Napoleonic Prussian Army

Another ‘Blast From The Past’ post. The photos were taken in 2004, so apologies that some of them are a bit dodgy. These figures are from a long sold off Napoleonic Prussian army of the 1815 period and have bit of a toy soldier vibe.  The figures are plastic, mainly (I think) Esci, except for the General which is a Hinchcliffe metal figure. The hussars are hard plastic figures but I can’t remember the manufacturer.

I recall having a lot of fun converting the landwehr figures to enhance their rag-tag nature.


The Army had a total of 44 mounted figures, 144 foot figures, 8 cannon with 8 crew figures and represented the 6th Brigade Von Kraft of Von Pirch’s II Corp:
