It has been almost a month since I posted to the blog, time goes by! I have been quite busy with painting, but just have not had time to take a lot of photos.
I have been preparing for a trip to Montreal this coming weekend, and all though I am not the Prussian Commander, I had been tasked with bringing a Prussian brigade (division for the unaware). I had 48 infantry to paint and several command figures as well as some casualty markers to do, so I have been busy. Still have 12 infantry to go, but I suspect I will have them done in time.
You may remember that late last year I posted photos of 24 figures of a combined Prussian battalion, I had screwed up the figure order, so had only 1/2 the required figures for each battalion, and at the time did not have the fusilier figures. I said that I really wanted to paint the whole regiment, so here we have Reserve Infantry Regiment 9 in it's entirety. During the Waterloo campaign it entered into the Prussian Order of Battle as IR21, or the 4th Pomeranian Regiment.
What was particularly attractive about this regiment is that the men were still in their British uniforms originally supplied in 1813, during the Battle of Waterloo. They do break up the sea of blue.
I forgot to place the jagers in the photo, each Prussian regiment will have 4x2 figure bases of jagers attached to the 1st battalion.
Beautiful work John.

ReplyDeleteHi John,
ReplyDeleteNice work! always good to see more Prussians coming to life.
Did you use a different technique on these guys from your cavalry?
cheers

Great looking work - sometimes after seeing your stuff I just need to put my brushes down and bow to the master!
ReplyDeleteI suspect it will be a stunning game with those Prussians

Thanks, I enjoyed painting the figures, it is a nice little goup.
ReplyDeletePaul,
Always the same way, very simple technique, I am painting an unit of landwehr now about 20 min per figure.

Stunning work John, your painting method has really evolved since I started following this blog back in late 2008 I think it was. I really admire the way your enthusiasm for wargaming and painting has not waned one bit. Long may it continue :-)
ReplyDeleteAll the best,
Lee.
A great looking collection of figures and terrain.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking force John. Can't wait to see them 'in the flesh'!
ReplyDeleteAn impressive and beautiful batch of Prussians! You casualty figure turned out very nice as well. I look forward to hearing about your game with Iannick in Montreal. Have a nice trip!

Very nice painting on these.
ReplyDeleteI've painted that regiment myself not too long ago. Very interesting choice of uniforms they had too.
They look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLovely work John, have you played many battles with these units to date?
