From PaulSS: Another draft of Prussians (98 points)

I woke up with the lurgy this weekend so the drive to paint with a cough and runny nose was somewhat curtailed, but the Prussian Production Line rolled on to the end*

The last two battalions of infantry, the first one representing a unit of Grenadiers.




All the figures in the post are from Baccus6mm while the bases are all a custom order from Warbases. I had magnet holes in the bases so that the small figures get no additional lift.

The second unit a battalion of reservists.
 



There were enough Landwehr skirmishers for another four bases, I did a couple of bases in blue coats with light blue facings and a couple in grey coats with red facing.




There were enough six pounders and an howitzer to complete a fifth battery of artillery.





The last few troops are another four artillery limbers.




*This represents the last few Prussians in the backlog, there are a few Landwehr infantry that could be used to add to Brigade command stands but I don't have any commanders to mount with them.

I hope to treat Teemu to a "not a 6mm Napoleonic post" this week, I have made a start but I'll have to see how I feel in the morning.

132 foot, 12 mounted, 12 horses, 4 guns and 4 vehicles will add another 96 points to my running total.

TeemuL: They look great as usual, Paul! I wonder what you have next, now that this project "finished." I hope you can handle the lergy as effortlessly as you have managed to paint this Prussian army. They are small, but they popup nicely and still don't look unreal. Well done! Two points for the flags, whether they are hand painted or not.

    1. Cheers Ray, it's now 24 battalions of foot, 8 regiments of horse plus 5 batteries of artillery plus all the other guff. I already placed an order to pick up at Partizan in May. Hope to see you there.

  5. Thank you @Teemu, for the "next" I'm getting over the lurgy and I've already made a start on the French to oppose these chaps.
