"28mm Napoleonic Wurttemberg Army - Completed!" Topic

Very very beautiful.

They are so nice that I wouldn't want to open fire on them, even with fake plastic cannons.

Thank you again for the comments.

@Sparker – Yeah, why not? These are intended for 1809 so a good fit.

@Paul(AuvergneWargamer)- That's a lot of Bavarians! Hope to see your pics when done.

@Korsun0 – well spotted..!

I was a bit so-so about Front Rank until I appreciated their more recent releases up close.

Wow!

Great!
Im doing these guys in 18mm

You painted all these napoleonics in 6-7 months??

This is probably the most beautiful napoleonics I've seen to this day. Bravo!

A lovely army, well done!

Nice to see – ever since I read "Swords around a throne" I have wanted to do these – very manageable army compared to doing the French

Nicely done sir!

Congratuletions!!! I love it.

Simple stunning Mick…very nice indeed well done mate!

Truly Impressive! Bravo!

Thank you for the continued positive comments. Who knew this thread had legs?

Very nicely done. Truly outstanding. Your persistence is amazing.

Absolutely outstanding! I have recently returned to painting miniatures after a long absence and if I achieve what you have I would be thrilled (but then again I might be having illusions of painting adequacy, the eyes aren't quite what they once were…) I Could I trouble you to ask what bases you use?

Stunning! :)

OMG !! You say you've worked on these for 6-7 months, i couldn't paint that many figures to that standard in 6-7 decades !! Truly outstanding.

Those are gorgeous, beautiful work!

Stunning work!!!

Thanks!
@Take me back to Elba – the bases are from Shogun Miniatures. I use them for all my figures these days.

Very inspiring

Magnificent as always Mick!

I look forward to seeing them on the table some day.

Great thanks for that Bandolier; I just checked them out.

Just out of interest what paints did you use? Did you varnish? Prime? Keen for any advice provided you are not giving away closely guarded secrets!

Really magnificent work.

I noted your comment about the yellow fittings on the guns: I've wondered about that. When people write 'black metal fittings' it is clear they mean metal fittings painted black. However, when people write about the fittings being yellow they tend to be bit vague about whether they mean painted yellow or the metal is yellow (i.e. brass). Never really got that one clear.

I feel a bit late to the ball,but man- those are inspiring!
Have they seen action yet?
Cheers, thanks for sharing!
Ths

They've seen a couple of games so far. They were to have a run a week or two ago but the game was cancelled.

@Take me back to Elba – No secrets mate, happy to share with whoever asks. Paints are Foundry, Vallejo, Citadel and a couple of craft paints. I primed in grey or black depending on the unit. Leave me your email address if you would like more detail.

@DHautpol – Yes, that was something that I was never clear on either. Some interpretations were literally yellow painted metal (looks terrible) and others suggested brass. I went with what I thought looked the best.

Mick – superb army, beautifully done in a simple tastful style – stunning, inspiring!

Have had a closer look at your bases and terrain. I don't want to take away anything from the exquisite painting but the basing is just out of this world! Looking at other top quality painting examples you are on a par but many of them just don't do terrain like you do! Cheers JJ

Simply Outstanding!

Loving this work

Beautiful ,colourful and inspiring.

I think you should apply to Front Rank for some commission, as its a great advert for them. My decision to go with Front Rank also appears to be vindicated.

Superbly done. great colours and pictures.Congats!!!!

Thanks for the comments.
Nice to see the thread still getting interest!

I went and looked at my 15mm Wurt's. I have almost the exact same mix. Less flags though. You are incredible.

incredible work.

I am grateful that others have posted recently on this thread as otherwise I would have missed the thread.

This army is simply beautiful.

Excellent work on these. I have them in 15mm. I really like their cavalry, with the Jagers zu Pferd and Cheveauleger Regt, each with different uniforms from their counterpart. One note though, the 5th Regt was not Hussars, it was the Kronprinz Dragoons.

I agree with wargame insomniac. Occasionally something is worth 86 postings. These are….and you are back to the top yet again, so someone else might notice them!

Images like this I often save, for tips in painting small details. Many ideas gained from your work

Thank you for you the bump! Good call bkim4175, you've spotted my deliberate mistake…they are indeed dragoons.

hahaha Berg is the word!

Cracking little army :-)

I've missed this each time it's been bumped until now. That is an awe-inspiring army; it has quality and quantity. I don't think there's a table where that wouldn't be welcome.

Bumping this because it's just inspiring :)

What an effort. Just awe inspiring.

Very well done. What figs did you use for your Generals etc

I started my Wurttemberg army 33 years ago using mostly Minifigs. I can now field Vandames 8th Corps 1809. Still filling out the Guard Infantry and Dragoons (No hussars in army)

Thanks vichussar. I used the Fronk Rank mtd generals. From memory they have a cavalry general, infantry general and aide de camp. Definitely on the other end of the scale of Minifigs!
I asked FR if they were making guard troops and they said no. I would have loved some guard cavalry to go with these.

Rather splendid!

Ah, now lets get to the important thing. How do the die roll when these lads get on the table???

I've just purchased these miniature myself.
I'll use you work as inspiration.

Magnificent!

Funny to think this is two years old already. Nice to know people still take the time to comment.

@1968billsfan – Very average performers on the table but they've had a few good moments.

I expect you'll enjoy painting your new figures, trailape.
