Splendid little chaps, RMD.

Most colourful and excellent flat chaps, Neil. And I think the 8th Army have come out really well.

Very nice work, Mark and Neil. As GM says, those flats are really well done, Neil.

Mark, is there a SYW force you haven't done yet? Some Archbishop's church guard, perhaps, or the Transylvanian Postal Service? ;)

Thanks all!

Hmmm, it's about time I had a tot up...

I have 12-16 figures per battalion or cavalry 'regiment'. A 'regiment' might actually be a half-regiment (e.g. Prussian hussars and some dragoons, as well as some very large French regiments), or it might represent 2 or 3 tiny regiments lumped together (e.g. most French, British, Hanoverian & Hessian cavalry regiments), or it might be a unit of massed cavalry elite companies (e.g. Austrian Carabiniers and Horse Grenadiers). The grenadier battalions listed only count massed battalions, not regiments historically titled 'grenadier'. 'Skirmishers' are skirmisher stands of 3-6 figures. Guns have 3 or 4 crew figures. I haven't totted up all the generals, ADCs, casualty marker figures, etc:

Prussia - 46 Inf, 11 GB, 9 CR, 6 DR, 13 HR, 8 Sk, 14 guns
Austria - 45 Inf, 7 GB, 10 CR, 10 DR, 11 HR, 16 Sk, 20 guns
Sweden - 10 Inf, 3 CR, 4 guns (and as much again unpainted)
Reichsarmee - 24 Inf, 5 GB, 3 CR, 2 DR, 7 guns
Saxony - 1 CR, 3 ChR (also a shitload of unpainted infantry, cavalry and artillery)
Bavaria - 10 Inf, 1 gun
Wuerttemberg - 10 Inf, 3 GB, 1 gun
Great Britain - 8 Inf, 1 GB, 4 CR, 3 DR, 4 Sk, 5 guns
Russia - Loads unpainted, but nothing started yet
France - 43 Inf, 2 GB, 6 CR, 2 DR, 1 HR, 14 Sk, 10 guns (stacks more unpainted)
Hanover - 8 Inf, 1 GB, 2 CR, 1 DR, 2 Sk, 4 guns (stacks more unpainted)
Legion Britannique - 5 Inf, 1 DR, 10 Sk
Pfalz - 3 Inf, 1 DR, 1 gun
Hesse-Cassel - 7 Inf, 1 CR, 1 DR, 4 Sk, 4 guns (stacks more unpainted)
Brunswick - 2 Inf, 1 gun
Schaumburg-Lippe-Bueckeburg - 1 Inf
Wuerzburg - 4 Inf
Mainz - 2 Inf

So that's 228 infantry battalions, 30 grenadier battalions, 39 cuirassier/horse regiments, 3 chevauxleger regiments, 27 dragoon regiments, 25 hussar regiments, 58 skirmisher stands and 72 guns.

Including all the generals, odds and sods, that's 3,802 foot, 1,389 horse and 72 guns. Alarmingly, most of that has been painted in the last three years (the only armies painted previously were the Austrians, Swedes, most of the Saxons, around half of the Prussians and some of the Reichsarmee and Bavarians)! :shock:

I also really want to do some WAS armies - Dutch, Spanish, Genoese, Piedmontese and Neapolitan.
