"A study of two Schwartzlander infantrymen, an Offizierstellvertreter and below him a Musketier, both from from Infanterie-Regiment 23. "Von Zachen" during the Battle of Kessedt Pass against the Arcadian Republic. Fighting as auxiliaries for hire in the army of the State of Tailfa, under General Benyamin Ben-Yossef, these crack troops played a key role in holding Hill 241 and stopping the relentless advance of the
dreaded Arcadian Grenadiers. Of the three Schwartzlander regiments presence, each suffered 50% casualties. The battle would be immortalised in the famous song, "Kessedtwald", a reference to the cedar forest which covered much of the pass."

Decided I'd do something in the Osprey books style. I specifically went for a Germanic feel for their uniform and appearance, but I also wanted to put my own twist on it, especially the helmets. This is the result.
