Ompteda's 2nd KGL Brigade - Almost Finished

Last year, about the time I lost my painting mojo, I was very close to finishing Ompteda's KGL Brigade, part of the OOB of Allied I Corps for 'The Hundred Days'.

The figures arrived for the light battalions, I painted them up, and one battalion was left to languish, painted but unbased on their lollipop stick.

Where are our chums?

A sad day for all.

Now, after a long wait 'in reserve', I finally got around to sticking them down onto the base for gaming. I'm going to have a 'basing day' over the weekend, and get all the Dutch-Belgian cavalry and other unfinished bases done, where full photos of the deployed brigades will be furnished.

However, I didn't want to leave the KGL unphotographed, even in their present state. So, below, you'll see the Germans 90% ready for the table. The battalions present are:

1. 1st KGL Light Battalion
2. 2nd KGL Light Battalion
3. 5th KGL Line Battalion
4. 8th KGL Line Battalion

As with all the units that I'm painting for this army, good painting guides can be found here: http://centjours.mont-saint-jean.com/organigrammes.php. Simply use the organisational diagrams to navigate to the brigade/unit you want to paint, bring up the uniform plate and crack on.

For links to the units shown here, see: http://centjours.mont-saint-jean.com/organigrammeBRcps1.php and scroll down to the 2nd KGL Brigade.

The finished brigade, en masse.
