I'll be using the Perry AWI Hessian musketeers in firing line and charging poses to give them a real light troop feel. It'll mean that I'll have to paint the gaiters on but that shouldn't be too much of a problem.<br /><br />Good luck with the new blog, mate.Adam from Lancashirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10265671835363653967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1788158766001730883.post-84125434784196828322010-12-13T17:14:41.339-08:002010-12-13T17:14:41.339-08:00Yes, the pictures are blurry but the rather fine p...Yes, the pictures are blurry but the rather fine paint job is easily discernable. Maybe the Regiment existed, maybe not? Either way, the color combinations are wonderful and I would definitely finish the entire unit. Historical wargaming is based on fact but lives in fiction anyways! If you get around to re-doing the photos, please edit the post for the pure inspiration factor for others. :-)<br /><br />Dave<br />http://chargebayonet.blogspot.com/David Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02438191396854739819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1788158766001730883.post-46701010991439269432010-08-08T14:55:44.068-07:002010-08-08T14:55:44.068-07:00@paintpig
Thanks for the nice comment. I'm wit...@paintpig<br />Thanks for the nice comment. I'm with you, no harm in a fantasy unit. That's one of the brilliant things about this period; Imagi-units aren't just not frowned upon, they're positively encouraged! Imagine the fuss people would kick up if you plonked a ww2 German army down on the table, customised with rose-pink cuffs and trousers.<br /><br />@Stokes Schwartz<br />There are a few nice combinations of colours to be found in frei-corps units which would be great for imagi-nation troops. These are a couple of my favourites:<br /><br />Freicorps von Favrat 1763 (black coats with yellow or green small clothes)<br />http://www.grosser-generalstab.de/tafeln/knoe05/knoe05_07.jpg<br /><br />'Freicorps von Drais (?)' (bright yellow coats)<br />http://digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/dgkeysearchdetail.cfm?trg=1&strucID=125732&imageID=90255&total=64&num=60&parent_id=120436&word=&s=&notword=&d=&c=&f=&k=0&sScope=&sLevel=&sLabel=&lword=&lfield=&imgs=20&pos=64&snum=&e=r<br /><br /><br /><br />I spotted an artillery unit that looked very nice on your blog, grey coats with green facings. I originally thought that Frei-regiment von Gerlach had grey coats. A bit like these:<br />http://nba-sywtemplates.blogspot.com/2009/04/reichsarmee-buchsenmeister-of-upper.htmlAdam from Lancashirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10265671835363653967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1788158766001730883.post-79663692827195127012010-08-07T16:27:16.937-07:002010-08-07T16:27:16.937-07:00Hello there Adam,

I might just have to do a unit of infantry in these colors in on of my mid-18th Century armies.

About the colours dont forget to take into consideration what they look like at table distance, as far as Im concerned it looks pretty bloody good. <br /><br />This unit is mentioned in one of my Pengel and Hurt booklets but not in any detail. P&H did do a great deal of research and even if dated and sometimes mistaken I find them a valuable resource. That said, so what, have a personal fantasy unit I'm putting one in my Armies.<br /><br />regards<br />ppPaintPighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09047331820540221681noreply@blogger.com
