We know the Perry figures in 28mm. But i am looking for figures for the Rheinbund for the 1809 campaign in germany/austria in 15mm. So for the 2nd (1st nassau), 4th, 5th and 6th regiments

Any use?

Would the AB 1806 Prussians be OK for some of the Saxon duchy contingents? Wurzburg uniforms look pretty similar to Austrians in helmets.

@ Extra Crispy. The Capitan models look nice, but i am pretty sure that they are sugnificantly bigger than most 15 mm lines. I had some and they were closer to 20mm

@ steamingdave

Try some!
My Nassau 2nd regiment for PENN, of my mostly OG collection, is Battle models mixed with AB french Legere. The mix looks good and they work well against/ with my OG French and British.

@Brownbear

There are some comments about 15mm vs 18mm

Most manufacturers are producing 18mm to fit in with AB, The Warmodelling (now Battlemodels) fit in this category, as do Blue Moon. not sure about Campaign Games, but if you send Dermot an email you should get an answer

If you want 15mm, Essex, probably some others

Battlemodels have nice Nassau, with fuzzy hats for grenadiers, as do Capaign Games. Battlemodels have "generic germans", they are a bit beat up, as though they have been campaigning – those are the ones in Mr Crispy's picture

I would make a list of what battalions you want to do from the lists, and look at the uniforms. You can get a big variety. I did this for Rheinesbund in Spain

Then it depends how much of a stickler you are for uniform accuracy. If you use 1815 Nassau from AB for instance, they would be at home in many other campaigns. You could paint some 1815 Dutch – there is bound to be a very close uniform somewhere

Not sure whether any Rheinesbund in Germany were still wearing bicorne at that point – you could use early Prussians for those

Hope this gives you some ideas

@ marshalGreg-I did!!!! That's why I made the observation. The Capitan stuff matched Newline pretty well, towered above my AB Poles, so I sold them on.
If the OP is looking for "15mm" then the Capitan figures are too big, certainly the ones I had were.
I do have quite a lot of the old Fantasin/ Warmodelling figures, which I think are now sold under the Capitan brand. Those figures are compatible with "18mm" ranges, such as AB.
