This company consists of one Hinchliffe SYW officer, one Foundry Prussian grenadier sergeant (in rear rank with halbard), the special Grenadier Books figure (in front rank, consulting the latest tome on military engineering), and nine Crusader Prussian pioneers (from the grenadier command pack). The pioneers were part of an eBay purchase.Each two figures are painted in the regimentals of one of the six regiments of the Carpanian army - Musketeer Regiments Zweibieren, Teutonica, Clausthaler, and Schweiger and Fusilier Regiments von Stuppe and Paulaner. They will probably be brigaded with the converged grenadier battalion and Campbell's Highland Battalion (still a work in progress) to form a special assault force.
They were actually finished in very late November and boosted my November painting total to 43 Olley points -- 12 pioneers, 15 jagers, 5 limbers (3 points each), and one artillery accessory.
Very nice! So far I have only made a couple of pioneers (for my home-sculpted Highlanders), but expect to add a few more one of these days.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. How many command packs did you have to buy to produce this neat unit?
ReplyDeleteBill,
ReplyDeleteSomeone else bought the command packs, didn't use the pioneers, and then offered them on eBay where I procured them. The pioneer in the one Prussian grenadier command pack that I bought was used in a converged grenadier battalion that was profiled in an earlier post.
