IR47 Infantry Regiment Kinsky (Graf F. Kinsky), 2nd Battalion

Its been a while since I posted the last battalion of Austrians. I was surprised how long it had been, but I've managed to finish another! This is the 2nd Battalion of IR47 Kinsky. There were only the two battalions at Marengo, so that is that regiment completed. Again, as in the first battalion, I have used the lovely Blue Moon range. I swapped out a base from the first battalion so that each has a base with an NCO.

 

I have just noticed the flagpole isn't finished, but that can be sorted without a problem. Here are the two battalions together.

And here is the infantry contingent of the army so far, just to show off how impressive two the whole complete regiments looks on the table. I still have five more German battalions waiting in the painting queue, plus one Hungarian battalion, but next up before those is a Hungarian Grenadier battalion, again using Blue Moon figures.

GM August Graf Briey de Landres

For my second brigade, which will consist of two battalions of IR47 Kinsky Regiment, the command base represents GM August Graf Briey de Landres. I've used a Warmodelling General to represent Briey, and the other in possibly from Battle Honours.

I tried to add a bit of scenery to this base, using a bit of broken twig to try for a battle damaged tree trunk. Not sure if it works or not. I'm also slightly unhappy with the horse the officer with the telescope is riding. It's a bit small compared to my other horses. I also found issues with the way the Warmodelling general fitted to his mount. The saddle cloth didn't fit snuggly onto the back of the horse unless the general was at a weird angle. I tried to pad it out with some green stuff, and it looked fine until I took the photos. It's probably fine for the table, but not my favourite base.

And here's the Army so far (minus the artillery) with IR47 Kinsky advancing in column while IR23 march from column into line.
