6mm Napoleonics - Prussians

I love Adler's Napoleonics range. Despite having to paint 800 Saxon infantry, 200 Cavalry, and 21 guns to complete the two infantry divisions and two cavalry brigades, when miniatures are sculpted so well, they are that much more pleasing to paint. ANYWAY.

Today's offering, a few shots of Von Klux's 9th Brigade from the Prussian II Corps (Kleist).


1. Neumark Dragoons in the foreground, keeping an eye on the Brigade's 6pdr Battery. 7th Silesian Landwehr at the rear, with the 6th Reserve Regiment at the back of the photo in the second line, 1st West Prussian Regiment in the foreground. Both have their Fusilier Battalions in line, and ahead of the Brigade but out of shot is half of the Silesian Schutzen Battalion in open order.


 2. Some of the Landwehr bringing up the rear of the Brigade.


3. The left flank of the second line, the two Musketeer Battalions of the 6th Reserve Regiment, Landwehr following.


4. Probably the best shot from these four, a close-up of the massed columns, with the Fus./1st West Prussian in the extreme foreground. There was something very aesthetically pleasing about painting these figures, particularly the simply attired men of the 7th Silesian Landwehr Infantry Regiment.


Finally, I couldn't resist posting my Napoleon Vignette again. Sometime in the not so distant future it will hopefully be presiding over a Corps plus size engagement!
