My first completed army! 1813-15 Prussians
These are the grenadiers - Perry fusiliers but you cant tell the difference
I like these a lot
Skirmishers bases - 2 triangles so can join the line as well
Flag by GMB of course
Below my heavy cavalry brigade commanders
ON the left Perry, right Foundry
Perry foot and horse artillery limbers
Perry howitzer with Foundry crew
Foundry Landwehr cavalry
I personally think the Foundry Prussians are fantastic
Some lovely facial details
I hate doing lance penants
Foundry heavy brigade - dragoons and cuirassiers
horse artillery with captured French guns
Foundry hussars, Perry command and Silesian Uhlans
Foundry and Calpe reservists - one battalion painted as fusiliers
Mounted officers for the reservists
Foundry line infantry ( 2 musketeers and 1 fusiliers)
Calpe and Foundry landwehr - 2 battalions of each
Calpe volunteer Jaeger
Blucher and staff - foundry

Stunning work - well done.

Beautiful looking army love the movement in the figures!
ReplyDeletelovely work.
ReplyDeleteGreat collection Roger!
ReplyDeleteWHats next? Complete your Russians?
Brilliant choice of miniatures. Also reminds on how nice the old Foundry-stuff still is.
ReplyDeletean amazing collection! seeing your complete collection I now have enough courage to continue painting my own piles of Perry Prussians!
ReplyDeleteFantastic Roger - love the way you do your artillery basing too - beats trying to jam everything on a base that's too small (like most do) Love the old command figures and agree, the Foundry ones are superb. Terrific collection mate.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Doc
Looking lovel. I have to say that the Foundry Prussians donot do anything for me (except the Landwehr Cav.) but their paintjob is great! Which is no wonder since I feel your style is very similar to my own! ;-) which I always find comforting... in case I ever loose interest in Painting there will be a painting service that will be able to fit my collection! :-D
ReplyDeleteWow a beautiful force. It motivates me to buy more Prussians.
