Showcase: 15th Light Dragoons

 

Heyhey, I got to paint a bunch of Napoleonics again! For Spain! These here are the 15th (The King's) Regiment of (Light) Dragoons (Hussars).

Showcase: Württemberg Guard Horse Jägers

 

Heyhey, here's some lovely Württemberg Guard Jägers on Horse. Also by Piano Miniatures. Lovely figures.

Pretty much straightforward, along the uniform plates and contemporary illustrations I could find. By the way, Piano Miniatures got free uniform plates on figures they sell online. Most of them are very useful.

Hope you like them!

Showcase: Württemberg Jägers and Horse Artillery

 

Heyhey, here's some horse artillery and light infantry Jägers from the lovely kingdom of Württemberg, from around 1809.

My Kind of Town II - Going Eastern European

 

In this article I would like to share with you some pictures of my Dark Ages/Medieval village, how I built it and so on. Hit the jump for lotsa pictures and enlightenment through PVA and super glue.

Showcase: Spanish Grenadiers 1808

 

Heyhey, here's some Spanish grenadiers for 1808!

Showcase: French Warband for Silver Bayonet

 

Silver Bayonet is a rather interesting thing, isn't it? It's basically a honeypot to lure unsuspecting Fantasy gamers into the Napoelonic period.

Showcase: 25mm Minifigs Polish Lancers

 

Heyhey. It's summer, and we're going a bit old-school again. Not that these two facts have anything to do with each other, but you gotta have some sort of introduction, right?

Showcase: Napoleonic Austrians!

 

Particularly animated ones at that as well! These are Austrian line infantry including command and a sapper, based for skirmish games such as Chosen Men.

If these here look familiar to you - you may have seen them in the Napoloenic supplement for the excellent Muskets&Tomahawks (2nd edition) rules.

I greatly enjoy painting Napoleonic Austrian infantry. In a few weeks time I'll show you my own (also for skirmish gaming, incidently).

Hope you like them!

Showcase: British 15th Hussars

 

Heyhey, here's some more 18mm AB Miniatures Napoleonics. It's the British 15th Hussars!

Showcase: Austrian Grenzers

 

Heyhey, here's some men of Militärgrenzregiment Nr.14, Szekler Nr.1. It's Grenzers! Other than most other Grenzer regiments, who wore tobacco brown coats by 1809, the guys of Szekler Nr.1 kept their white coats up until 1815. So that's how I painted them. Now everybody's confused when they see them, asks why those Hungarians (because that's what they look like in their white coats) wear these Grenzer shakos, etc. 

Big confusion! And that's how we like it. Hope you like confusion too! I mean, I hope that you like those figures too!

Showcase: Austrian Artillery

 

Heyhey, just a quick one today. It's an Austrian 3-pdr gun with some very neat looking artillerymen to work this magnificent piece of equipment. All Front Rank figures, so painting them neatly makes it worth the effort. Hope you like them!

Showcase: Napoleonic Russians Group Shots

 

Heyhey, that's the inevitable group shots!

Showcase: Tsar Alexander I.

 

Heyhey, hre's the man himself - Alexander I. Pawlowitsch Romanow, Tsar of Russia, king of Poland (for a while), grad duke of Finland, Lord of Jever (twice!).

Showcase: Siberia Grenadier Regiment

 

Heyhey, last week I showed you the very dapper and orderly-advancing Pavlov Grenadiers, this week we got the Siberia Grenadiers, who I painted as a sister regiment.

As you can see, the presentation is quite different. They're all in 'action poses', and got an officer on horseback amidst the line. Much less 'parade ground', much more dynamism there, including dirt and a casualty, calling out to his comrades.

The figures are by the Perrys this time. Hope you like them!

Showcase: Pavlov Grenadiers

 

Heyhey, today I'd like to show you some Napoleonic Russians. Surely one of the most popular Russian formations with wargamers are the Pavlov Grenadiers.

Showcase: Napoleonic Austrians

 

Heyhey, here's a few scenic shots of the Napoleonic Austrians I showed you recently. They got reinforced by two officers (I'm sure the guys are thrilled about that) and a light gun.

Showcase: Napoleonic Austrian Grenzers

 

Heyhey, today I'll show you a few Grenzers!

Showcase: Napoleonic Austrian Cuirassiers

Heyhey, here we got a small unit of Austrian Cuirassiers.  First time I painted those, and I was surprised about how elegant these chaps are.

Showcase: Transport for the Wounded

 

Heyhey, today we got another little Napoleonic special. Not even a combat unit this time, but a hay wagon, repurposed as a transport for the sick and wounded.

Showcase: De Watteville Infantry Regiment

 

Heyhey! Today I got something special for you - it's De Watteville's infantry regiment!
