This is the second combined Grenadier Regiment formed from the companies from the Infantry Regiments Prinz Karl, von Donop, von Trumbach and Wutingau. To make the differentiations a bit more clearer and enjoyable, than lapels and different coloured pom-poms, I played again with the colur and the "hue" of the small clothes. The miniatures, again, are Perry.
I never thought I could get bogged down by this Hessian Grenadier painting marathon that heavily, but it took a while.
Well, two down, one to go (the 3rd Battalion Grenadier Regiment von Minnigerode*).
*the 4th Gren. Batt. von Koehler will be cancelled, because of a) it served mostly just as garrison and b) I might be mad, but not that mad (i.e. Hessian).
Great job on these Hessian grenadiers...waiting for the third one!
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil! I hope I will be faster this time ...
DeleteGreat stuff! Not enough mad for 4th Battalion? Come on!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bart! No, I‘m painting Hessians for over a year now more or less on a row, I'm not Hessian, you know.
DeleteCome on! One more Hessian unit and you will be done for good!
Delete??? for good, as in all of them???

No thanks, I decline and keep my sanity.
