As the finish line approaches, I managed to get some Napoleonic Prussians finished this week. This is basically a box of Perry Prussian line infantry, minus the Jaegers. I've painted them as the Second Battalion of the 1st Silesian Regiment for 1813-15, as well as a separate base of Grenadiers drawn from the same regiment.
This is only the second unit I've painted for my 'slow grow' Napoleonic project. The first was the 1st Battalian of the 1st Silesian Regiment, made from a box of figures I bought on a lovely afternoon in Madrid almost exactly 2 years ago, in the company of the most excellent Benito. Hopefully this year will see the army continue to grow.
There are 42 figures here in total, but I had already started two of the grenadiers before the challenge, so I'm not counting those. 40 figures will give me a satisfying 200 points, and if I don't manage to get in another entry this week, I am content.
From Millsy:
Now this was unexpected Alan! Here I was thinking I'd see some more Border Reivers to close out your Challenge and you have pivoted to something entirely different.
Lovely brushwork mate, especially all the straps and equipment which always takes so much effort to get right over and over. These stout lads will do great service I am sure. Vorwarts marsch!
Thanks for sharing your work with us again. I've enjoyed your stuff immensely and have a Scottish itch I will likely end up scratching thanks to you. 200 points to close out your Challenge.
Cheers,
Millsy
Wonderful work on this regiment. I love the way Napoleonic troops look when others paint them.
