Cossacks

Another addition to the Russian army of 1808. Figures from Eureka miniatures.

Officers, 23rd jäger regt.

Here is a small addition to my 1808 Russians.

Swedish army in Finland of 1808 (so far…)

OK, some of you may have seen these pictures elsewhere before, but for those of you who havent, well, here is my progress on the Swedish army in Finland of the 1808 war against Russia. I currently have seven 16-man infantry units, one cavalry unit, and a few artillery and officer figures all based andContinue reading “Swedish army in Finland of 1808 (so far…)”

Petrovsk regiment – converting Warlord plastics for the 1808 campaign

These are some figures from Warlord Games’ plastic Russian Napoleonic Line Infantry 1809–1814 set. As Warlord advertise, they are sculpted with the 1809 style uniform. I am painting my Russians to fit the 1808 campaign in Russia. So can the Warlord plastics be used for this campaign? Yes and no. At the time of theContinue reading “Petrovsk regiment – converting Warlord plastics for the 1808 campaign”

Some more Germans

These are a few more additions to my slowly growing Kursk project. The figures are slightly modified Warlord and Perry miniatures. The Perry figures are from the Afrika Korps range, but I replaced the heads and boots with Warlord pieces. One nice detail on the Afrika Korps minis is that the MGs have the roundContinue reading “Some more Germans”

Västmanland and Västerbotten regimental colors

I recently painted up the flags for these two regiments, but I have’nt yet painted the actual foot soldiers. The Västerbotten flag is of the 1686 model, the Västmanland flag is model 1766. The Västerbotten regiment (1st btn) was the only Swedish infantry regiment present in Finland at the outbreak of the war (not countingContinue reading “Västmanland and Västerbotten regimental colors”

Sevsk regiment 1808

Just a few musketeers of the Sevsk regiment. I am working on some more of these, including grenadiers (with their huge busch-plumes!), but havent been able to paint very much lately due to work. I really need to paint 4-5 units worth of Russian infantry as soon as possible, so am slightly depressed that thingsContinue reading “Sevsk regiment 1808”

Napoleon and friends

Napoleon, Ney and a French colonel of infantry. Boney and Ney are Foundry figures, the colonel is by Warlord Games. Fun figures to paint.

Russian dragoons

These are some Russian dragoons for 1812 and post-1812 campaigns which I painted a few years back. I think they are painted as the Kargopol dragoons.

Georg Carl von Döbeln

This is my interpretation of the most famous Swedish personality of the Finnish war of 1808, colonel Georg Carl von Döbeln. He was a brigade commander and won important victories at Lappo and Jutas among other battles. Famously, Döbeln had an old injury to his forehead which never healed. For that reason he always woreContinue reading “Georg Carl von Döbeln”
