We're back for our 3rd Napoleonic crowdfunder campaign and it's our biggest one yet!
This time we're setting our sights on the Russians, covering the entire 1805 to 1815 period with over 100 new codes planned. There's also some tasty stretch goals on offer too, with 1805-07 French, Prussian and Saxon ranges waiting in the wings to be included.
We've been working with Forum member John Cook again, who has put together all of the reference material for our sculptor. Work started on these last year and we're approaching 50% of the sculpts done, so we're not expecting any delays on this project at all. We'll start moulding in autumn ready to start shipping the orders out in spring of 2027.
Photos of the 1805-07 sculpts can be found here: https://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,24056.0.html
Photos of the 1811-15 sculpts can be found here: https://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,24247.0.html
So how does it work?
- Below is a list of the ranges that we've got planned, along with the code, a brief description of the contents, and the price.
- If you would be interested in any of these items, please check through the list, and work out what you would purchase. You can download an Excel sheet for the full project here (https://www.pendraken.co.uk/user/BigNapsOrderForm.xlsx), which you can use to tally up your planned purchases.
There is a Russian order sheet available here (https://www.pendraken.co.uk/user/RussianNapsOrderForm2.xlsx).
There is a French order sheet available here (https://www.pendraken.co.uk/user/FrenchNapsOrderForm.xlsx).
There is a Prussians order sheet available here (https://www.pendraken.co.uk/user/PrussianNapsOrderForm.xlsx).
There is a Saxon order sheet available here (https://www.pendraken.co.uk/user/SaxonNapsOrderForm.xlsx).
- Make a post here, stating what your pledge total would be.
- We'll add you to the pledge list!
- If we have hit our target by midnight on Sunday May 31st, then everyone gets their goodies! We will contact you to confirm your order and everyone who has pledged will be invoiced for 50% of your order total.
We'll get started on the moulding and then everyone will be invoiced for the remaining 50% + shipping once their order is ready to ship in spring 2027.
What's the target?
We're looking to raise purchases over £6000 in total to cover the sculpting costs, and the range would be sculpted by Tony Q, the same sculptor who has done all of our other Napoleonic ranges, so everything will match in perfectly.
So, what are we adding beyond the initial ranges?
At £6000 - We'll add the 1805-07 French to the project, opening up another 38 codes! - TARGET HIT
At £7000 - We'll add the 1806-07 Prussians to the project, adding another 31 products! - TARGET HIT
At £8000 - We'll add the 1806-07 Saxons to the project, adding another 18 codes and taking the whole project to 190 new products in total! - TARGET HIT
At £9000 - We'll add some handy sprues of headgear, backpacks and muskets, for doing your own conversions, or adding a bit of extra detail to your bases. - TARGET HIT
At £10,000 - If we hit five digits then we'll give everyone a 10% discount on all of the pledges, as a thank you for your amazing support! - TARGET HIT
So let's get going!

How many standards in the infantry command packs? Each battalion has 2 flags if I recall correctly, so am hoping for 2 standard bearers, 1 officer, 1 drummer for a command group.

Those are all double standards, no worries there.
Got mine down to £878.25 at the third attempt.....
If I bung in a tenner, can I put a potentisl pledge in for 1806 Prussians?
Do the grenadier packs (eg NRS14) inc command?
Excited about this project. Thank you for setting this up.
I am pledging so far 95 GBP but it may rise. I need to check more in detail what I already have in 10mm.
I was hoping that the stretch goals would include sappers for most nations, or at least for the British, French and Russians.
Sold in the smaller packs of 16 figures, sculpting wiseeach would take an existing marching infantry figure, adding a beard in some cases, musket without bayonet slung over shoulder, and carrying an axe, and wearing an apron.

That's certainly something we can look at adding if we hit the other goals.

Put me down for £200, which I got to on your spreadsheet without trying too hard. I will just need to get my Bavarians, and the Prussians I bought on a whim painted first (not to say the remaining few battalions of Austrians and French from my 1809 project.)
OK, after a couple of attempts I've got mine in at £938.15
Is there any intention to add some casualty markers?

Thanks for that, really appreciated! No plans for casualty markers at the moment but I'm sure we can add those in.

What's the allocation of the 30 figure line command packs so I can calculate what I may need - if there are 1 officer pose, 1 drummer and 2 standard bearers how many of each are there in a 30 figure pack?
Initially thinking about Eylau/Friedland.
I'm looking at 6 figure close order stands and 2-3 figure skirmish stands to use for both Bloody Big Batlles and for General d'Armee.
Of course I've got lots of 1809 still to paint but if I'm lucky we'll have moved to Staffordshire by/during next spring so this can be a new project (as if I needed any more ...).
Edward
Please put be down also for £200.00 pleae. I will get the spreadsheet updated and sent over. More to follow if the Early French stretch goal is reached!
Leon
Another question I am afraid.
What headgear do the NRU3 and NRU11 have?

Many thanks.

Quote from: kustenjaeger on 26 April 2026, 02:05:46 PMWhat's the allocation of the 30 figure line command packs so I can calculate what I may need - if there are 1 officer pose, 1 drummer and 2 standard bearers how many of each are there in a 30 figure pack?
You'd get 7 full sets (officer, drummer, 2 standards) and then 2 extra figures, probably officer and musician usually.

Yep, fusilier caps as John says above. There's pics of those in the sculpts thread: https://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,24056.0.html

Thanks.
So, the NRU range:
- Grenadiers are packs of 4 command + 12 infantry = 16
- Fusiliers are packs of 30, no command?
- Line Command (musketeers) are packs of 7 x 4 command + 2 sundry
- Line (musketeers) are packs of 30 no command
- Yegers are packs of 2? Command + 28 infantry?
So [based on my very basic reading] an 1805-7 Grenadier regiment of 1 grenadier and 2 fusilier battalions would have:
- 6 companies of grenadiers (4 in grenadier bn, 1 in each fusilier bn?)
- 6 companies of fusiliers (3 in each fusilier bn)
Similarly 1805-7 Musketeer regiments of 1 grenadier and 2 musketeer battalions would have:
- 6 companies of grenadiers (4 in grenadier bn, 1 in each musketeer bn?)
- 6 companies of musketeers (3 in each musketeer bn)
And 1805-7 Yegers [sic] regiments of 1 carabinier and 2 Jager battalions would have:
- 6 companies of carabiniers [grenadiers] (4 in grenadier bn, 1 in each Jager bn)
- 6 companies of jägers (3 in each Jager bn)
So would the fusilier battalions use grenadier command figures?
In any event it seems one would need a lot of grenadier figures for the 1805-7 units and small grenadier packs of 4 command + 12 infantry might make this a bit difficult to do?
Kind regards

Put me down for 150 Leon. I don't know what codes yet and I'm more interested in early French and Prussians tbh.
Very tempted by this kickstarter. If you are open for suggestions for stretch goals how about Murat charging? French 1809 voltigeur skirmishing ? flèches and a pontoon bridge with engineers?

I think those would be separate to this particular project, unless we run out of stretch goals here.

Yes indeed. The range will include line infantry in hats, light infantry in early shakos with side pompoms, foot dragoons, artillery and train in hats and some more personality figures and staff appropriate for 1805 to 1807.

Hello and Welcone
In for at least GBP150; probably more once I've looked at the Pavlovskys and the Saxons come out.
One request for another unit, although not urgent: you've got all of the limbers, but what about a caisson?
Looks like there are lots of new members. Welcome all.
OK I give in. Spreadsheet sent with a pledge for £752.10. A couple of caveats. First, by this time next year I'll be celebrating my 80th, so sooner rather than later would be really good. I should say that I'm not intending shuffling of just yet but when you get to a certain age, waking up in the morning is a positive start to the day. Second the early French need to be available to go with them otherwise no sale I'm afraid, but I'll pledge now at least the same amount for them. Finally, I see (or rather I don't see) that there are no Russian caissons. Is this an oversight? Scratch building them would not be a challenge but it would be a pain as I like to have each gun and team accompanied by a caisson and team.

I'm a few years behind you but I am beginning to appreciate my grandfather's regular quip that he started every day by reading the obituary section in the daily paper he had delivered to see if he was in it. If not he organised breakfast and got on with his day!

I'd buy a pontoon train. French and other nationalities. On the French skirmishers, there are line and light skirmishers in the proposed early French range and some in colbacks for 1809 proposed too. Let's hope there are enough pledges for the Russians to make them happen.

Really wish the early grenadiers were in large packs, don't really understand why they are in small ones.
I thought Grenadier Regiments of the time had 1 btn of grenadiers and 2 btn of fusiliers whilst Musketeer Regiments were 1 btn of grenadiers and 2 btn of musketeers. Am I wrong - it's been 20+ years since I did any serious research on this?

The pack quantities aren't fixed yet, so we can always adjust those to 30-man packs if folks prefer.

No, you are right about the early organisation. You have a fair point and my inclination would be 30-figure packs with command separate in 16-figure packs.

Good news on the grenadier packs, thanks for that - probably won't change the value of my pledge noticeably but will change the detail :D
If we're looking for additional figures for awards the Austrians would really benefit from Hungarian fusiliers in helmet to fit in with the 1805-06 period (and whilst at it might as well add German fusiliers in shako to complete the range).
Oh and caissons for all! - Not to mention those ever elusive wurst limbers for Austria and Bavaria!
Quote from: Zippee on 29 April 2026, 08:02:42 AMOh and caissons for all! - Not to mention those ever elusive wurst limbers for Austria and Bavaria!
Yes, I need some Austrian Wurst limbers, 8 of them. Also found out that France used them (6 batteries worth I think) in 1791-92 ish, so a need for anybody doing Revolutionary Wars.

I'll definitely be up for 1805-07 French and 1806 Prussians but can't increase my pledge unfortunately - that's my budget blown for the year already :D
I mean, I know its says 1806-07 but we mean 1805 right? The fusiliers are in hats not shakos?
The light infantry are they in early shako with side plume or also in hat?
Carabiniers in bearskin skirmishing would be nice if not essential.
Might be worth adding the headgear to the description to avoid repetitive questions ;D

To answer your questions and for anybody else who wondered, it certainly should read 1805-1807. The range covers the period from Austerlitz to Friedland. The line infantry are in in campaign dress (pantalons) with hats. The rationale being that the 1806 shako wasn't even authorised until February 1806 and as flash to bang for items of kit was 18 month to 2yrs, give or take, very few if any probably reached the army before June 1807 and the earliest reliable imagery I know of showing shakos is post Tilsit. If anybody wants infantry in shakos, use the 1809 range. Light infantry are also in campaign dress with the unique 1801 shako. Dawson's study of the army at Austerlitz shows that several light infantry regiments were still in hats in 1805. For these use line types. The foot artillery and train are also in hats. For horse artillery and cavalry types use figures from the 1809 range. I'm not sure whether skirmishing carabiniers would be a viable item given the numbers potentially required, but I agree skirmishing figures including elites, in all ranges, would be a nice addition. Not a challenge to produce the masters. Let's hope the pledges are sufficient to release the French, the early Russians need opponents.
John,
I'm hoping for the 1806 Prussian *despite having more than enough in 15/18mm), its so bad its one of my favourite armies!

Me too. I resisted buying the old Magister Militum stuff for years, which was not that much of a challenge because I didn't like them very much. This whole exercise for me has been with a view to getting the Prussians, and Saxons, done. The masters are ready and if they see the light of day you'll get a full range of all types from rifle armed schutzen with rifle rests to Towarszy lancers. So, spend baby spend!
Hi Leon. Excited about the new Russian range.

Pledge for Prussians £573.90.
Fantastic stuff. I'm still budget blown though - I'll probably add extras come the time but can't pledge more right now :(
Great support everyone
Okay, I'm up to £125.20, hopefully including the £10 I already pledged.

Wow, I'll get that added in!
We've just added photos of the 1811-15 Russians here: https://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,24247.0.html
I'm currently on vacation so remote from my "library". Its a certainty that I will pledge for a representative EYLAU Russian force and a Prussian Auerstedt one. In the order of 12 Infantry,3 specials, 3 cavalry and 3 artillery packs each. Then there is the question of risking banishment from the Forum if I field my existing 1809 French against them.
So I can pledge for at least £300 but wont have the details until mid-late May.
Are relevant flags planned?
Hi DD
What flags will be needed in addition to the current ranges ?
I know the special Russian honour ones are missing but what others ?
I do flags but I'm not a Nap gamer so a few clues will help me find them.

You may well be right that a mixture of the earlier and later ranges already cover everything especially the French. If I find anything significant, I'll reply again. Dave
The 1806 Prussiams had individual battalion amd unit flags, was just pondering how I'm going to do those.
Might need to bribe Iain at Flags of War, again! .

Russian colours and standards are diverse but they do follow rules. Between 1805 and 1815, Grenadier, Musketeer and Infantry regiments carried six different Patterns of Colours including two types of Saint George Colours awarded for special conduct. The Russian cavalry also had six patterns of standard including one specific to dragoons and one Saint George Standard. A good reference is Russian Infantry Flags of the Napoleonic wars by Prince and Spring. Then there are the Cossack and Oplcheniya flags that follow no rules. I sent material to Leon when we embarked on the project. The early Prussian colours, standards and guidons are nearly as diverse. They are similar to those of the SYW. I have collected all the information but I haven't collated it yet. Not sure if there are any Saxon flags in the lists.
Just had a quick look at Keith Over's book and the main Infantry series mentioned are 1800, 1803 and 1813 plus 2 St George (with 1803 & 1813). Possible some earlier pattern were till around in 1805 ? I'm assuming your 6th is the post inspections system which used the same design as 1803 but with some new colour combos. Owen implies that info on these is incomplete but I have other sources. Similarly his specifics on 1813 pattern are sketchy.

Over's book was published in 1976. Honestly I wouldn't rely on it for anything, especially Russian stuff. Similarly a lot of water has gone under the bridge since the the Osprey Men at Arms and Hourtoulle books were published
Not including the colours carried by garrison regiments the following types were in use between 1805 and 1815.
1797 Pattern Colours.
1800 Pattern Colours
1800 Pattern Colours with citations for distinguished conduct.
1803 Pattern Colours.
1803 Pattern Saint George Colours with citations for distinguished conduct
1813 Pattern Saint George Colours
Colours were replaced when they were lost, destroyed, simply wore out or when a unit received Saint George colours, not when a new pattern was introduced. When the Inspection System was replaced by an administrative Division System it had no bearing on which colours were carried by which regiment. Numerous regiments were still carrying 1797 Pattern colours in the 1820s. You have to know which regiment carried which, and when.

Is there a problem with the link to the Saxons?
Just checked and got the dreaded 404 result :( .
Hi John
Agree about Over - haven't relied on his info but some good, scannable images have helped develop some ranges. Over does list those and refer to the 1807 changes but lacks detail.
Russian practice over theory is a problem throughout their history - right up until the Russo-Japanese war. Practicality does sometimes require a more limited approach when producing commercial ranges.
Is there reliable data on which colours were carried by regiments over the period ?

Leon
Can I up my Russian order to £300 please?
I'm reluctantly going to have to proxy NRS 1807 shakos for earlier figures and use 1809 French for 1806-7 as I'll never paint all the figures otherwise if I get all the ranges nor get a load of use out of them.
Edward
Hi Tony,
https://www.caliverbooks.com/bookview.php?it9otvhhsr3q808ako6mg5f2q2&id=25186
This is about as good as it gets. The source material is sound and every infantry colour is illustrated by regiment, when they were present replaced and so on. It would be my 'go to'. There is nothing comparable on the cavalry.
You might find this useful too.
https://www.vexillographia.ru/russia/rarmy000.htm
Leon has a number of files on Russian colours, standards and guidons that I sent him at the outset of the project, including on the Cossacks and irregulars taken from multiple sources. It is essentially the sum total of my knowledge on the subject. He will pass them to you I'm sure.
As far as the Prussians are concerned there is no single volume study of their Napoleonic flags, other than Over's and Wise's Osprey books. I do have material I've collected over the years, some of them images constructed by a third party whose permission will be needed to share them. I don't anticipate a problem though. Many were patterns that dated from the SYW so I think you may already have a head's start there.

The sheets are currently just an easy way for folks to calculate their orders while we're in the pledging window. At the end of this month we'll send everyone a final order sheet with everything on, where they can confirm their orders/details and we'll issue the 50% deposits.

It may have been addressed already but is it possible to increase the pledges when you ask us for the final detailed references?
I have pledged for the Russians but now that the Prussians and Saxons are available, I may very well add a few more units but still haven't decided (as I am still painting my 10mm French revolution units).
thank you

If you'll definitely be adding something to your pledge, you can post an estimate of the increase here and I'll add it to the campaign total. We'll then contact everyone at the end of this month to confirm the final orders.
Please increase my estimate pledge to £450. God knows what my actual order will be but it wont be less.

Again Saxon grenadiers for I dependant battalions. It makes more sense for them to be in packs of 30.
John, what differences have you made between these and the existing 1808 range?

Leon, budget is tight with the current economy. I don't know if I can commit to an additional GBP 90, but if the situation improves, that would be the target for additional purchase (Saxons).
Quote from: Zippee on 08 May 2026, 11:16:41 PMJohn, what differences have you made between these and the existing 1808 range?
The 1809 masters were used for the new 1806 range and have been completely re-modelled. The 1806 Saxon infantry are essentially new sculpts in campaign dress, which comprised a grey linen kitel overcoat and linen trousers. Their bearskins are in covers. Haversacks and bicornes have been re-modelled and/or enlarged. Cavalry saddlery and bicornes, which are a bit too 'skinny', have also been corrected. In essence they are all completely new figures suitable for re-fighting the 1806 campaign.
Ok, cool, thanks for that. :D

No worries, I'll get that added on and we'll sort it out at the end of the month.
Leon, so how exactly will things work at the end of the month? You ask us to get in our final orders, we'll fill out the Excel sheet and send it to you, then you'll invoice us for half? How much time will we have to send in the order? I'm going to need some time to figure out what exactly I need...

Yep, that's pretty much it. I'll send everyone the finalised order sheet at the end of the project and then folks can fill that in and send it back over to me. There'll be a reasonable amount of time to fill in your order, maybe 7-10 days or so?
I'll calculate the final price with taxes/shipping and confirm that everyone is happy to proceed, and then we'll invoice for 50% of the goods only. The balance plus shipping/taxes will be due once the moulds are complete and we're ready to start shipping the packages out.

I know it's important to get a monetary amount agreed, so that you can get the deposits in.
But at the stage of 'closing' the pre-order is the number of packs, and therefore the total value per person what is key, or is it the specific packs? If it's the money side only, then there is more chance for people to fine tune their orders.
I'd also suggest you have a second chance for people to add to their orders prior to the casting of the pre-orders. Lots of KS do this, and it's a chance for people to find some more pennies in the gap between the initial deposit and the final delivery, to add to their order!

These sprues haven't been available before, as far as I know, but people certainly convert 10mm figures. I have 'harvested' parts, like hats, from other figures to make one-off sculpts for my own armies, usually personality and officer figures. I will find these useful.
QuoteI'm kind of new to this Napoleonic stuff...do people really add specific headgear and backpacks to 10mm troops? :-O
I'll probably get all the accessory packs. Not for conversions but to add scenery to bases, camp scenes, casualty markers and the like. A job normally reserved for the figures I ham-fistedly ruin while prep/painting.

Seconded. I'm still musing between collecting for Eylau, Auerstedt or Austerlitz and which existing troops I can get away with re-using. Those bicornes are tempting me towards 1805 but then my order spreadsheet moves ever upwards and a greatcoated army has to be easier to paint doesn't it?. Its also a bit hit and miss not having pictures that exactly relate to the final pack contents.

It's mainly a financial aspect really, to get as much of the sculpting costs dealt with upfront as it's such a large project. Folks can always change their pledge after the initial period has closed, I've just not advertised it much to avoid too many edits/queries!

As others have said, I think it's more for adding detail to bases, or making little markers to track hits/morale, etc. We over ever done this type of thing in our AWI range previously, and they sell really well, so we thought they'd be a useful thing for this period.
I can and will easily correct my copy, but my downloaded order sheet has a running total formula and not a section total in some sections after the French leading to the total total tripling the intention.
