KenR - 28mm Prussian Landwehr - 161 points

 

These just missed the finish line last week, a little break from the Italian Wars sees me add another unit to my long term Plancenoit Project.

This is the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Neumark Landwehr forming part of the 13th Brigade of the 4th Corps at Waterloo. This is the 8th unit so far for that group, Prussian Brigades are not for the faint hearted !

The figures are of course 28mm and are from the Perry Miniatures metal range, a lot more expensive than plastics but the available options are shockingly bad compared to these, so I'd rather spend the extra brass on quality (in figures not tabletop performance 😉)

So the vital statistics are 32 figure unit on 4 x 8 figure bases, each base is 60 x 60 mm. 32 figures at 5 pts each give me 160 more plus one for the flag.

This is likely the last Napoleonic unit of the Challenge, I really want to get the Swiss Pike done before we close and I still have 96 to do, so that's priority. Last of the Spanish Cavalry next.

Nice looking Landwehr unit Ken, they have a suitably shabby campaign appearance to them.  My understanding is that by 1815 some Landwehr units had ben in the field long enough to become decent quality infantry.  I also remember hearing that a Landwehr unit was the first Prussian unit on the field at Waterloo.
