Well Friday was a bit of a red-letter day, not only was it 6 months ‘till Christmas, but I ordered some figures for the first time in years.

Having completed the Irregular Miniatures Austrian infantry that I mysteriously discovered – probably a ‘good idea’ purchase from over a decade ago, I spent a week or so gazing at the cavalry & artillery I had, but remained uninspired to put a brush to them; so, I put together an order for Baccus figures. In addition to cavalry and artillery I ordered Grenadiers to provide some backbone for the army - a Corps of Veteran Infantry.

I’m figuring that although there will undoubtedly a size issue between Baccus and Irregular the different arms should hide these. Of course, the Grenadiers were the biggest and bravest infantry chaps.

There is an added bonus to the switch to Baccus as they come in strips of 4 infantry and 3 cavalry, rather than 6 & 4 for Irregular, so less painting, hopefully!
Cheers for now
