
