I was going to have another Grenz Regiment but when I found out about the Titler Independent Border Battalion with their light blue uniforms (and a name worthy of a 'Carry On' film) I couldn't resist painting them instead ! .
The figures are of course Irregular and have just got based and varnished in time for a game tonight with my wargaming colleague 'A' when they take on the Sardinians .
Smart looking uniform!
ReplyDeleteThe light blue makes a pleasant difference .
DeleteI think they'll have the Sardinians on toast.
ReplyDeleteWe shall see , hopefully a game report in the offing
DeleteTitillating indeed! Smart looking fellows, see what a good tailor and some polish can do for you?
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing the new units in action.
You know the fate of newly painted troops .
DeleteThese are so pretty they are bound to run away in the first three moves...
ReplyDeleteOr less. ;-)
Lovely toys...
All the best. Aly
They are pretty , not sure how they will perform ?.
DeleteThat's amazing. When were they founded? Could they be fielded in a Napoleonic army?
ReplyDeleteYes they did found them here http://www.napoleon-series.org/military/organization/Austria/ArmyStudy/c_AustrianArmyGrenz.html

Not 100% sure on the actual shade of blue for the jackets , my source says light blue an illustration(modern) shows a darker blue
DeleteWell, this is a MUST have unit! Thanks for bringing it to our attention--and in such a handsome way (nicely done!).
