The other day I completed painting the newly acquired gunners for the 3rd and 4th Light Batteries, part of the IX Armeekorps artillery for my 1870-1871 Prussian forces.
Along with the 3rd and 4th Heavy Batteries, these compose the 2nd Battalion, 9th Artillery Regiment 'Schleswig-Holstein.' The 3rd Battalion is attached to the 18th Infantry Division, IX Armeekorps while the 1st Battalion is attached to the 17th Infantry Division which is currently helping to guard the North Sea coast in northwestern Prussia.
This will basically conclude my painting 1870-1871 forces for a while. Now to complete my Confederate forces so I can run some American Civil War games.

What a wonderfully distinctive helmet the pickelhaube was! A splendid looking battery...
Cheers,
