Hi All, Newbie here – ive developed a taste for 19 century in 28mm and have a bunch of cavalry, artillery and infantry for for the Italian wars of independance. Problem is – I dont know where to start. Can anyone suggest good online presence for a general intro to the uniforms so I can get going on painting? Ive got Sardinians. any start is a good start! |

Also look at the forums of miniatures companies, as sometimes information is there. |

I would guess you will eventually get around to fielding some Austrians. If so, I'd highly recommend the two Osprey volumes published in 1999 by Darko Pavlovic. These offer a very comprehensive look atr infantry and cavalry uniforms, but unfortunately leave out artillery |

THanks all – yes I have the Austrians also ready to paint – i just figured I would ask one question at a time! |
