Wittenberg: New General Staff (and some other refurb's)

Refurbishment and tidy up are necessary some times, I've been working on the Wittenberg general staff, but a couple of other units needed some attention as well - some cavalry and some grenadiers.  Some piccies below plus the new general staff.

1. Cavalry: Chevaux-Legers

One of my Chevaux-Legers regiments was made up of Old Glory Fitz-James horse (JBH-10), but with three horse grenadiers using some spare Irregular Miniature riders on Minifig horses - these have never quite looked right and I thought it was about time to sort them out

Also I noticed that when I painted them I hadn't removed some of the grass 'support' pegs for the horses feet,

these are a bit clunky and once removed made the horses look a lot better. I bought some more Old Glory cavalry figures and painted up three to replace the horse grenadiers - I decided to re-base both regiments as the old bases had become a bit tired.  Chevaux-Legers brigade ready for action ...

2. Infantry - Grenadiers

While I was in the 'refurb' mood,  I felt one of my battalion of grenadiers needed a bit of a lift. The figures have no cast detail on the front of the mitre which makes them look a bit flat...

So I painted the front of the mitre black and added some outline detail in silver, much better ..

3. General Staff

The general staff are now finished, I really enjoyed painting up the Minden staff packs I bought ....

The command tent I made up a while back has been put on a display base with a couple of tents, the display base will sit overlooking my gaming table so the the staff can keep an eye on goings on. The new Minden figures fit in nicely with the rest of the staff ....
