From IanW: From Russia With Love (94 Points)

Six battalions each on 60x60mm bases

Back to 6mm again and more Prussian Napoleonic's. Well not 100% Prussian as the regiments that make up this weeks submission were formed in 1813 as the Germano-Russian Legion.

Front, back and side views of the 30th Regiment

The 30th Regiments battalions were the 1st, 2nd and 6th battalions of the 1st Brigade and then in 1814 renamed the 1st regiment of the German Legion.

Every other figure has a tiny bread bag, great detail on tiny figures

The 31st Regiment was made up of the 3rd, 4th and 7th battalions and was in the second brigade. As such their uniform is a mix of Russian and Prussian and will stand out against all that Prussian Blue.

The main body of all six battalions are Adler Prussian Landwehr as these seemed to be the best match overall. The mounted figures are Adler command figures and as Adler do not do a skirmish pose I have added Baccus Landwehr figures out front.

Close up 2nd Battalion 30th Regiment

Both regiments were part of the III Corp but in different brigades, 30th in the 9th brigade and the 31st in the 12th. Followers of past challenges and my blog will know I painted up all the Prussians that took part in the Waterloo battle (as well as half the French) and I am now filling in the gaps of all the other units that was part of the campaign allowing us to use all the correct units for each of the battles. Given the scale this really is overkill as we could just sub in what we need but were is the fun in that?

Flags bought a few years ago on ebay unfortunately can't remember the supplier

So I still have over 50 battalions of infantry alone to paint up before I can tick that box. So plenty more Prussians to come over the next few years. IV Corp is almost finished with just three Landwehr cavalry to paint up with II Corp somewhat behind. III Corp is hardly touched but these boys will at least help them out a bit.

31st Regiment 2nd Battalion officers conflab

As usual I have left flags off the Fusiliers and were not in column have placed them in three deep lines partly to save me having to cut each figure off it's base but also as they did tend to fight in deeper lines that the Brits.

Incredible detail of the sculps

So six battalions with 28 infantry and one commander makes them a convenient 15 points a unit for 90 points to help pad out my 6mm side dual whilst I wait on Lee and Clint to charge up in the next few weeks.

Ah these are great Ian, I do admire your massed 6mm Naponleonics. These have an unusual look with Prussian Landwehr uniforms in Russian green, I can see why you wanted to do them. The flag in orange with the rearing horse is unusual too. Did they see much action during the campaign? 

A neat 90 points to you, good sir, plus 4 for the flags of unknown provenance.
