Has anybody here contemplated a Wurttemberg army? I've been working on this army for the last 6-7 months and finally finished. Very satisfying project to do. I'm a bit over Napoleonics for while, though. This really first started several years ago when I picked up a couple of Wurttemberg units from Newline Designs. Then they got rid of the range and I couldn't add to it. Then Front Rank came out with their range a couple of years ago. I bought enough for 4 more battalions and finished two (yellow facings) then lost interest. I revived it once I saw that Front Rank had finished the range.
The idea was to have enough for a stand alone force with enough variety to keep it interesting.
Totals are:
8 Battalions of Line infantry
2 Light battalions
2 Jaeger battalions
2 Chevauxleger regiments
2 Horse Jaeger regiments
1 Hussar regiment
2 6lb foot batteries (2 guns each)
1 12lb foot battery
1 6lb horse battery
includes all skirmishers and command
Flags are mostly Flags of War. A couple of Maverick Models flags as well.
Bases are 'magbases' from Shogun Miniatures.
Hope you like them.
Cheers,
Mick Look here for heaps more photos and commentary:

Simply amazing. One of the nicest Napoleonic armies I've ever seen. |

I think that was time well spent. I really like those figures. They look like the would match Calpe figures from a size standpoint. Matthew |

If I could paint that well, I'd be "on" Napoleonics 24/7. :-) |

Excellent – really top shelf! That must have cost a fortune in tufts and grasses right? |

Beautifully done, and an Army on my bucket list since this is the area of Germany that my ancestors came from. |

Very impressive…after I finish my Bavarians I'm going to do a Wurttemberg army. You've inspired me to continue on that path. |

I am envious beyond belief. Beautiful work. I have exactly the same figures and organization for my Wurties. I just have to paint them. |

So good I've bookmarked your page for reference on the Wurttemburg army!

Wow, thanks for all the comments. I hoped that waiting until it was done and showing it at once would have a good impact. Seems like it worked! I try to put some time into the basing as it helps with the overall effect. Nice to see that it's inspiring others to finish off their Wurttembergers. |
| Sparker | 07 Jun 2014 3:24 p.m. PST |
Absolutely outstanding work Mick! I hope we will see these in action at the Hall of Heroes in 2016 when I hope to recreate the 1809 campaign…. |

Very nice Mick, although there is a button missing and one has his fly undone….:) |

Wow, those are inspiring! Well done, that man. |
| AuvergneWargamer | 08 Jun 2014 12:37 p.m. PST |
Outstanding!!!! 6 to 7 months is amazing given the standard and number of figures. Interesting that the Newline ones are different but they do add variety. Quite inspiring but I will resist Wurttembergers until I've painted myself, more likely got others to do them for me, the 15 unstarted Battalions of Bavarians so that they can join my 8 painted Battalions. Cheers, Paul |
