First, the drummer does not have reversed coat colours.
Second, the regiment has both its white flag and its blue flag featuring the Vaubarian coat of arms in the centre of the wreath.
Other regiments have a white flag with the Vaubarian coat of arms in the centre of the wreath (with regimental device in top corner near flagstaff), and a blue flag with regimental device in the centre of the wreath, and no coat of arms.
Other than that, the Leibgarde is a standard line battalion. They will not gain any elite classification on the tabletop.
Here is the whole Brigade on the march.
IR 1 = The Leibgarde (white cuffs)
IR2 = Regt Dremel (yellow facings)
IR 3 = Regt Breitner (red facings)
… commanded by Brigadier von Schweinsteiger.
Figures are Front Rank. Painted by yours truly, as were the flags.
Given that it's a fictional country, I wish I had chosen a simpler coat of arms/ flag design!
Still, it passes the time whilst watching the cricket world cup... or Aston Villa's glorious exploits at Wembley last Monday. Some people thought I wouldn't get through a blog post without mentioning that fact. They were right!
That's all for now...
Excellent display of fine wargame figures, Love the colours Phil.
ReplyDeleteI think I will be copying these regiments, thanks for the inspiration.
Happy gaming,
Willz Harley.

Thx Christopher. Much appreciated. Phil
DeleteA splendid brigade Phil...
ReplyDeleteYou really can’t go wrong with sky blue...;-)
All the best. Aly
Thx Aly... The blue is certainly very pleasing on the eye. Cheers! Phil
DeleteVery nice indeed.
ReplyDeleteThx Paul. Not as many as the number of Marlburians in your collection, but making some progress. Phil
DeleteMarvellous Units, Phil! I look forward to seeing them in action...after all, looking this good, they must perform like elite grenadiers!! ;-) :-D Cheers, Rohan.
ReplyDeleteThx Rohan. You and I both know that the nicer troops look, the less likely they are to perform well on the tabletop! We will see! Cheers. Phil
DeleteThose are very nice! I like the blue!
ReplyDeleteCheers Andy. Somehow thought you'd like the blue! Phil
DeleteAbsolutely wonderful Phil, the flags are really something to behold. As for Aston Villa I think you are forgiven for mentioning rare events, so make the most of it while it lasts :-)
ReplyDeleteThx Chris. Enjoyed painting the flags really. In fact, enjoyed painting the whole of this force. Cheers. Phil
