There are no Pendraken 10mm Russian Command Grenadiers available. This is a HUGE problem, as Pendraken has the best 10mm anything available. PLEASE help fix this!
A bold first post ;)
Welcome to the forum :-h
Welcome from me, too !
Cheers - Phil
I like your style Brakmorn.
It's a pity our acquaintance will be so short. :P
Hello and welcome
There aren't any jager command, hussars, uhlans, cossacks or other stuff either.
Once we've done the current Rhinebund 1809 non-kickstarter. Russiains for 1809 will be next on my agenda

So who will the Russians fight in 1809 other than the Swedes ?

They were at war with Austria and there are a lot of near miss clashes - not to mention that they skirted with clashing with Warsaw forces through Silesia. Pretty sure there was Turkish/Persian stuff going on throughout as well
Also remember an 1809 Russian force is essentially an 1805-10 Russian force, lots of battles in that period, and the opposing forces are much closer to being complete than the existing old 1812 ranges are.
Once the current Rhinebund 1809 non-kickstarter is successfully completed, I am hoping that I can complete my 1809 French and Austrian forces without having to rely on other 10mm manufacturers. Before any talk of Russians or any other loosely-related 1809 agenda (1809 British for Walcheren, anybody?) let's see the same number of variants given to the French and Austrian line infantry as all the new Rhinebund 1809 are getting - and as the 1815 ranges already have. French generals are an absolute must, never mind a complete 1809 guard for Napoleon. And a French Hussar officer. Proper Austrian cuirassiers would also be pure dead lovely.
I thought the pose count was the same. 2 March attack and/or 2 firing/advancing.
Imperial Guard I understand is (mostly) already sculpted.
Part of the reason I asked for generals for each of these ranges was to increase the number of general officers available. What's the issue with the French hussar officer? I admit the Austrian kuirasier is annoying - actually the Austrian CL, Dragoons and kuirasier are all a bit poor by PD standards but they at least exist. I'd much prefer to see the Austrian completed with German fusiliers in when I and Hungarian in helmet plus helmets light infantry and some additional freikorps. Otherwise it's done IMO.
"Pretty sure there was Turkish/Persian stuff going on throughout as well"
Yep, Russians had 50,000 troops tied down against the Turks 1806-1811, and another 100,000 facing the Persians 1803-1813, and Chechens 1780-1850s.....
I would certainly buy into any Napoleonic Swedish army. The cavalry are a pain in sculpting terms as each regiment had a unique look and changed them during 1812 in some cases.
Hello and welcome to the forum
Take care

Hi all,
Got my first samples of the 1809 froggies and well chuffed. Very very nice sculps.
I'm now a convert to 10mm.
Having looked at the ranges its a little hard to see the 1812 stuff as compared to the rest and as previously said there are many obvious omissions that need to be addressed.
Its almost impossible to model all the periods as I only really do big battles. So I'm quite happy to use non exact substitutes. Always painted my Austrians with shako's for example.
Lots of painting to be done and plans to sort but looking forward to it :D

Welcome to the one true scale ;)
And I want the Peninsula stuff updated too ...
Shouldn't Cadets be fetching our brandies, and Nobby's pills, rather than threatening us?

Britain as well - (at least technically and a great opportunity for an alternate history campaign in the Baltic)
Welcome Brakmorn!

Welcome Brakmorn - can't help you as committed to 6mm for this period.

Me!
honestly couldn't care less about the Iberian sideshow.
Yes, but the Spanish army is so cool, lots of varieties of uniforms, colours and troop types, a sculptor's whet dream :)

Probably not Techno's wet dream.
I would imagine his are more of the Welsh rain and hole in ceiling type.
Don't go there, with the amount of 'figging' rain that's 'precipitating' here, at the moment.
Cheer - An even Soggier Phil.
Did it again last night, past the dragon on the A494, and the rains came. Every bloody time it rains when I go to Wales. ;)
Its not raining every time you go. Its raining, you just happen to go to Wales. You are under the impression that sometimes it doesn't rain.
Re. Hungarian troops in helmets, I have acquired a source for the 1809 campaign (ESR's own) which shows all the Hungarian fusiliers in shako, as well as about a third of the German fusiliers. Another source I have (The Napoleonic Sourcebook) can't seem to decide whether the Austrian artillery wore helmet or bicorne, although ESR has plumped for the latter.

Those are higher ratios than usually are quoted but possible. Still the addition of Hungarians in helmet and Germans in When I pretty much extend this range from 1805 to 1814.
Artillery are universally depicted retaining the bicorne. I'm sure somewhere a unit appeared in helmets but it certainly isn't the recorded contemporary look.
