ALY MORRISON'S "BUTTERFLY" ADVENTURES IN THE WORLD OF WARGAMES AND TOY SOLDIERS

Shiny Napoleonics... Prussian Fusiliers.

 Greetings...

So... The first post of the year.

Here we have the Fusilier Battalion of The 1st West Prussian Regiment No.6




I am really pleased with the way they have turned out, I have based them, so that depending on what rules I use, they can be deployed in open order.
The command base has been left the same as my normal line infantry as I wanted it to look more like a rallying/support point.

They have been painted in the same way as the other two battalions, with the exception that I have made the trousers and greatcoat a bit lighter to counteract the additional darkness of black leather belts

I suppose I should really do a couple of stands of  Freiwilliger Jäger to round the whole regiment off.

Here is a shot of all the Prussian Infantry I have painted so far...


I would like to add another couple of infantry battalions and of course some cavalry and artillery...

The next unit I am working on for this project is also German... but this time they are in French pay.

The paints are Citadel and Vallejo...

The bases are as always...

All the best.   Aly

      Thank you Matt...

      I need a few more Prussians but I really need to get on with more French... there will probably be a lot more Shiny Napoleonics on the painting desk this year.

      All the best. Aly

    They look ruddy purposeful with those bayonets to the fore. Brought to mind Dads Army and the phrase “they don’t like it up em, Mr Mainwaring!”

      I particularly like the advancing pose, I am trying to stick to it throughout the collection...
      Indeed “ sie mögen es nicht”

      All the best. Aly

    Don't know if you can call Prussian uniforms pretty but they are pretty spiffing shiny fellows nonetheless.

      Thank you Phil...
      As a rule I would describe the Prussians as looking workmanlike... but there are also some pretty uniforms to be had.

      All the best. Aly

      It’s no grand army at the moment but it’s starting to build at a steady rate.

      If I only focused on one thing at a time these guys would be old campaigners 😁

    These are delightful!

    A friend gifted me with a box of 25mm Prince August Waterloo moulds but I've sworn that I am not doing Napoleonics again! Nope! Certainly not today anyway.....

      No Napoleonics for you... of course not... if it’s not for you... best steer clear...

      I look forward to seeing what you do 😁
