Hi All, Building an 1805 army and was wondering who makes the Russian Generals for this period? I have only really seen the 1812 versions. Cheers |

AB Figures are the best for this period. |

A second vote for AB Russian Generals for 1805, superb figures. |

Where we may see AB Russian Generals for 1805? Never hear of them.. No Fighting15s, no Eureka show them or tell about them. |

If they are wearing cocked hats they will do for both periods. As long as they don't wear kivers. |

1812 Russian Generals won't work for 1805-7 without modification. In the earlier period they did not wear the heavy fringed epaulettes or the panache of ostrich feathers in the hat. 1806 Prussian senior officers are a much closer match- they have the correct shoulder straps, a more conventional feather plume and breehes/knee boots rather than overalls. AB Prussian 1806 generals. |

Minifigs do infantry colonels in both 1803 and 1805 uniforms. link

Thank you. I am in Oz so can source from Eureka direct. |

The AB figures linked are super figures, BUT they are all in 1812 uniform and aren't correct, as described above, for 1805 Russians. |

I agree the ABs are for 1812, as for 1805 the suggestion of seneffe is very usefull for a paint conversion. |

AB makes a pair of infantry officers in 1805-07 uniform which will work just fine for generals. link |
