My 1806 Prussian army - almost complete


There were no pictures submitted yet about one of my larger undertakings, namely creating a Prussian army for the 1806-1807 period. Now here's the bulk of that army, minus elites and specialists.




The grand total at this point is six line infantry units, two fusilier units, four guns, two hussar units, three dragoons and the inevitable two cuirassier regiments. The infantry and artillery is made by HäT, the line cavalry Italeri, the Hussars Revell SYW figures. The generals are Italeri Austrian figures (which means I'll have to use the Russian generals as Austrians again).


The line cavalry in all its glory, which it will retain until meeting the French.



Some of the photos are overexposed due to bad weather and therefore bad lighting conditions, but still you can see that my basing has improved a lot (even if these flowery tufts are perhaps not the best for a war waged mostly in winter).


I used the HäT fusiliers previously as Austrian Grenzer (as the Austrian Grenzer box is impossible to find), they are quite unimpressive but easy enough to paing, and I really like the deep green / bright blue color combination on the first unit.
