| The French C-in-C with Hussar ADC and generals plus some random dude with a ramrod... Even at this scale a fine level of detail is rewarded. We have a few of the higher command bases, including a Napoleon base, next up will be a few Austrian ones too. Brush work by Tony Laughton. |
 |
| A regiment of Austrian Cuirassiers parades past the camera. These are super neat & detailed, note the lining on the saddle cloths. These and all following pics depict Barry Hill's studio - Hi Barry! |
 |
| These Austrian Grenadiers always catch my eye, those decorative bags on the bearskins are almost hypnotic! Note the high lighting on the blanket rolls too - insanely fiddly to paint! |
 |
| Fuzzy shot of an Austrian foot battery. These are 12lb guns attached to the Grenadier reserves. I love the stoic expression on the bucket holders faces... "Join the army they said. Travel the world the world they said. Hold a bucket... " |
 |
| Chasseurs a Pied move up to save the centre! These are Old Glory toys and they arrive cast in strips of five models although you wouldn't know it from this shot. |
 |
| Austrian line in helmets. These 48 strong battalions are the mainstay of the Austrian infantry strength. These really need me to sort the flags out to avoid the "pike block" look! |
 |
| 24 strong Austrian Chevau Leger Regiment by Old Glory deployed in line. We have four of these to run around with. |
 |
| Austrian Landwehr with outrageous stripey poles. We field these 32 strong, nice details again, check out the buttons. |
 |
| French heavies in line, these are 32 strong large regiments in GdA. Old Glory models again. I might add the two famous Saxon regiments to the French heavy cavalry reserve next year. |
 |
| Eagle eyed Chris watches my every move for signs of absent minded play (cheating). This is a rare shot of me at the table, thanks to Tony for the snapshot - you're a Star mate! |
There you go, hope you enjoy these, I'll try to repeat the exercise again if you approve, let me know.
Best wishes,
Jeremy
Great look to these. Is there a previous post with the basing system you use , sizes, configurations etc
ReplyDeleteNot yet but there can be, I'll give it some thought...
DeleteThanks for commenting Gareth, best wishes,

Loving the close-ups :-) I don't want to be too demanding but if we could have a few more of them interspersed amongst the batreps it would make me very happy! :-)
ReplyDeleteYour wish is my command Robert.
DeleteMaking you Marauder Veterans happy is why I do this wretched blog when sometimes it seems like an echo chamber or I lose my mojo :)
Any other ideas gratefully received.
Thanks & best wishes,
Jeremy
Awesome array of troops!
ReplyDeleteCheers chum - I'm still rather enamored of your rather outlandish headgear.
DeleteBest wishes,
Jeremy
Superb painting! Hard to believe all of this detail is applied to 10mm figures. Your close-ups are unbelievably good.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Jonathan, God bless my new i-phone, never thought I'd say that! The camera is amazing, I'll try to include more in ongoing batreps.
DeleteBest wishes,
Jeremy
Good grief that's some amazing detail in 10mm on the Grenadier caps and Cav saddlecloths! Nice to have the closeups! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Chasseur, people do seem to like these so I'll try to include more in future posts. I hasten to add that I don't paint these, multi talented people like Barry Hill & the two Tonys do all the work!

Impressive looking collection with lots of attention to detail. It looks bloody cold in your games room, woolly hats and all.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Pat.
It is bloody cold at Marauder HQ, woolly hats & long johns!
DeleteYou book arrived today, time to get stuck in to it...
Best wishes chum,
Jeremy
Great looking units Jeremy, adding the standards will really finish them off nicely.
ReplyDeleteAs they say locally, 'Stay warm'
The standards really do need adding you're right - it's just such a fiddly ball ache it hardly bears contemplating.
ReplyDeleteYes we'll try to keep warm mate, no snow here like you've got yet...
Lovely eyecandy and beautiful painting, hats off to the Marauders.
