More Austrians

 The bank holiday provided the time to rebase more Warrior Miniatures Austrians.  On this occasion the batch consisted of six battalions.  Two are German line infantry, two, with the blue breeches are Hungarian line infantry, then there are two Reserve units.  One is Austrian Landwehr in campaign dress and the other (I believe) is the Salzburg Landwehr, the guys in green.

I also found two spare gunners, so I painted a commander and made up another battery.

Next will be another batch of Landwehr.  After that it will be a case of forming some more units from the odds and ends left from the reorganisation.  That should provide another 4 or 5 battalions.

Austrian Army Review, Grenadiers, Staff and Artillery

 The bank holiday presented the opportunity to finish off the next tranche of Warrior Austrians, originally painted by Jeffers. This time, I reorganised and based three combined grenadier battalions, another two line battalions, the staff officers and all of the artillery.

The combined grenadier battalions are those with white flags, with two more line battalions in the foreground.

A view from above gives a better impression of the grenadiers.  They are made up from the grenadier companies from the line battalions.
The complete Austrian staff.looking splendid as they survey the field.
And finally the artillery.  There are currently seven batteries, but I found some more gunners and will make up an 8th unit.
As I put these away I am soaking another load of infantry.  There are more line battalions plus some landwehr units to come.
