As I have already mentioned in previous posts, I have been working on re-basing my Russians for the 1808 setting. This has included expanding some of the units, so that all line infantry is in 24 man units, and the jäger units of 16. I have now come as far as rebasing all of theContinue reading “Russian division 1808”

Russian progress
I have been working on rebasing my 1808 Russians for way too long. But now everything is at least mounted on the new type of bases and I have applied the Vallejo texture goo, which is the more time consuming part of the process. After that I will drybrush the bases and paint the edges.Continue reading “Russian progress”
Some Russian additions
With little painting time, I have at least finished some additional figures and guns for the Russian army of 1808. I have prepared many more. The primary goal is to be able to field a battery of two guns for each of the three brigades. Two of these will be 6-pounders, the third a 3-pounderContinue reading “Some Russian additions”
Gyllenbögel’s free corps
These are my first attempts at making some members of the Gyllenbögel free corps, a volunteer unit composed of various ex-soldiers and civilians. It was created in the summer of 1808 and saw action at a number of battles. The figures are simple conversions from Perry AWI figures and a Brigade Games Canadian 1812 militiamanContinue reading “Gyllenbögel’s free corps”
Swedish HQ
As most of you who are reading this will know, the Perry miniatures range of (very excellent) Swedish figures does not (yet :-)) include generals or colonels. I have converted various figures for this purpose previously, as can be seen in older posts. However, those have been single mounted figures, meant as brigade commanders. InContinue reading “Swedish HQ”
Russian progress
After having painted quite a few Swedes/Finns for a while, I switched over to give the Russian army some TLC. I painted the very few figures that were still missing to complete the 3rd battalion, 3rd jäger regiment and the 1st battalion of the Petrovsk regt. These have been standing almost finished for much tooContinue reading “Russian progress”
24th jägers
I am doing my best to get back into painting my 1808 figures again. This time I am doing some Russian jägers, the 24th regiment to be precise. I will need to paint quite a few more Russian figures, around 150 or so, before I have everything I need for the 1808 summer campaign. ThatContinue reading “24th jägers”
Finnish terrain
As I am painting a lot of figures for the Finnish war, with the aim of recreating some of the battles of the summer of 1808, there are a few specific terrain items that I need. Recently, I did some typically Scandinavian fences (gärdesgårdar). I will need even more, as such fences were built aroundContinue reading “Finnish terrain”
Russian jäger colonel
Heres another Russian commander figure, this time a jäger colonel, if I remember correctly he wears the colors of the 26th jäger regiment. The figure himself has a very simple color scheme as you can see; the horse took quite a while to do, and even now Im not entirely pleased with it. It looksContinue reading “Russian jäger colonel”
Petrovsk regt WIP
Trying to keep the momentum going with my napoleonic stuff. The first battalion of the Petrovsk regiment is soon to be finished at 20 figures. This regiment served in many of the battles in Finland, and would really have been a good place to start the whole project. They wear a uniform which is similarContinue reading “Petrovsk regt WIP”
