On the painting bench....WSS.

 I recently went back to adding to my favourite collection- my Age of Louis XIV or Marlburian. I hadn't painted any figures for quite a while- so many others to do!!  A few years in fact so in November I ordered some figures from Front Rank. I decided on Imperial Troops ( Hapsburg Austrians) as I only have two battalions and decided to add two more.

I painted the Daun Regiment and then the Osnabruck Regiment.

I find myself just adding units- even if they didn't serve in any of the theatres that I am gaming.

On the blocks waiting for undercoating

Regt Osnabruck.

Also known as the Lorraine Lifeguard......green uniforms with red cuffs etc.....A Walloon Regiment .....but could double up as Russian GNW if needed !! Just need a flag change!

Just needs to be flocked.
This regiment spent 1701-1705 on the Rhine. From late 1705 to 1708 in Italy and from late 1708 until 1712 in Spain. By that stage it had the pearl grey/white uniforms like the rest of the Imperial Austrian troops. 

Regt Daun. 

Regt Daun ( Guttenstein from 1706)
During the WSS it was in Italy in 1701-2 and Bavaria in 1703.
In 1704 one battalion was in Prague, one battalion was in Italy.
The rest of the regiment served in Bavaria and Germany on the Rhine for the remainder of the war.

My last post for the year! To all of you who have read anything of the waffle I've posted this year- a big "Thank You" and an even bigger one if you have left any comments! They are much appreciated.

A Happy and Good Die Rolling 2024!!
