Venexia figures from
www.vexilia.ltd.uk That should do the trick. You might need some Dixon 15mm for the horse.

I have just painted an Austrian Army by Venexia Army from their Wars of Louis X1V range, lovely figures alll the troop types. I have gone to Donnington for Gunners to man my Regt Guns.
Tally Ho!

That was quick. What kind of variety will be available? Apostles? Infantry positions? Elite troops?

How big are your regimental guns? Which did you use?

I have some Peter Pig small guns, fit nicely on a 40 x 20 base with a couple of gunners. Hopefully I will have some photos of my Venexia Austrians later this week, lovely figures and I have enjoyed painting them. My only concern with the Infantry Regiment packs is the size of the flags, I photocopied and enlarged them but it would be nice if they came a good size.
