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”
Buildings
Some recent paint work, a few Belgian farm houses by Hovels model buildings. Excellent detail on these resin models, and a somewhat underappreciated maker. Prices are as low as mdf, which in itself is remarkable.
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”
Russian general
I have started painting a few generals and officer figures, as I only had the bare minimum of what was needed to play. This one is a relatively recent release from Perry. Not entirely happy with my painting of the horse, but it will do.
Valour & Fortitude rules
I dont often write about rules, because I am not really that kind of gamer. I paint the figures and will be happy whenever there is an opportunity to put them on the table – and I will try any rules set at least once! But precisely for that reason, I tend to like simpleContinue reading “Valour & Fortitude rules”
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”
Colonel, Tavastehus regiment, 1808
A further addition to my Swedish collection is this colonel of the Tavastehus (Häme) regiment, based in central Finland. The figure is a slightly altered Bavarian colonel with a Swedish head. The Tavastehus regiment itself is also in the works…
