AWI SYW & RCW ..............

I have had a number of projects being painted in the last few weeks. This can be frustrating but I find it fine to swop from one thing to another as the mood takes me. What it does mean is when I sit  down and concentrate on getting some painting done I can finish off  lots of projects in a  short amount of time.
First up 10 mm SYW Austrian Hussars, these are the Hadik Hussars, these figures are Old Glory and at least the cavalry fit together better than their Cuirassiers, I’ve done a bit more work on the banner since this photo, in 10 mm it is a little less obvious in real life
My second unit of British Infantry for AWI these were again purchased from a friend required a little extra painting to match them with my other figures and then base them etc. Theoretically they are the 4th Foot us the drummer may be in the wrong colour ?
The flag is straight form the Perry box, but I have ordered some more for the next few units, these are 24 man units but I think I will flex between 24 and 20 man units
Finally Zadok the priest who will find himself supporting the imperial forces during the RCW. He is actually a catholic priest picked up at a Bring and buy and then cleverly converted....beard and hat ! This might just possibly be the easiest figure I have ever painted. The plan is he will add certain bonuses and support to the ‘white’ forces.

    I like the variety of troops coming off your painting desk. Especially good to see a return to your 10mm SYW project.

      Thanks Norm very kind, AWI and interesting period..obviously it will be a while perhaps a year or more before I have enough to game but I quite like the sense of a project developing over time 👍
