After a game of Soldiers of Napoleon using my Austrians, I decided that I
do really need to put them on the same sized bases as my French and
Prussians, as well as my clubmates bases.
Eight artillery batteries rebased, another four to go.
Boom!
Boom!
Hungarian infantry units, another unit of Austrian line, and the short unit at the rear is the Grenz, rebased.
Single bases are the 'spares'
Just waiting for more flock before I post pictures of the rebased artillery, of which 8/12 are completed.

First six units
My usual view
This many spare bases, I might need some command figures to make these into extra units.
That's at least two extra units there
Two more infantry unkits and the artillery next, eventually...

Lockdown conversation with Matt - are we going to playtest the new MeG inspired Napoleonics? Yeah, why not!
I thought on this, Matt is doing the Confederation of The Rhine in 10mm, what did I fancy? I already have a MASSIVE 1815 Anglo-Dutch, and an all conquering 1806 Prussians (seriously, one of the worst armies ever), so what to choose? French and Prussian means more Dark Blue, and I need a break from Dark Blue, so I had a look at the Pendraken catalogue, and well...
Fresh Austrian units, 6th Blankenstein Hussars.
CHARGE!
WIth the other Hussars and Chevauxlegers, it takes my light cavalry division up to three units.
Soon to be in action (I hope).
To be split up into detachments, Grenz
These might grow into a full unit too.
Skirmish line
Austrian skirmishers to be attached to line units, hence the different cuffs.
Hopefully hold back the French for a while?
Austrian line fillers, to bulk my units up to the equivalent of five base widths for Soldiers of Napoleon, which appears to be my club standard width.
Just to show how much one mounted officer can bulk the unit out.
Almost three ranks
Back view, now I just need to do three more Austrian units and three Hungarian units, need to order two more packs... LEEEEOOON!
Here they are en situ so you can see how they work.

Missed an Austrian officer, so he's been brevit promoted to Brigade command!
And here he is running away!

Austrian Cuirassiers by the brigade.
Not Pendraken, suspect 10mm Old Glory by the horse/saddle combination. Still, you
can't look a gift Cuirassier in the mouth. Thank you Neil.

Waiting round to do something
Off we go
Nope, false alarm, everyone back!
Couple of commanders, one for everyday, one for my light cavalry brigade
Oi, you

Division of FML Waber, 1809
18th, 21st and 28th Foot, ready to get beaten by Neil tonight as I trail 'Soldiers of Napoleon' that LB have been playing for a while.
Yes, I know Weber appears to be wearing a Hungarian Shako, but Bicorns never suited him!
~I also know the 28th are missing a colour, the figure will be in my next order!
Column of march, or march attack?
From the rear (if you look really carefully, can you spot the deserter?)
A second Chevelegeurex unit
I did edge all the flags, honest!
More artillery because...
BOOM!
Four hungarian skirmishers which have been sitting round annoying me for yonks!
I know its an Austrian drummer...

Not Austrians, not Pendraken, but 10mm Chasseurs a Chevel gifted to me by a friend and rebased.

This FINALLY finishes (apart from the limbers) Hohenlohe Division for 1809, best start on the other one in the corps soon!
One of the smallest unit in the Corps, Carneville Freikorps Cavalry
FML Hohenlohe (I can NEVER get good photos of Austrian generals).
Artillery batteries, one 4lber, one 12lber

Massively inspired by Michael and his amazing 1809 blog, here are my Hungarian contingent of my Austrians.
Starting with elements (mostly) from VI Corps
2nd
33rd
39th
Skirmishers are a marker really.
Consolidated Grenadiers
Rear view
6th Chevauleger
Charge
The most evocative artillery of the Napoleonic wars, the yellow gun carriage of the Austrians
Boom!
The batch, minus the general, think he is camera shy!
