My first completed units for 2022: Namely some 18mm Seven Years War French Hussars (Royal-Nassau Regt) by Eureka and some 15mm Napoleonic Russian Pavlovski Grenadiers by AB Figures.
I often get the painting wrong on a unit, but it's not often that the whole unit is wrong before I paint them!
These were the very first Pavlovski Grenadiers out of the mould at AB Figures and it's taken me some 20-odd years to get around to painting them! However, in the intervening years, STACKS of new research has come out of Russia and we now know that only a quarter (one company, split into two flank platoons) of each Pavlovski battalion wore the iconic grenadier mitre cap. The remaining three companies in each battalion wore Fusilier mitre caps, which were shorter and lacked the pompom. That style of figure is starting to appear in 28mm ranges, but AB haven't caught up yet, so sod it, I thought I'd paint them anyway!
(AB figures do actually produce Fusiliers for the earlier Russian army)
The Pavlovski colours are by GMB Flags and the Royal-Nassau Hussars' standard is by Maverick-Models Flags.
