Prussian Musketeers and Landwehr

With the first stage of the French army now done, I'm getting started on with the Prussian army. The unit of landwehr was painted up earlier this year, when I was contemplating a collection in this figure scale, so it was nice to have already struck a blow. The unit of musketeers was quite enjoyable to paint, with some nice detailing on the command figures. My understanding is that the Prussian landwehr units didn't usually have banners, but the figure pack came with one, so I added him in anyway. Once all the units are done I'll be going back and adding flags to them (as well as the French units).

French Light Infantry and Artillery

I'm pleased to say that my French starter army is now complete. Last week I finished the crew for the four canons - a total of 10 figures (still another 10 to paint at a later date) - and yesterday the bases finished drying on the two light infantry battalions. I decided to base the artillery crew individually for now, and not to bother putting the guns on bases. My thinking is that it will be easier to position the canons on the terrain, and I'll be able to remove individual crew members to represent casualties / hit losses etc, depending on the rules being used. 

In total, I now have two battalions of line infantry, two light battalions, four canons, nine cuirassiers and a mounted general. A recent purchase has added a unit of line infantry in greatcoats waiting to be painted up, but for now I'm cracking on with the Prussian starter army, which will be about the same size as the French.

Both armies will be quickly expanded, but once I've done the initial forces (hopefully by early November), I'm planning to get some small sized games played. After buying and reading numerous Napoleonic rules over the past year or two, it'll be nice to actually try some of them out!
