Title: 1812 Russian Generals
Post by: lekw on 14 June 2021, 06:33:30 PM
Hi all, I have been slowly using the 1812 range to put together a Russian army. I do not see any Russian high command in the range does anyone have an idea of what I could use as proxies? Was thinking maybe the 1809 Austrians? Thanks!!!

Try the Duke of Brunswick and the Wurttemberg (1809) officers?


Possibly NPR16 from the Prussians? NHD4 from Hesse-Darmstadt? NSA8 from Saxony?

Anything with a cocked hat worn East - West, high jacked boots or overalls should do as the basis for a Russian general.  You might need to add to the plume.

The fellow wearing the Tam O'Shanter would make a decent proxy for "Peasant dress" version of Kutuzov.

A little paint conversion (Eye patch, beige kaftan) and you'll never know the difference.

Indeed. That fellow is the Duke of Brunswick.

The last two (Hesse-Darmstadt and Saxony) seem the best bets for general generals.
