Bavarian Light Infantry

Another Bavarian Light Infantry battalion - this time the first battalion of the 2nd 'Salern' Light Infantry. The officer and soldiers are Essex miniatures; the drummer and standard bearer from Chariot Miniatures.

Bavarian Line Infantry

The Second Battalion of the Bavarian 4th 'Salern' Line Infantry Regiment.  The drummer and officer figures are from Chariot Miniatures, the rank and file from Essex Miniatures.

Bavarian Light Infantry

Further building up my Bavarian division for the Battle of Eckmuhl in 1809, this battalion is from the 1st Light Infantry Regiment which was part of Baron Rechberg's Brigade.  The 15mm figures are from Essex, with the officer and drummer from Chariot Miniatures.  The flag is downloaded from warflag.com.

Bavarian Foot and Horse Artillery

The orders of battle for the Bavarian Divisions in the Eckmuhl campaign call for 2 foot batteries and 1 horse battery per Division in the Shako ruleset.  I bought these Essex Miniatures figures at the Colours show in Newbury in September.

Bavarian Chevaux Legers

The first regiment of Bavarian cavalry painted - in the uniforms of the 1st Chevaux-Legers (Light Cavalry), the 'Kronprinz' Regiment - ready for the Battle of Eckmuhl.  I'm not actually sure that this Regiment carried a standard into battle but I've included one with artistic licence.  The 15mm figures are by Essex, the standard from warflag.com.

Bavarian ADCs

A couple of Bavarian Aides-de-camp to assist the Generals that I recently painted.  These are Old Glory 15mm French Hussars, painted as Bavarian Hussar Officers.

I repositioned the sword arm on this officer and changed the horse to give a responsive ADC as opposed to a charging Hussar

Again I used a different horse, repositioned the rider and refashioned his right arm from delivering a sabre cut to delivering a packet of orders

Bavarian Line Infantry

Continuing with the German theme, another battalion of Bavarians - the 2nd Battalion of the 1st 'Konig' Regiment.

KGL Line Infantry

Another battalion of British infantry (Essex miniatures) rescued from the 'lost drawer of old lead' and painted up - this time as soldiers from the 1st Battalion King's German Legion.

Bavarian Line Infantry

A second Bavarian line infantry battalion.  Once again 15mm Essex Miniatures with a warflag.com standard; acrylics with gloss varnish.

Austrian Dragoons

Another completed regiment of Austrian cavalry - in anticipation of refighting the Battle of Eckmuhl at some point in the next year.  These are the 1st 'Erzherzog Johann' Regiment of Dragoons.  The figures are Old Glory 15mm, painted in acrylics and gloss varnished.

Bavarian Generals

More summer painting - a batch of Bavarian Generals for Shako.  Old Glory 15mm figures.
