18th Century Oronegrean infantry

Hello one and all. Today I present to you a substantive post. A really substantive one. The first in quite some time. Here we have a completed Oronegrean unit. 20 men, one officer, one flag bearer, and two musicians. There is also an additional soldier who is a guard for the regular infantry commander.
I seem to have misplaced what I usually use for a background so this will have to do for now.
Oh and later today I'll do a post on the Oronegro blog for these two
The whole lot of them. I am very glad I chose this colour scheme. The dark blue goes well with the yellow and white
close up on the command group. A high ratio of men compared to the unit as a whole but standard for Oronegrean units of the type.

the right flank
 Well a bit more on the troops themselves. This is a unit of 20 regular Oronegrean soldiers with a command group of 4. This unit of 20 is one of two that make up a combined Oronegrean Century which also includes one unit of 20 Cazadores and one unit of 16 Grenadiers . This calls for each of the units to be self contained with their own complement of officers.. A combined Century such as the one these men belong to is the smallest strategic unit of the Oronegrean Army able to fight by itself in a number of situations.

Anyway that is all for this post. Hopefully these guys will get their own post on the Oronegro blog soon.

And as always have a good day/night everyone.

  1. They look great! I'm having having increased difficulty in resisting the urge to paint up 1/72 armies... =)

    1. thanks. It is a heard urge to resist. And once you turn to the dark side it will consume you with an over powering urge to buy more and more figures to paint.
