Here they are, the first 4 miniatures for a unit of 16 that i hope to finish soon. There are Fornt rank and they are superbly sculpted, a really nice fig to paint. I think that they represent the "De Ligne" regiment, first battalion because of the white flag. link |

Indeed. Those are my boys. Great job too……though to be strictly accurate you should get rid of the pompom as this regiment did not have them. |

Lovely paintjobs. I'm not entirely certain but I don't think that Austrian drummers had reversed colour coats in this period (shame really as it looks good.) |

de Ligne's drummers had rose coats in the WAS and probably the early part of the SYW. They probably switched to the 1755 regulation white drummer coats towards the middle-end of the SYW. |

Thank you, i toke the info from kronoskaf, my english is not very good, and it took me a lot of time tho learn about the flags and some subtile information concerning the uniforms… it is a very glamourous era! with beautifull uniforms. I have two mounted commanders, did they were present im the units? as battalion comanders? |

a mounted officer is ok? Yes. The most senior officers like Lt Colonels and Majors were often mounted. he will wear the same uniform? Yes, other than wearing riding boots instead of shoes and gaiters. |
