I have been thinking about the long-term uses of the current bunch of castings.
Since I plan to do much more Napoleonics with Austrians in the near future I thought it better that I paint the current crop as Austrian rather than the 'red' russians.
So here is the current state of these troops:
Here are the 'officers', my son asked "Why is there a blue horse?"
I answer, "Keep watching the blog and see it change color to the final one of ... white!"
The 'pink' ones here are even stranger!
They will have a hot re-brown color at the end.
The infantry!
Again my son asks, "White infantry?"
...
sigh, I guess I now need to re-teach him about another 'empire' (not the Lucas' one!) that had its soldiers in white!

Lucas? What army was he with?

Not one wearing any tricornes that I am aware of!
Austrians, Austrians, that's rather quickly said!
Tricorn minis in a Napoleonic campaign really do NOT need to wear strictly historical uniforms. So Boyardvinan troops intended to moonlight as napoleonic austrians can display some degree of originality on their uniforms?
Actually I have decided to NOT do this lot as Boyardvinan, but rather as Burtzenian (whom are associated with the Empire!).
These troops will moonlight as Napoleonic and also do much duty I am sure as any of the 'white' or 'gray' uniform wearing troops.
Moreover, these 'austrian' troops are wearing white colored 'prussian' style uniforms!
white-colored prussian styles uniforms? Well, that's that, at least... Add 1 or 2 unhistorical minor details and they'll fully deserve to enter the Funcken of the 'Fictional Lace Wars Armies'...
