Wurttembergers and other Napoleonics (Terrain work 8/14)
« on: June 08, 2018, 05:22:54 PM »
Here's the first group of my Wurttemberg line infantry. Miniatures are Perry plastic French with plastic Austrian helmets. I'm pretty pleased with them to be honest.





I'm also working on the unit roster as well. As far as I can tell, the infantry had a reputation for aggression and stubbornness, but the entire force should have some sort of special rule for their propensity for looting.

So well done! I am pretty pleased and amazed as well! Congrats!

 :-* :-* :-* I do love conversions and this lot does interest me. Not knowing much at all about Wurttembergers, are these uniforms correct or just close enough? I am just wondering if all one has to do is swap heads. Regardless, looks nice!

Brill  :)

Wurttembergers were my first 15mm Naps army (Minifigs).

There are some minor differences that have to be smoothed over. The breasting on the Bardin jackets isn't quite right, nor is the Austrian helmet, but they are close enough that a paint job can cover up the majority of the differences.

Wurttembergers were my first 15mm Naps army (Minifigs).

They are going to be my first official Nap army as well. After them will be Austrians, French, and Swiss. From there, it depends on whether I want to go to the Peninsula (Irish Legion, Brits, Portuguese, and Spanish) or Russia. I'd also like to do Bavarians, which would slot in pretty well to most of Central and Eastern Europe.

Here is the next group of plastic Wurttembergers. Working on the third group now, but I've run out of suitable bodies for conversions, so it may be a bit before the next batch.

Thanks! Working on the next group of seven (I ruined one and cut my finger open removing the head from the eighth) and some Austrians at the moment.

Ouch! :( It has happened to many of us, converters. In our eagerness and impetus to materialize our vision, we pay it with our blood... Get well soon!

The first of my Austrians are here! I'm waiting for my order from Warbases, which is why they are unbased. I have another four ready, but they are currently sans backpacks.

Thanks! I'm pretty pleased with them so far. Weirdly enough, they take less time than the Wurttemburgers!
