59th Jordis Regiment – Completed

Here they are, resplendent in white – the 59th Jordis Regiment ready to follow General Mack (if only he could learn to read that map).

 

The figures I used are:

20 x AN.7 Musketeer, marching
1 x AN.1 Officer, charging
1 x AN.26 Officer, marching (DK)
1 x AN.2 Drummer (DK)
1 x AN.4 Standard Bearer (Clayton


I’ll be staying on an Austrian theme for the next unit.

A Jordis regiment eh, they'll all be saying whey aye man deek at them gadgies ower there and stuff like that.
Good work though, the white uniforms really stand out.
Regards,
Paul.

They're beautiful! They look so nice I'd be tempted to make them a super-large unit with another 4 strips, after all Austrian units were large and they wouldn't be that powerful under M&M.

Stryker said...

Paul, no doubt their marching song will be "Fog on the Danube"!

Matt said...

Very very smart looking fellows. I take it the Newcastle Brown is inside the backpacks?

WSTKS-FM Worldwide said...

A lovely unit!

Best Regards,

Stokes

Stryker said...

Rob, I couldn't face painting any more due to snow blindness!

Stryker said...

Matt, best place for it if we are to fight the French!

Stryker said...

Cheers Stokes!

David said...

Those are just glorious, and unlike me, you have even painted the model of the windmill in the background!

Wellington Man said...

They look gorgeous Ian! Very Crisp.
Best wishes
WM

Stryker said...

David, every Napoleonic game needs a windmill!

Stryker said...

WM, crisp is the right word, they will certainly be visible on the table top!

Just thrilled you have found the faith...as for your favorite Austrian general, just send him off to find out what "gadgies" are and leave these fine fellows to follow General Klenau. I really feel deep respect for that Fahne, Ian. Don't even breathe that I should follow your example. Now, where did I leave my snow goggles....

Aly Morrison said...

A lovely looking unit and a fine piece of painting Ian.
They should be a magnificent sight/target on the battlefield.

All the best. Aly

Stryker said...

Nigel, glad you approve but I could never do that to poor old Mack - he will remain in command!

Stryker said...

Thanks Aly, I'm sure they will be fine in their first battle (not)!

James Fisher said...

Paul's comment; what a crack up!
They are outstanding Ian and stand out too! I really like the shade of orange that you have used.
Regards, James

Lovely paint work there IAN. I've always liked the Austrian Napoleonic Uniform.

Stryker said...

Thanks James, who doesn't like orange facings?

Stryker said...

Kev, glad you like them!

Honestly you lot, you can tell they are not actual Geordies because they would be wearing T shirts.

Lovely job!
