These are supposed to be with the 4th Silesian Landwehr Regiment. Not sure if they wore the stovepipe shakos, but added a few for variety.
Picked this box up mainly for the flags to use with a box of Wargames Atlantic Prussian Reservists, but these figures are pretty nice. They're a bit different from the Warlord set I painted up back in 2013. These have separate heads and come with just two metal command figures - a drummer and officer. The older set came with a flag bearer; I went ahead and clipped off the musket from one of the figures and added a flag pole (plastic broom bristle).
The Wargames Atlantic Prussian Reservists shouuld be arriving in the mail today. They should be a quick job as I plan to spray them gray for the basic uniform - and then a Minwax stain after the other stuff is block painted.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas!
Wow, these really are very nice looking figures Dean, and that Miniwax is a great product....the way the faces in particular come out is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a very happy Christmas too, followed by a great New Year.

Thanks for the kind words, Kevin. Will likely pick up a Blucher figure too. Merry Christmas!
DeleteExcellent brushwork Dean. I do like the Napoleonic Prussians. There uniform is so different to other armies uniforms.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Ray. Yes, their uniforms have a purposeful, yet elegant look about them. Merry Christmas!
DeleteFantastic unit Dean.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Richard! Merry Christmas!
DeleteDean, another great brush and build, nice way to use the mix of headgear. Certainly a hat is better than no hat, especially if 1813 is the campaign setting. Your plans for the upcoming reserve unit is solid. Looking forward to seeing these on the table top.,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words again, Joe. Merry Christmas!
DeleteFantastic brush work on these Dean!
