Prussian Fusiliers


Sneaking one last update in for the month of August I have two regiments of 10mm Prussian Fusiliers.   I ordered these figures from Pendraken back when I did the first units for this collection, thus back to the old two-rank basing system.  I at least have enough Pendraken units painted to form their own separate detachment.  With four regiments of Musketeers, two of Fusiliers and two stands of combined Grenadiers.  I am going to rebase my attempts at three rank Pendraken figures for now, and just settle for one brigade of 'odd men out'

As to the Fusiliers I opted to paint Fusilier Regiment Nr 35 "Prince of Prussia"  and Nr 36 "von Munchow"  One thing I have really become fond of in the Pendraken castings are the cast flags for the standard bearers.  I have an issue with the paper standards breaking off from my 6mm Napoleonics, and these are much more robust.  The scale lends itself to a 'impressionist' interpretation of the flags anyway, since you rarely see them at less than 50cm.

Also crossing the finish line are a pair of Pendraken artillery limbers.  These came with the Howitzer models, and I opted to cut the taper off a pair of artillerists to make it look like they are grabbing the limbers.  I really like the quality on these castings, I just wish that Pendraken would bundle them separately. 

Everyone have a great weekend (three day for us Americans), and stay safe.

  1. Excellent work but I prefer your three ranked troops to two.

    1. As do I, but the Pendraken minis are from the 'seed' gift I got from a kind soul on TMP, so I will have one division of two rankers in the army.

    2. As you should as a fitting tribute to your benefactor.

  2. Before I zoomed in I thought they were paper flags! They look great

    1. Thanks. I was a little hesitant when I tried this type out with my ACW collection, but now I am finding them much more preferable.
