After no work on the 28mm Peninsular War project crossing my painting desk since the mustering of the Vistula Lancers (see Vistula Lancers) in February, off from the workbench today is a 17 figure battalion of Baden Line infantry.
These fine Murawski Miniatures decamp as the second battalion of the 3rd Baden Infantry Regiment. Great figures with fine, detailed sculpting. The sculpting is in the style of Minden,Fife & Drum, and Brigade Games. That is, having a slender build with anatomically pleasing proportions.
The Peninsular War project gains another reinforcement for the French. With so many varied and interesting French allies, it has been difficult to maintain parity with their opposition. More work is needed to bring the British back into balance.
Baden sent the 4th Regiment of two battalions and one gun to the Peninsula. Interestingly, the first battalion of the 4th and the second battalion of the 3rd were combined to form the 4th Infantry Regiment. So in the Peninsular War, the 4th will field two battalions with different facings. When will the 4th's sister battalion see action on the painting desk? Well, that may be awhile.
Thanks, Peter! It was your inspiration and salesmanship that made these Badeners possible.
Now to concoct an interesting scenario to pit Britain vs France in the Peninsula. Maybe another One Hour Wargames scenario is in order? Remember Arroyo Con Pollo?
Excellent work Jonathan! It's great to see more and more painted examples of our Baden range. Mind if we show them off on our (Murawski) Facebook account?
As usual, Jonathan, your units look very well turned out and battle ready. I like these chaps a lot. I have some 6mm Badeners in my lead pile, you are making me want to pull them out and have a go at them. I will certainly keep this post handy as a uniform guide.
Thank you, Mark! Yes, I chose the flag with red to match the facing color. My research showed the 3rd carried the red cross and not the blue. I may have to dig up my research to confirm.
Outstanding detail and basing Jonathan one of the units I want to paint up for my Peninsular project thanks for posting
ReplyDeleteThank you, Stephen! These are fine figures and would go well with your own Peninsular War project.
DeleteAnd very smart they look too.
ReplyDeleteRapenheim makes even a dullard look sharp!
DeleteThese look even better in person. We should really try out a Peninsula game some time.
ReplyDeleteVery kind, Jake! Peninsular War scenario could be next out of the chute if you like.
DeleteWooW! Fantastic minis Jonathan!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteExcellent battalion Jonathan!
ReplyDeleteAppreciate that, Mike!
DeleteAs you well know, I love the Badeners, and you've done a great job on yours, Jon.

ReplyDeleteThanks! Portuguese...yes, I could use another battalion or two.
DeleteGreat figures nicely painted Jonathan, cool to see them available.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Paul. It is good to see these often forgotten troops enter into French allied armies.

Thank you, Michael! These are nice figures. I have a second battalion of the lads to paint one day.
DeleteI'm from pullman living in Texas. Good to know there's still wargamers on the Palouse!
ReplyDeleteYes! Still a few wargamers on the Palouse!
DeleteGreat job, missed these, I see you've chosen the matching banner too!
