More Napoleonic Prussians

Here are some more images of my Napoleonic Prussians. Hope you enjoy! As always, click on the image for a larger version.


Silesian Landwehr cavalry from Art Miniaturen. Brilliant figures with loads of character.


Art Miniaturen Silesian Landwehr


'Don't mind if I do.'


Brandenburg Cuirassiers. Head swap of HaT Russian cuirassiers with dragoons.


6th Reserve Infantry Regiment



Volunteer Jaegers, converted from various HaT figures.



6th Uhlans (Luetzow Freikorps)


General Yorck with his staff

Brandenburg Uhlans from Art Miniaturen. Again, great figures which I stuffed up by painting them the wrong shade of blue. Line Uhlans should have very dark blue/black uniforms.

Thanks for looking!

Napoleonic Prussians

I haven't painted any Napoleonics for a couple of years, so have never got around to putting any photos up on the blog. However, looking at Monsieur le Rosbif's blog inspired me to get some figures out and photograph them. So, over the next few days, I present the Napoleonic Prussians from 1813-15. Figures are from Revell, HaT, Waterloo 1815 and Art Miniaturen.



The army represents about three brigades, with some reserve cavalry. Each base of infantry is a company, four bases to a battalion, and usually three battalions to a regiment. Up the back you can see some dragoons that I painted in a vile bright blue so they look like Smurfs. We shall not speak of them again.

Some line infantry to start off with. This is the Frogs' eye view of the the 2nd and 6th Regiments, with their Light (Fusilier) battalions skirmishing out front.


And this these are the 9th (Colberg) Regiment and Luetzow Freikorps, with the Guard Jaeger battalion in the lead.




Thanks for looking!
