6mm Austrians from Baccus
Four line infantry, two light infantry and two artillery for a total of eight units.
Zoomed in view...
All I have left to do are two units of cavalry, and my 1HW Austrian army set will be complete.

Been working on terrain too. The felt I ordered arrived, and I tried a (for me) new hill making technique by "gift wrapping" some beveled wood blocks in the same felt I'm using for the flat terrain. A bit stylized, but very practical. Trees have arrived as well -- I had nothing appropriate for 6mm minis on a 15" square battlefield -- and I mounted them on 1" round bases.
Of course the next steps are to play out a full game, put up a bat rep, and then finish painting my Austrian cavalry.
After that some more terrain. I still have some buildings to paint, some blue and tan felt to cut into rivers and roads, and some hobby wood to build a bridge or two.
Happy New Year. Do you have a room set aside to paint and does the paint every give you headaches?
ReplyDeleteI do have a small room in the basement set aside for painting, but that's just so I have a quiet space to work. I use acrylic paints, so there's no odor, no fumes and no headaches.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and Tim, too!
Oh, that's good, no odor, fumes or headaches. Very cool. Nice quiet place to paint is nice too.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you guys as well.
Very cool.
ReplyDeletelove it - sometimes going 100% stylized has it's own charm. Here it very much suits the small battlefield idea. Love the project - keep going! While I'm working in 25mm and 40mm mainly now, it's interesting to see a 6mm project in the works.
