Lovely work as always, Colin. There are some very gameable battles from 1796 and 1799 for your Austrians to fight. I particularly fancy a go at Magnano, or maybe Ostrach or Stockach.

Another French Revolutionary War conversion rolls off the workbench (usually to be lost forever in the morass known as the silvery grey carpet) - this time, Austrian gunners in Rundenhat with rear brim.  

This fills the gap between the Tricorne (as used in the SYW) and the Schiffhut - as introduced around 1806.  I hope that this post inspires you to buy some Baccus gunners and give it a go!

French revolutionary war army now up on the blog.  The "must have army" - you are never short of an opponent (because everyone wants to get rid of you)!  Based for BBB, Baccus figures.  I hope that this army will soon take to the field of battle in Italy.  With some extra troops, I should be able to fight in Europe 1792-99 as well.  Enjoy!

Update from me - Austrian Jaegers & Lutticher Frei-Willinger units now on the blog - here

I hope that this inspires you to have a go.  The Jaegers are AWL02 with a relevant repaint.

More figures on the blog - artillery in Tricornes & Corsehats, plus that AWL01 man with a barrel/sack/whatever as drafted labour from the local infantry!

Yet more Revolutionary figures on the blog - AWL02 skirmisher drummers and flag bearers (Mk2).  I trust that this inspires you to have a go - they are quite fun and effective conversions.

Final post of the day - Austrian Chevaux Leger 1792-98 in green coats.  You'll need SBR05 for the troopers & the Command figures from SAU06 (Kuirassiers) for the Officer, flag bearer & trumpeter.  This is not a problem, as you can order more command figures and fewer troopers when you order your Kuirassiers (which you'll need anyway, to stamp out the French & their dangerous ideas..).  See more here...

I'm very keen on this period too, would love to do 6mm or 10mm but neither have complete ranges

Dear Bunny  You can make quite a few of the troops with a different paint job or a bit of minor conversion.  Though, of course, a properly scuplted range would be nice...
