Fitting out the 1st Hoegaarden Grenadier Rgt

 This is the first grenadier regiment. It is formed from the grenadier companies of rgts Blau and Gelb. Although grenadier regiments do not have banners, this unit has fashioned one from the streamers of one of its parent regiments.



The second grenadier regiment will not take part in the campaign. It is formed from the Rot and Roos regiments grenadiers, however rather than take the field it will form part of the garrison and as a depot unit. The 5th foot regiment of the army, regiment Grün, is newly formed and does not have a grenadier company.

I'm still struggling a bit with lots and lots of white. This time I think I am close to getting it spot on. The figs are now undercoated white, given a black ink wash and then almost dry brushed white with the cross belts picked out in ivory.
