French Horse Artillery Limbers and Crew

These are  probably 15mm Outpost limbers (which are an absolute bargain!) for the Franco -Prussian conflict, but which I think will also suit my Austro-Italian and Crimean forces. I probably have a  surfeit of artillery for my French, but I can always post them permanently to separate conflicts or field them as reserves. I've decided to (temporarily) use limbers to designate my horse artillery units ( as well as the 2 crew members to a base). I will eventually try to buy limbers for all my artillery units, if only to complicate the games and create logistical problems :)

I still have traces to do when I find some fine enough chain.

Austrian Jagers 1859 or earlier?

These are my Lancashire (I think) 15mm Austrian Jagers. I was hoping to use them for 1866 but I think i will need to find jagers in greatcoats for that and the hats will need to be different . In the Osprey books The 1859 jagers are shown in white Waffenfrock but I've seen them elsewhere in the traditional grey. My grey is a  bit too dark and the figures are a little muddy from the  GW Nuln oil wash, so I'll tone it down next time. The fahren are surplus as I don't think the jagers carried their colours into battle if they even had them at all.

Austrian Hussars 1859 -66

These are probably Lancashire figures 15mm that come in  a pack with Dragoons (posted some months back). Not sure whether they'll get much action on the table as  cavalry seem a little vulnerable in late C19th battles. I spent an inordinate amount of time painting the shabraque decoration, yellow line within white lines, within black lines within etc, etc

I picked regiments that kept  their old uniform colours after the 1850s reforms. I think these are the 10th and 12th regiments.

Cossacks are coming!

Here's my first unit for  my Crimean  and other Russo-turkish conflicts.

They'll be joined soon by Russian artillery and infantry.
