The Battle of Austerlitz - 15mm Austrian army from 1805 by Bothi
The Hungarians: IR38 and IR55
The first thing I painted for this project was a small infantry unit. Meaning 4 bases of 8 infantry men each. So 32 infantry in total representing about 1400 men. These are to represent the Hungarian troops at the battle (which where a bit better trained than the German troops). I decided to paint these up as the 1st battalions of Infantry Regiment 38 Württemberg (pink with yellow buttons) and Infantry Regiment 55 Reuss-Greitz (dark blue with yellow buttons) as these were both there. The corresponding flags for a first battalion would be a Leibfahne / Emperors Colors (white) and one Ordinärfahne / Ordinary Colors (yellow).
The minis are Fighting 15s from AB Miniatures.
First of all, really cool project. Fantastic to see 15mm Napoleonics here. I will definitely be following!
Ah the AB figures, so pretty! I’ve got quite a pile of Russians, once you go AB, you don’t really want to settle for anything else.
Your units look fantastic with the colourful basing and the glorious flags of the Austrians.
