Shiny Napoleonics… Prussian Landwehr

Greetings …

Another slow time with the paint brushes…I’m still putting books back on shelves and I have the disruption of builders returning in the next week or so…

So here are a unit of Hinchliffe 5th Westphalian Landwehr…

In reality they were an under strength unit so only having three stands is fairly accurate… But I will probably get another six figures and bring it up to a four stand unit… They never carried a Standard but I may add one to the extra stand anyway.

For a change I have painted these in a “Wellington Man” style…

This is not the first time I have done this…

Although unlike Matthew I will be using acrylic paints rather than enamels…

As I have said these were painted in the “Wellington Man” style… So Base Coat, Wash, Dry Brush and Black lining out…

Here are the basic colours that I used…

Coat and Hat… Citadel… Kantor Blue with a Citadel Drakenhof Blue wash then given a Kantor Blue Dry Brush.

Trousers… Citadel… Pallid Wych Flesh with a Brown Liquid Wash then a Pallid Wych Flesh Dry Brush.

Facings… Citadel… Warboss Green.

Belts… Citadel… Corax White then pure White Highlights.

Napsack and Backpack… Foundry… Moss Light 29c with a Brown Liquid Wash and then Moss Light Highlights.

Black lining was added between the colours and some additional lighter Edge Highlights were added.

The different style made for a refreshing change to my normal process and was a lot of fun.

Although I don’t know how Matthew manages to paint whole armies… I definitely don’t have the patience 😁

All the best   Aly
