Reinforcements for the Spanish enterprise

Charles Hapsburg and his friends get some extra support this week with an Austrian gun and general recently added to the Confederates.
Uniform details were taken for the watercolours by Rudolf Donath

Gun colours as suggested in Nick Dorrell's 'Marlborough's Other Army'.

Brown coated Austrian Officer based on the famous painting of Prince Eugene by van Schuppen


Hopefully by Sunday they will also have the Jorger Dragoons ready for action.

  1. Super brushwork, Nathan! Your choice of reddish-brown for the horseflesh is a handsome one,

    1. Thanks Jonathan. Vallejo Cavalry Brown - it also makes a good base coat for painting red on top of.

    1. Thanks FMB. I like these older types of artillery with all of their metalwork.

    1. Thanks Peter. As I get older and more inclined to want the figures on the table, I'm finding that I'm using washes a lot more. This is the Vallejo Game Colour Flesh wash and it has very good coverage.

    1. Artillery from this period is, like the rest of the era, very pretty and fun to paint.
