1809 Allies - Not-Kickstarter! - Pledging closed, Naps getting sculpted!

[Zippee]

Hi chaps,

Having done Adlers for the last 20 years, excellent range, my eyes are now struggling so am now looking harder at 10mm.

I was originally put off as the Nap ranges were rather limited but good to see some movement!

I also have a lot of investment in 6mm Adlers but started the slow process of transfer to 10mm a couple of years ago, the difference is marked, the ease of painting noticeable. And most of all my friends' ability to tell units apart, which way they're marching and their ability to pick them up has improved dramatically  

by way of comparison:

and 10mm PD French
French Ligne 1809 - 3rd Regiment, Battalion I 02 by Zippee Jerred, on Flickr

I really do need to photograph more stuff, what I really need are a couple of clones one for work, one for chores and then I'm sorted

Forgot to mention,  I note there are already some Polish and Wurttemburg already in the 1812 range.

Are the new figures to replace or expand them also?

Hi you can check out this thread:

It's not a great image but this is the 1812 Polish with an 1809 Frenchman in the middle:

as far as differences I believe the 1812 range is Wurttembergers in shako rather than helmet - shako was introduced November 1811 IIRC (there are a number of compounding and wide-ranging uniform changes starting in May 1811 that substantially change the look of all arms). The Warsaw range is more update and completion to bring in line with rest of 1809 range - haven seen those pictures there maybe isn't as much difference in uniform depiction as presumed but it's very hard to tell - the 1812 fusilier depicted appears to be in long gaiters which would be anachronistic even for 1809!

Done!

Hi Leon,

As I was planning 2019 to be the year of an 1809 Project - this is great news!
I have just received some preliminary reading to help plan my armies/units (and purchases!). Gill's 3 volume 'Thunder on the Danube', as well as his 'With Eagles to Glory' as well as some of the usual Ospreys. Won't be contemplating any serious reading and planning until Christmas as I want to complete the remaining bags of unpainted AWI, ACW and 'Falklands War' currently hiding in the garage! 

However, to get the ball rolling here is my initial order:


2 X NHD1
1 X NHD3
1 X NHD4
1 X NHD5

2 X NSA1
1 X NSA3
1 X NSA4
1 X NSA8
1 X NSA10
1 X NSA11

2 X NDW1
1 X NDW3
1 X NDW4
1 X NDW7
1 X NDW8

2 X NWU1
1 X NWU3
1 X NWU5
1 X NWU6
1 X NWU8
1 X NWU10

French, Austrians and Bavarians to follow in due course!

Thanks also to Zippee for all his hard work on this.

Cheers,

Scolty

And thanks Scolty I fear the hard work actually starts once the pile of figures arrives. This was the easy bit. 😁

Those pledges take us over the £3300 mark so we need less than £200 now to unlock the limbers!

[rikster72]

Thanks guys...been a quiet back bencher thus far, but this is something I could not miss out on ;-)
Plus I needed some Confederation of the Rhine for my Peninsular troops...(1809)

By the way, can I add previous range items to my order?
Just to flesh out the Baden, Nassau, and Frankfurters of course...

Excellent news

Take care

Once the campaign is complete, you can add anything else you need from the other ranges, no problem at all.

[fsn]

Tell me more about the limbers, Leon.

I have a horrible feeling I could be persuaded to contribute more.

[Orcs]

You are probably correct in that assumption.

[Leon]

I have a horrible feeling I could be persuaded to contribute more.

It'll be a limber pack for each state, in our usual pack composition of: 2 x limbers / 2 pairs of limber riders / 4 ridden horses / 4 unridden horses.  For the sculpting side, it means adding a pair of limber riders and one ridden horse sculpt for each state = 4 x limber pairs, 4 x ridden horses in total.
