| Austrian Staff sets comprising Elite Miniatures with a few Connoisseur officers on foot |
The Austrians for this project of mine have been slowly being built up in the past few years. As always, I like to have historical orders of battle complete with regiments in the correct facing and the right uniform. I know its a bit OCD however I would be reluctant to put out infantry in shako headgear rather than the leather casket for a battle in this 1805-07 era.
I know...pretty expensive decision making process right there let me tell you!
These figures are a combination of my painting as well as Brad Smiths, who I picked a couple of mounted Generals off at Cancon many years ago. He did a wonderful job on them.

| Slightly different angle. I do like the sculpting style of Peter Moreby and those old Gilder specials are wonderful |
 |
| The dark Oberock looks great on this figure - a command stand for the Grenadier Reserves! |
 |
| Some of the Austrian forces being raised for the period |
 |
| I do very much like Elite Miniatures animation |
 |
| Some Grenzer up on the shelf as well as an old Nathan painted "Austrian meets Russian" command stand |
 |
| Some additional cavalry |
 |
| A Hussar regiment waiting for me to get my backside into gear and add another three squadrons...at least! |
Not far away now from putting down the brush, basing materials and varnish and playing a few games of General D'Armee with all these lads.
