Minifigs 25mm Seven Years War

 I haven't managed to do much painting over the last 3 weeks due to other calls on my time - managed some gaming.

I have been trying to work out how to organise my 25mm Marlburians so that I can use them for sieges as well as the occasional field battle.  I tried basing them individually on 2mm bases so they could fit into movement trays but they looked "odd" on the battlements. Also I would need to add a fair amount of cavalry that wouldn't be any use for the Dendermonde project.

While mulling this over I remembered that someone on facebook had offered a collection of 25mm Minifigs SYW figures for sale a few weeks ago.  I got in touch and they were still available so after some haggling I now have a Seven Years War collection that worked out around £1.20 a foot figure painted and based.

The collection is missing some items so I have topped it up with Artillery and some cavalry from Ian Hinds - also Minifigs.

I am in the process of rebasing everything so the whole collection matches.  progress for far:

Prussians so far - some have had the bases finished and flocked.

Austrians so far.

The collection is being based for Honours of War which we use at the Guildford Club and should end up with 10 infantry units, 3-4 cavalry and 4 gun batteries for the Prussian, Austrian and French forces.

32 Austrian cavalry are up next, followed by the rest of the Prussian cavalry and both sets of artillery.

There are then all the French units to sort out.

I am slightly short on some things and will probably add more Prussian Cavalry, some Austrian command and some more medium artillery in the short term.

The french will need artillery, cavalry and commanders adding as well.

I am pleased with the figures, the level of painting and style and the look of the armies for what was a very good price.
