Brunswick Cavalry by Adler

I have had these figures since Blog Con One but they have sat waiting basing ever since. I bought them via Dave D of One Man and His Brushes Fame. Whilst the collection was not Dave's he had painted up a number of the units and these are some of those figures.

As mentioned in the title these are Brunswick Cavalry by Adler and Dave got all the detail out of the sculpts.

I have based up enough figures for the two regiments which leaves a few lancers and plenty of Hussar figures left unused. These figures are now part of my sons army as I slowly build up his British. I just need to do him a few command bases and he is ready for a game now. 

So after far far too long I finally finish off all basing up all the painted figures bought so long ago. Just about the same time as I plan to start work on the Polish I got in the same deal. Before that though I will be painting up some more Persian 6mm which should see them on the gaming table sooner than later.

Brunswick Rebased and Sanity Check

Part of a load of 6mm lead that Dave D organised for me and Lee included a bunch of Brunswick units. I kept them tucked away and gave them my son for Christmas still based as they arrived. At the time I was not 100% sure how I would go about it, possibly sabot them or total rebase?

Enough figures to form four Battalions, I finally compromised on rebasing them to my basing style but where possible leaving the original basing in play as it looked very nice. I was a little short on command so one battalion is short the correct figures. Dave has also sent on some more unpainted Brunswick troops so these will get some reinforcement but they are some way behind my son's British Peninsular force I am about to start.

He also has four batteries of artillery and three command stands all finished. The cavalry still need to be rebased so something else to look forward to doing.

Today marks the fourth day of an all out painting offensive, the fruits of which you should see in the coming days but for the last two and a half days I have been working on what was to be twelve regiments of British cavalry that will now be eleven (five over strength Dragoons) as they are short by one strip and the British only have five regiments. As I am not painting up any KGL I thought it better to add the spares into the other five units.

These are now at the inking stage and if such work was not maddening enough I made an error that meant repainting one unit almost altogether and of course I was at the finishing stage! Still these things tend to be done just the once and when I come to paint this regiment again I won't make the same mistake again.
