Napoleonic Prussians - 6mm - 3 Landwehr battalions

 Hi,

So, those three battalions are painted, varnished and ready to be based.
Here they are :

Flags are from my napflag stock. It seems historical flags attribution to Landwehr was somewhat random during the Napoleonic area, so for those of you that are knowledgeable about those they may sound as an heresy, but however I had to make a choice. Do not hesitate to comment your insights, as more Landwehr battalions will join in the future.

Colors used are from acrylic Prince August range (except specified otherwise).
Here they are :

Pant and rolled mantel : 836 (grey)
Uniform : 965 (blue)
Distinctive  : 817 (red)
White : 912 (ivory)
Black : 950
Rifle wood : 846 (mahogany ?)
Skin: 927
Gold : 996
Steel : Vallejo Metal Color 77.716

They have joined their little bag, waiting for basing.
Perhaps will I start basing as I have enough bases now and enough miniatures to start a session.
Not sure yet (will have lunch first - nothing is better than a good "blanquette de veau" to make your mind ;-) ).

Regarding Prussian painting, as next step, I also plan one artillery battery (4 guns / 16 crews) and 2 Hussars regiments ( 12 miniatures each).

And yes... after that I will take a break from Prussians, adding some more British Infantry and Cavalry to my armies...

Cheers and take care,

Bruno.
