Battle Honors' Austrians in Casquet

Without any work on the 1799 project since March, a unit for this project finally makes its way into and out from the painting queue.  While the project saw a flurry of units emerging from the work desk in the first three months of 2019, no additional reinforcements until now.  Why the long hiatus?  I suppose the San Martino scenario motivated more focus in that direction.  Having put San Martino in the books for now, focus returned to other projects. 

The unit off the painting desk today is a Battle Honors' FRW Austrian  infantry battalion in casquet led by an AB mounted officer.  The Battle Honors' Austrians are neither as nicely sculpted nor as large as the AB counterpart but I had enough of these fellows to field one more battalion so why not.  Why not, indeed!  These thirteen figures muster out as IR#3.  Two battalions of French Consular Guard are in work for the 1799 project too.  Sitting in the Ready-to-Go box, primered, are 36 early French from 19th Century's newest FRW releases.

A variety of other projects are seeing action at the painting desk including Kushite archers, another Celtic warband, SYW Russian infantry, ECW horse, and who knows what else.  For now, the painting desk is busy.
