Two On The Go

ONE advantage of having 54mm toy-soldier and 10mm model-soldier projects on the go simultaneously is they reduce irritating downtime caused by waiting for paint to dry.
I have primed the four 54mm uhlans with my usual black primer, and while that dried got on with basing the officers of my War of the Austrian Succession 10mm armies.

Mid-18th Century Update - Saxony

MY Saxon army is small, and as yet without a general, but shows promise.
Saxons in neat array
In the front row, either side of two 12pdr guns, are battalions of Niesemeuschel and (in red) Leibgrenadier Garde foot. Behind them (left to right) are battalions of Königin, Prinz Xaver and Graf von Brühl foot.
The horse are Leibregiment cuirassiers, Adeliges Kadettenkorps heavy horse, Graf von Rutowsky heavy horse (officially designated as dragoons, but in reality heavy), Sibilski chevauxlegers and Königlicher Prinz cuirassiers.
In all, the Saxons have five battalions of foot, two squadrons of cuirassiers, two more squadrons of heavy horse and a squadron of chevauxlegers.
