Some refurbished Landwehr

I havent done much in the way of painting lately, mainly due to work and work travel. I did try my hand at some of the older Warlord Games Landwehr, as a friend had some of these lying around. Theres a variation of stuff in various states of disrepair, but much of it can beContinue reading “Some refurbished Landwehr”

Second bat., first regt.

Ive now finished a second unit of 1813 Prussians. As the first, these are Perry metal figures with an officer by Calpe miniatures. In about two months, I have painted 80 Prussians. In fact, I had hoped to have done even more. But with the practicalities of life taken into account, its a good number,Continue reading “Second bat., first regt.”

Another well-dressed man

Another Russian general has been sitting half-finished on my desk for a long time. There is no question, these guys dressed pretty smart. Its a good thing that the Russian army in the Napoleonic wars had rather a surplus of generals, because I have rather a good number of them at the moment. It didContinue reading “Another well-dressed man”

First battalions first

The first battalion is the first battalion, first East Prussian regt. Lets hope I dont lose interest and keep at it at least until I have enough to be worthwhile on the games table (that would be about a brigade, at minimum 4-5 infantry units).

More Prussians

Not a very good photo, and it was taken before the varnish was applied. But these are the command group for my first battalion of Prussian line infantry, 1st bat., 1st regt., 1st East Prussian. The figures are Perry metals, with an officer by Calpe miniatures. The Perry long coated infantry are very easy toContinue reading “More Prussians”

East Prussians

Some more Prussian infantry, this time its regular line infantry of the 1st regiment (1st East Prussians). The facings for this regiment is described as “Brick red”. Maybe that color ought to be more orange in tone, but i did them as orange-red. This give them a look which is close to some other regiments,Continue reading “East Prussians”

Napoleonic Prussian Landwehr

With the new year Im starting a new project. I chose to do Prussians for the Napoleonic period. To a large part I chose them because they seem to be easy to paint en masse and quickly because they have simple, unadorned uniforms. They should be a good choice for speed painting. Another reason forContinue reading “Napoleonic Prussian Landwehr”

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”
