Holger's Hero's

 I've been spending my time lately on some old Holger Erickson miniatures I had from the enigmatic John P when he fled the darkest West for the Home Counties.

These are almost all in the marching pose. I went a little large on this unit, 30 Musketeers, 6 Grenadiers and a sketchy third rank of a few Pike, a couple of Drummers and NCOs.
Ga Pa!
Those not in the Marching pose were a bit of a grab bag of advancing and firing, so I started work on a small unit of light infantry, the Hinterland Jaeger. I snipped off their bayonests to make them look a little more "jaegery".
I an thinking a dozen to 18 figures.
Finally, I spent the weekend filing down these lads. I'm open to uniform suggestions. 
Just enough of everything to make up a neat, two-gun battery.

I am looking at this army as being my 1700-1720 Alzheim force, so get out those books on the Bavarian Army...
