Several years ago, we used a not-Kickstarter method to produce a new range of Mongols, which went down rather well and helped us put the range into production. Well we're back for another project and this time we're heading to the Napoleonic period!
We've had several requests for an expansion of our 1809 ranges and we've chatted previously about gathering enough support for us to get them sculpted. So this project is designed to do just that. Forum member Zippee (Martin) has really taken the lead on this and helped us put together all of the lists and provided all of the reference material ready for our sculptor to get started.
So how does it work?
- Below is a list of the prospective ranges we'll be putting together, 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.
- Make a post here, stating what you would buy, such as 2 x NHD1, 2 x NDW3, etc.
- We'll total up your order and add you to the pledge list.
- If we have hit our target by midnight on October 31st, everyone who has pledged will be invoiced for 50% of your order. Our sculptor will be given the go-ahead and we'll get them done through Nov/Dec/Jan. We'll then get them moulded and start sending out customer orders at the end of February 2019. Everyone will be invoiced for the remaining 50% + shipping once their order is ready to go.
What's the target?
We're looking to raise purchases over £3000 in total to allow us to start production. This money is purely to cover the sculpting costs, we would then take on the cost of moulding and casting the orders at this end. The range would be sculpted by Tony Q, the same sculptor who has done all of our 1809 and 1812-15 Nap ranges, so they would match perfectly with those other figures.
UPDATE - Target hit!
We're now good to go and everyone's getting some new figures!
This is where the fun starts now and we can add some extra items to the ranges:
At £3500 - We'll add the limbers to each range. UNLOCKED and available to add to your pledge!
At £4000 - We'll add a pack of generic Napoleonic civilians to the range and add one as a freebie to every order. UNLOCKED and added to all orders of 5 packs or more!
At £4500 - We'll add flags for each state to the ranges. Anyone who's ordered at least 5 packs from any state will receive a free set of flags for that same state.
At £5000 - We'll add casualty figures to all of our Naps ranges.
Let's keep the pledges going and see what extras we can add!

Hi Leon,
as discussed my pledge will amount to the following, hopefully that will get the ball rolling.
Saxony: 1200 infantry; 180 cavalry; 24 guns (plus crew); 12 limbers
Wurttemberg: 800 infantry; 80 cavalry; 19 guns (plus crew); 8 limbers
Hesse: 400 infantry; 20 cavalry; 6 guns (plus crew); 4 limbers
Baden: 350 infantry; 40 cavalry; 9 guns (plus crew); 4 limbers
Warsaw: 820 infantry; 150 cavalry; 15 guns (plus crew); 6 limbers
And if that needs a boost I'd be happy to add an Italian ally using the existing French range: 760 infantry; 80 cavalry; 30 guns (plus crew); 8 limbers
Oh and a bunch of those wurst 6pdrs of course 😊
Excellent, that kicks things off in quite the style! That lot comes to £900 for the current lists, hopefully we'll get enough pledged to add limbers to each of the ranges as well. I've left the Italians off for now and we'll see if we need those to get us over the line.

To start off with:
2x NSA1
1x NSA2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14
PNFL515
2x NDW1
1x NDW2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 14
PNFL516
I'm building forces for Et Sans Resultat so these should fit in nicely.
I'd also do a similar order for Italians if those get done.

Dammit! I'm never going to get the Korean War finished.
A question. Will the jaegers etc be in "skirmishing" poses? e.g. NWU7.
Also could someone remind me what the Warsaw headgear was at this time? I'm away from my reference books and can't remember.
I wish you all success with this new project
Take care
Andy
Absolutely brilliant idea!
No idea how you'll get that sculpted and to production in four months mind you!
Leon - if this is a success, could we suggest other ranges to expand with 50% up front input?
I would certainly invest in WW1 East Africa and Italian Wars expansion.

Yep, probably something similar to the Austrian ones:

We've got the sculptor on standby so he's raring to go. We'll probably get him to send us each state as it's completed and then we can be getting on with the moulding while he's sculpting the next one.
On future projects, the honest answer is I don't know. It all depend on how well this one goes really. Some of the recent releases haven't hit the ground running as much as they used to do, so this method allows us to 'test the water' a lot better and make sure there's a demand for what we're producing.
The East Africa range isn't a big area for either sales or requests so I wouldn't see that one being a priority unless we got some serious interest in it. The Italian Wars has come up fairly regularly though and could be a candidate.

I might be tempted to expand my renaissance armies if new shinies showed their heads.
"The Italian Wars has come up fairly regularly though and could be a candidate."
Well I'm doing 10mm Italian wars in the new year, so I would be in with a few hundred quid.
Good luck Napoleonic guys!

We can swap that kneeling pose if you like, something more like the 1860 Austrian ones:

I don't think we'd be doing anything that quick! If we go for another project, it'd likely be 12 month's time or so, towards the end of 2019.

Good luck with your project. Nothing for me, as I don't do anything in this period.
But just a thought. There was some discussion on this topic earlier. See http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,16990.0.html (http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,16990.0.html) where some people have expressed interest already. Have you tried contacting them directly, as some may not visit the forum very often? Or is that a big no-no due to the GDP legislation nowadays?

We'll be sending out a newsletter for the project tonight hopefully and I'll be contacting those guys to see if they're still interested.

1809 Italians are essentially French in white coats (or green for the leggera) - chasseurs barely distinguishable from French although I'll admit the dragoons should be a bit more Empress dragoon like than French line, foot artillery is also French in style.
The horse artillery though, that requires using the Warsaw horse artillery because czapskas!
So if you want Italians at least pledge for the Polish horse artillery :D

We made a decision on the Wurttemberg Leichtes and Jager the uniforms being so very similar that to reduce the number of sculpts we'd do one skirmishing, the other marching and allow purchasers to decide - I guess if we crack the target we could look at doing both options for both. Otherwise poses I believe will reflect the mix of poses in the other 1809 packs.
The Warsaw infantry are overwhelmingly in czapska, fusiliers and voltigeur/grenadier because that was the issue for 1807-9 (putting aside what was actually worn due to chaotic supply methods for the moment). However we have included grenadiers in bearskin to allow 1810 onwards as it was a very common appropriation for grenadier companies. The chasseurs a cheval are in shako and essentially French as are the hussars, the uhlans are in czapskas naturally. Foot artillery are in shako, horse in czapska (from 1810 they adopt a colpack so you can use French Guard Horse Artillery). Hope that helps

If I had a vote I'd opt for firing and loading/advancing rather than the kneeling pose. it may just be me but on the table it just looks like tall and squat firing pose, having a distinct second pose adds a greater perception of variance.

Never mind the Italians, what about Neapolitans? Okay, apart from standards I can use French infantry, but the cavalry are fairly unique.

Please itemise their commitment to the 1809 campaign :D

They were defending France's southern borders from a joint Spanish-British-Portuguese invasion to take pressure off the Austrians...... :)
Damn, I posted a pledge and some questions and it's disappeared :'(
Okay, here's some thoughts if I can remember what I tried to post.
Kneeling skirmishers - no, I don't use kneeling figures, so yes, replace them with stood/running figures is fine.
Artillery - I prefer the 2 guns, 8 crew, 2x 4-horse limbers in one set as this is how I field my batteries. So don't leave out limbers where they are not currently available.
I'm doing my Napoleonics at 1:10 so most battalions are 50-90 figures, and cavalry regiments 40-100 ish. I tend to build entire corps too, so over time will be buyng lots of troops.
Some Polish Legions c1800 will be coming up on my to-do list next year, so I'll be after some Poles. The Hesse-Darmstadt range would be good, as you can never have enough infantry in bicornes for doing earlier armies.
As I'm no longer building lead mountains, but buying units as I paint the previous bought ones*, my initial pledge is
4x NDW1 Line/fusiliers, march attack £5.25
1x NDW3 Line/fusiliers command £5.25
2x NDW4 Line Elites (Volt/Gren), march attack NO COMMAND (16) £2.80
1x NDW7 Mounted officer (5) £1.75
* it's worked so far, I have a brigade of 1812 Austrians painted in a month, with 2 batteries and 2 ammo wagons, and you know how big those Austrian battalions are!

We'll make sure the skirmishers are in standing/firing/running type poses, no worries there. The artillery will be in packs of 3 guns + crew as standard, but we can sort out your 2 gun / 2 limber packs once everything is done. We'll just need to hit our targets and add those to the list!

Oh yes, I remember what else I posted. Ahem
if all 2155 members of the forum go and buy $10 of MicroMark lists over at the Wargames Vault by this deadline, I can fund the other £2K of pledges and pay for the missing 1812 Russian light cavalry as well..... :o

I thought they were garrisoning Italian coastal defences (those that existed by 1809) in order to free up the northern Italian field army and French units stationed there but same end effect. :o
Neapolitans are only really needed for 1812-13 and their real moment of glory in 1815 I felt it was a stretch to push them as part of the core 1809 range ;D

So what are MicroMark lists and why do we need them [apart from fulfilling this pledge?]
They are A4 downloadable organisation charts, covering Napoleonics through to modern. Not tied to any rules set, include:
Revolutionary Wars
Napoleonics (including mainstream stuff such as Indians, Ghurkas, US militia, Turks, Mexicans, Omanis, Chinese, Persians...)
random 19th Century conflicts
Franco-Prussian War
Russo-Japanese War
Satsuma Rebellion
Balkans Wars
Mexican war c1912 (forget what it's called)
WW1
RCW
SCW
WW2 (including some nuetrals)
Cold War 1950s-1989
Vietnam
Korean War
India-Pakistan Wars
Gulf War 1
Balkans 1990s
Arab-Israeli wars
Post-Cold War modern
There's over 3000 in the catalogue, most a quid each, and always more to come, and I do sometimes do requests. A free sample list is A1A US Armoured Division 1944-45 is available:
https://www.wargamevault.com/product/84467/A1A-American-Armoured-Division-19441945?cPath=5776_5890
The idea being to give you enough data to buy the figures and vehicles you need for wargaming purposes. A lot of the early lists are generic divisions, but these days I write specific units with all their individual variations where they can be found. And once purchased, you get free updates for as long as the internet exists, as and when lists are corrected and/or updated.

Yes, true, some regiments were in Spain, the rest glaring at the Royal Navy in the Med, and biffing rebels and bandits in various places. The only unique figures they really need is a standard bearer with the prancing pony instead of an eagle, and 2-3 cavalry types (lancers in shako, cuirassiers in plain bearskin, hussars in shako I think), the rest are pretty much the same as French figures. But yes, an idle digression for now, 1812 Russian light cavalry and Opelchenie are far more glaring omissions that need filling first.

Good luck with this. Looks like another excellent range.
I am afraid it's not my period, so I will decline.
Had it been biblical armies I would have ordered a couple of armies
Hi
We need to get the word out.
I don't have time yet to check this all but I know I'm going to rant everything at some point so....
Count me in for 200 as a certainty.
I play GdB and like big battalions.... So will need hugels brigade, saxons, hessians, plus i want poles, especially lancers
Need to work this out later but at worst, simply add my £200 to what's most common
Let's do this
Just realised... You only need 50% by end of month.
So that's actually better. Put me down for £300
As you only need half now so all good.
"We need to get the word out. "
Then do it lol.
Has anyone posted on the miniatures page yet?
I've stuck it on my FaceAche painting page, but as about the only people who watch it are all on here it's probably redundant! I recently got some Risk figures for generic 10mm Nappies, but if/when I might supplement them with a few bits and bobs...

There's a News Story going off to them tonight, as well as Wargames Website and then posts on a few of the other forums. We've hit Facebook on our own page which then got shared about quite extensively by Womble67 which was great. I'll be doing another round of shares this weekend as well. And then finally I'll be popping it through to the magazines and asking them to put it on their sites/pages.
We sent a mailshot out to all the Forum members last night, so that should generate some interest over the coming days.

along with backwards expansion of the Austrian and French ranges to suit 1800-05 and expansion of the Hessian/Saxon range into 1806-07 Prussian.
At that point I might concede that 1812 is due* 8)
*even I will accept that 1807 era Wurttembergers et al are fairly niche

I always think there is a massive difference between finishing off a range compared to starting a complete new one. Eg to finish the 1812 Russians would take maybe 11 codes, the first 5 essential:
Uhlans
Hussars
Don Cossacks
Opelchenie with pike
Opelchenie with muskets
Jager di Pferde in kiwers, which would also do for a Swedish cavalry regiment
Ural Cossacks
Bashkirs with bow and armour
Tarters
Black Sea Cossacks
Don Cossack artillery
Whereas you'd be starting from scratch with the earlier era Russians,

I thought the only difference between the early and late Russian infantry was the shako.
Chad
Of course I forgot the baclpack, which was also different.
It's a pity this idea could not have been tried for the French Revolution remodelling and expansion. Would have saved me investing in 15mm. 😩
"I thought the only difference between the early and late Russian infantry was the shako. "
It is as far as I know, and indeed, more recent research implies that even in 1812 most Russian infantry still had the 1809 shako, not the Kiwer. Not sure about the cavalry either, don't think they changed either. (You can tell I've never really looked at 1809 Russians....)
Looks like my arguement is in tatters and it's actually cheaper and quicker to start an 1809 Russian range than it is to finish the 1812 range. doh!
Although, many on my list would be suitable for the 1809 range.
Okay, re-reading the Osprey MAA185, it gets more complicated.
Shako from 1805-June 1809 plain with pompom, cylindrical backpack worn at angle, with metal mess tin attached (which means the previous bicornes were probably worn to 1807 in some units)
July 1808 the backpack replaced by rectanguler black one, rolled greatcoat slung over left shoulder (which means the cylindrical one was probably worn until late 1809 in some units)
shako with chords June 1809 onwards (which means the plain shako probably worn until 1810ish)
So for 1809 Russian infantry, you'd have 3 options alone, before you even get to the grenadiers in their fat bog-brush plumes, which I would suspect had similar options:
Grenadiers:
1) plain shako with bog-brush plume, cylindrical backpack
2) plain shako with bog-brush plume, rectangular back pack
3) shako with chords & bog-brush plume, rectangular backpack (June 1809-Feb 1811)
with {for later reference}
4) shako with chords & tall thin plume, rectangular backpack (Feb 1811-1812)
Jagers appeared to follow the line infantry patterns after dropping the top hat in 1806ish.

Which French revolution remodelling was that? Did I miss something? Because the current range has no cavalry....
And no infantry in top hats or korshuts and long tailed coats.

True but I see it as completing the 1809 range - Russia was involved as a belligerent after all :D
And you can backdate Austria with 2 packs of Hungarian fusiliers in helmets essentially
And the 1812 range is old, my understanding is it is in need of updating wholesale, not adding to. So in effect it also should start from scratch with remodelling.
mark
You didn't miss anything. I just thought this idea of Not-Kickstarter May have been a way to do it. C'est la vie!
Just a quick note on the Revolutionary ranges as we've not discussed those for some time now. The last time we chatted about redoing/expanding those ranges there was a lot of support for it, but the consensus was that folks wanted them done by Clibinarium. That was really the stumbling block for it as Clib is very much in demand and his time is limited these days, so we weren't really able to proceed with anything. If folks would be happy for them to be done by Tony (like our other Naps-era ranges) then we can look at it as a more feasible option in the future.

Ah, being new to this 10mm malarky I'm not aware of the differences between styles and who did what ranges.
The 1812 Austrians I'm painting at the moment look fine to me, but I gather they are an older range?
I'll see soon enough when the next package arrives as I've ordered some Rev Wars and 1809 stuff,
Anyways, if this 1809 not-kickstarter works, it'll give impetuous for a Rev Wars one later next year perhaps,

I understand and it's a shame we've never been able to get something sorted out. The Revolutionary ranges have been bounced around for many years and there was a large group willing to put the money in but it all got a bit messy and never got beyond the ranges we've got now. The last time they tried to resurrect the project the consensus was for Clib to do the sculpting and that pretty much stopped any progress as we had other things on the go.
We'll come back to it at some point but I see it as part of the continued Naps expansion now, and it'll be scheduled in as we work through the different sections of the Naps period.

Whilst I have all the admiration in the world for Clib's sculpting skill (and not a little bit of evil green jealousy) I'd actually prefer for the Rev range to be sculpted by Tony - and the rest of the Nap range too. I'd much prefer uniformity of style within a particular set of linked ranges than having it spread about - it's not talent levels it's compatibility.
So I'd be all up for a Rev War non-KS at some point - will need a period of painting grace though for this one :D

Seconded!
Id be buying a lot more Rev wars era stuff than 1809, as there are a fascinating variety of armies and units in the earlier period. A lot of the relevant army lists are done for the smaller nations, eg in Italy, so we have data on all the unit types required. Although I suspect you'll not be doing the extras needed for 1797 Venetians (Cranide marines, Croatian riflemen skirmishing foot, and on horseback).
Mark
It would be great to see the Revolutionary Period re-sculpted and finished as I think it would be a great period to game. Having it sculpted by Clib would be wonderful, but I agree with others that a uniformity of look would be better.

We've made some slight alterations to the lists based on feedback with Zippee:
Saxony
NSA5 Leib Grenadiers, inc. command
Leib Grenadiers added to the list, we can do these as a quick conversion on the regular grenadiers.
NSA6 Schutzen, march attack, inc. command (16) £2.80
NSA7 Schutzen, firing, inc. command (16) £2.80
Schutzen split into march attack and firing types, with both now being 16-man packs.
NSA10 Heavy cavalry £5.25
Heavy cavalry added, these are another conversion job from the lights.
Duchy of Warsaw
NDW4 Line Elites (Volt/Gren), march attack (16) (czapska) £2.80
NDW5 Line Elites (Volt/Gren), firing line (16) (czapska) £2.80
The Volt/Gren Elites have been split into march attack and firing, both in czapska, in addition to the grenadiers in bearskin we've already got listed.
I've edited/updated all of the pledges so far, so no need for anyone to worry about their lists! Just let us know if you'd like to include any of these as well!

Essentially yes. Bavarian or Wurrtemberg depending with Hussars from the French. Just couldn't justify the sculpting for really minor differences in helmet configuration.
You have to draw the Lind somewhere and Baden was on the wrong side 😁

Thanks for the post and welcome to the Forum! Is that 1 of each code across all the ranges? I've added that to the pledge list, let me know if I've got that wrong.
And that puts us past the £2000 mark after 5 days! Still over 2 weeks to go, so let's keep it going and see what extra goodies we can unlock!

I think we agreed that that was permissible but I guess it's Leon's call - my reserve pledge for Italians from the French range is based on that premise though, so I hope its OK :D
To my mind it makes sense - the goal is to pull in some capital, can't see why it matters which models get spun . . .
Not sure that makes sense really :-
I think part of the idea is to see if the range is viable. Otherwise everyone planning to place an order in the next two week could say its a pledge and have whatever they want!
I don't think this will have any issues hitting the target without going off at tangents.

For both Line/Elite in firing line, I'd like to see if possible some reloading animations like from the hungarian firing line. They're ace and adds a nice feel to skirmishing and even formed troops firing.
(https://pendraken.co.uk/_img/products/911/NPA15.jpg)
What will be the exact difference between Line and Elite in terms of habit? I'm guessing that similar to the French, the Elite will have plumes, cords and epaulettes, rather than just pompom?

Sorry for missing this Will! I think at the moment we'll keep it to the new ranges only and hopefully we can hit the target. If we find we're getting short towards the end of the month, then we'll see what we can do to boost the total.

Both fusiliers, voltigeurs and Grenadiers had identical czapskas replete with cords, pom-pom and plume, differing only in colour.
Therefore the differences between elites and fusiliers were epaulettes and cross belts for the elites, shoulder straps and single belt for fusiliers as usual.

Wow, that's a big order! I've added you to the list and that takes us over our target! We're now good to go and everyone's getting some new figures!
This is where the fun starts now and we can add some extra items to the ranges:
At £3500 - We'll add the limbers to each range.
At £4000 - We'll add a pack of generic Napoleonic civilians to the range and add one as a freebie to every order.
At £4500 - We'll add flags for each state to the ranges. Anyone who's ordered at least 5 packs from any state will receive a free set of flags for that same state.
At £5000 - We'll add casualty figures to all of our Naps ranges.
Let's keep the pledges going and see what extras we can add!
Casualty figures!

Dunno about Aztecs, but an 1809ish Spanish Mexican army is on my later shopping list. That's all dudes in bicornes and long-tailed coats though. Apart from the lancers in leather coats and shields. And the 1pdr mule mounted swivel guns......

Do we get the wurst seat 6pdrs already or is there a target?
We'll get that done, no worries there.
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 will likely miss this event but will order a sample range to see if they fit the bill.
If so I will definitely purchase some of these ranges!
Good luck with it!
Cudders
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?

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 :D
by way of comparison:

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 :)

It's not a great image but this is the 1812 Polish with an 1809 Frenchman in the middle:
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4129/5020246053_516961cc7f.jpg)
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!

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

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...

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

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.

Cool - Would I be correct in my assumption that each limber pack would (like the existing packs) also come with an additional mounted officer type? Or this that just crass over optimism :D
I included limbers in my original pledge but feel free to up the budget if required. ;)
Unfortunately it looks unlikely we'll achieve the £5k needed for flags to be included. :(
The flags will be ready well before launch though. You may have to buy a few sheets rather than get them gratis but they will be ready on time.
I should be able to put up a list of the planned units I'll do some time next month so that people can comment in time for changes/additions to be made.

Currently it would be just the limber riders and a ridden horse per limber pack, we'd have to look at the costs of adding an officer to lead the team. Unless a regular line officer could be included? I've added your limbers to the pledge total as well.
On the flags, as Tony says above we'll be getting them done either way so they'll be available to order. If we can hit that target then we'd give everyone a set of flags for free.

Thanks for the pledge, that takes us very close to the £4k now! On the French poses, do you mean the firing types? There was a loading figure for them as well but there was some debate about the pose so we dropped it. We'll have to look at getting a new one made at some point.

There was debate over the French Line infantryman's musket being positioned on the ground between the loader's feet rather than to the left of his left foot - assuming that he was right handed. Meanwhile, the pose sidestepped into the ACW range. Years on, there wouldn't be any debate only loud
huzzahs if Tony used any of the other loading poses he has sculpted since then. The same goes for the Austrian Line. However, there was never any debate over a loading Austrian Line infantryman because there never was one. I'm pretty sure that sales of the Line of these smaller states as well as the Brunswickers won't ever compete with sales of French and Austrian Line but the French and Austrian Line, at the moment, have fewer poses.
I can pledge at least another £15.75 for limber packs.

That's a shame - one of the nice things is that the other packs give us an additional differently posed mounted officer figure. It's not that you can't use a line officer (in most circumstances - an officer in a bicorne goes a long, long way to being ubiquitous :D) to lead a battery it's just that I bet the vast majority of these figures have actually found themselves bulking out the pose count in command stands. I know all mine have!
So I'm not sure of the worth of dropping an identical officer casting into the packs - you'd need to
troll poll for a response to that, I'd consider it unnecessary but give a big thumbs up to a variant.
PS I'm not sure there are any limber riders are there? The nearest we get to that are the wurst teams (Austrian & Bavarian) that ride the 6pdr gun not the limber. To the best of my knowledge the
only Napoleonic limber riders are British RHA. Surely we're essentially looking at repurposed limbers from other ranges, repurposed riderless train horses from other ranges and converted mounted train horses?

It's something we can look at again in the future but it's not something we've got as a priority. It means getting another figure sculpted and then making a new mould to include both new and old figures so it's a bit of a faff more than anything else. And then I expect we'd have to supply a tonne of loading poses for folks that have already bought the firing pose!

An officer would be by far and away my preference if possible - I can find no evidence of limber riders.
We're only £100 short of hitting the £4000 target and unlocking those civilians, and there's only 48 hours left now!
We've also added the flagsheets to the range lists so let us know if you'd like to include any of them on your order. If we manage to hit the £4500 mark, then the flags will be included in your order for free.

Hi Leon
I'll definitely be needing flags for all.
Saxony is about 50 flanges.
Wurttemberg about 32 flags
Warsaw is about 36 flags
Hesse only about 12
Not sure what that means in terms of cost
I'll have a look at my order ill add some more Poles probably. Do you need me to calculate my list into codes at any point?
For the good of the project .... not because I want them at all ...
Could you add Wurttemberg flags x 2
5 x NWU1
1 x NWU3
1 x NWU5
1 x NWU6
I think that's about another £43.50
I'll have the Wurtenburg flag sheet please to add to my list.

I have no claims to being an expert in this period, but didnt Wurttemberg have a Garde zu Fuss regiment, which wore bearskin hats and would need a grenadier command?

It did. It never deployed out of the Royal Palace - Wurttemberg guard formations were technically part of the household and other than the notional appellation of royal to the senior horse battery they didn't serve in the field.
I'd have to check but I think it only attains full battalion status in the 1811 reforms in any case :D
The grenadier here are the 1st company of each regiment which was distinct in having the usual helmet but with transverse crest. So at absolute maximum you need 8 companies of them. Only if playing at very large unit ratios would you need command and drummers and anyone doing that will be used to the problem.

Hi Leon
Am I OK to step in for two of each pack of Civilians?
Kelvin
Ok,
So anyone who is a bit more clever and patient than me help me with what I need to ask for in my £300 pledge?
I use GdBrigade or Armee normally, so 1:20 ratio
I want the Wurtemburg light brigade at probably 32 to 36 man btns
The cavalry that served
The 6 (?) Hessian bts
Saxons
Polish Lancers
Then fill out the rest.
But I honestly just can't face working it out. Anyone fancy doing something for me and maybe Leon could send you one of my packs as a ta much!?
As far as Hesse-Darmstadt is concerned, you will be wanting
Leibgarde Regiment 2 battalions
Leibgarde Fusiliers 2 battalions
Hessian Garde-Chevaulegers 3 squadrons
1 Foot Battery
5 x 6pdr
1 x Hwtzr
Wurttemberg Lights
Württemberg had two Jäger battalions and two Light Infantry battalions.
Two regiments each of Chevauxlegers and Jäger zu Pferd.
2 x Horse Battery
4 x 6pdr
2 x Hwtzr
1 Foot Battery
8 x 6pdr
2 x Hwtzr
As far as Saxons are concerned, if you go for the organisation at Wagram and those in combat at the battle
9 Line infantry battalions
1 (of 4) Grenadier battalion
1 Leib Grenadier battalion
1 (of 2) Schutzen battalion
5 squadrons Light cavalry (plus 4 with II Corps)
8 squadrons Heavy cavalry
3 squadrons Hussars
2 Light Batteries
2 Heavy Batteries
1 Horse Battery
An additional pledge of £5.60 from me for the reorganised Württemberg Grenadiers.
I'll have another revamped NWU6 Grenadiers as well please
And a pack of the added Civilians, too, please.

Yes the loader for sure please and if at all possible also another skirmish pose - I may be wrong but the other nations seem to have a bit of variety there.

Do we know what the makeup of the flagsheets is?
Saxony, Wurrtemberg and Hesse-Darmstadt all have regimental flags what Warsaw are generic. It's hard to know how many I need without knowing what's on each. And I worry that it's just one code per, I don't see how you fit all 25 Saxon flags on one sheet for instance (13 leibsfahne and 13 ordinsfahne, especially as we need 13 LF and 37 SF)
Hi! With the dealine almost here, I'd willingly add another couple of packs to my pledge if (as Zippee has hinted) you'd be prepared to add Wurttemburg 'Leichtes' in "firing/advancing poses to the catalogue (it fits the rules I use to represent such units in close and open order formations and Jaegers with rifles don't quite cut it) 😊
Still, it's all very exciting. Well done guys!
Hi,

Usually we'd do 18 flags per sheet but we'll have to talk to Tony and see what we can do. Depending on the differences between each regiments flags, we might end up either missing some out or making a nice mix of the designs.

And our last pledge, thanks for that!
And that's all folks, pledging is closed and everyone's getting some new Naps! We've managed to hit £4261.25 in total so thanks to everyone who has supported this project. The sculptor has got the green light and he'll be getting all of the sculpts done over the next few months.
We'll be contacting everyone in the next couple of days to confirm your order and address details, and then we'll be sending out the invoices for the initial 50%. So keep an eye on your inboxes and we'll have some sculpts to show you soon!
Congratulations to all involved, particularly Zippee for his efforts =D> =D> =D>
Well done Pendraken & Leon for giving customers such a direct opportunity to influence what gets produced =D> =D> =D>
I hope they go on to be a profitable expansion of the Napoleonic range

We discussed this and left it as 'see how things go'. Essentially the uniform differences are very minor between Jager and Leicester so to keep the volume of sculpts manageable we opted for one set of March Attack and one of Skirmish to cover both. It is only a minor conversion to covert either but it adds to the cost. I don't think the weapon is the point of variance here. But we'll see how the sculpts progress.
Thanks all.
Great support for a really good supplemental 1809 range.
I hope this (and the success of the previous Mongol project) means that this sort of community led and funded expansion can become more common.
I see that Leon has also been running a successful real kickstarter at the same time. Busy times ahead I suspect.
I'm still slightly intimidated by the volume of painting I now have built up :) and I still haven't unpacked yet!
Thanks again everyone

Hi Leon
I've got as far as assembling and briefly reading through all the printed info I have. I had already started on Saxon flags for a painting job a few years ago but the customer decided to do his own and it wasn't completed, not looking forward to all those different border designs though. Similarly I have some work done on the Polish flags that will give me a start there too. Hesse-Darmstadt uses some of the Prussian layout so they aren't being done quite from scratch - Warsaw looks a bit of a nightmare but with a good deal of similarity and Wurtemberg is a total new design.
At the moment I'm only planning on doing the infantry - which is what I usually do for Pendraken Napoleonics, cavalry will have to wait until later if it is required.
Any help will, of course, be welcome - I'm no expert at researching flags but have often found that even the most commonly used references are not perfect (or even complete in some cases). Possibly better to communicate with my 'work' e-mail main AT tinytintroops DOT co DOT uk Andrew, at least until I'm able to share a plan.
It will be later this month when I'm able to give any detailed plan as I've got other bits in the queue before I can get to that stage.
Once I get a plan I'll share it here and see what discussion brings up. I'm not holding the purse strings so Leon will have the final say but, as I've done with other flag sheets already on sale, I'll try and give both good value for customers' money and a product that Pendraken can continue to sell.

Hi Tony,
I entirely agree regarding commonly used sources. All I can offerr is Saxon information from Hottenroth, the Saxon Officer who controlled the Saxon archives before WW1 and wrote the definitive history of Saxon flags, combined with more recent access to existing flags in the German Army Museum. Also info on other German states provided by Fiebig in his 1936 volume on the flags of German states from 1615-1918. This is not comprehensive, but contains much, including photos of then extant flags, which is missing in later sources. i am afraid I can offer you nothing to resolve your problems regarding the Duchy of Warsaw. I have also provided the info behind the mid nineteenth century German state flags in the Pendraken range, and contributed to your own Napoleonic Prussian flags.
Best Regards,
Andrew
Hi Andrew
That certainly trumps my sources (the 3 Ospreys & Over plus Drapeaux website) but, at least the Saxon stuff is fairly comprehensive and identical in both textual sources as to the designs. What may differ is in the deployment and issue of the flags or any individual details, of which I have little or no knowledge beyond those sources and probably don't need immediately.
Do you know of any glaring errors in these sources ?
Tony
Hi Tony,
I dont have the Osprey on Saxon flags, and am not sure as to the identity of the 'Drapeaux' site you refer to. That said, there are many errors in wargaming flags for the Saxons, including putting the reverse and obverse in the wrong order, and putting the cartouche for the monogram in field colour rather than white. I have emailed you the Hottenroth illustrations.
Andrew
Rawkins has an e-book publication on both the Saxons and Duchy of Warsaw. Have not looked at the flag sections but at the price they may be worth a look.
Hi Chad
Could you give me a bit more detail on that e-book please. Where might I find it ?
thanks

Hi Tony,
I'll be prepping a bunch of info on flags to go with the uniform data already supplied. That will include the relevant info from the Rawkins publications - which is extremely good for its time but usually needs corroboration. I think between what Mollinary will provide and my more general overview you should be good to go.
I'll also review the uniform data just to ensure there are no 'doh!' moments :)
Tony
Google W J Rawkins. It wii appear as the historyman. The e-books are £4.50 each and are good value for money.

Hi folks
Can I just confirm a few things as I can't really decide what to order without knowing....
Do the Hessians have bicorns or shakos?
Bicornes

Again, thanks to all involved in this project!
I'm very much looking forward to getting stuck into my proposed 1809 project. As I have previously posted, I won't be doing any painting, etc., until after Xmas.
Currently reading through General d'Armee and also enjoying the related videos posted on YouTube.
I would be interested to hear from members about their current/proposed project. Which ruleset? Unit basing?
Cheers,
Scolty
(anyone going to 'Targe' next week?)
I shall be at Targe. Supreme Littleness has a stall.
I'm being a bit pressed for time currently (and research isn't easy when everything is in a box)
Rawlins needs to be read with care - his info on Wurttemberg is very remiss (although the online documents may be updated I guess)
From what I can cull from my available notes on flags we have
Wurttemberg
1st through 5th regiments had the 1st battalions each with 2 1798 pattern ducal standards (140cm square with a 6cm fringe) and the 2nd battalions (raised 1806) each with 2 1806 royal standards (125cm square with a 5cm fringe)
The 6th Kurprinz, later Kronprinz was rauised in 1803 and uniquey had its 1st battalion issued with 2 1803 electoral pattern standards (140cm square) the 2nd battalion (1806) had 2 1806 royal standards as above
The 7th Fusilier/von neubronn/von Koseritz regiment was raised in 1806, the 2nd battalion in 1807 and both battaliosn were issued with a pair of 1807 pattern royal standards (254cm square)
The 8th von Schafferstein was raised in Sept 1809 from existing depot battalions and also issued with 2 1807 pattern royal standards per battalion
The leichtes and jager carried no standards
Hesse
The leibgarde was issued with 4 leinsfahne (2 per musketeer battalion) in an all white pattern (130cm square)
The leib regiment was issued with 1 leibsfahne (white with black/red rays) and 3 regimentsfahne (black with red rays)
The gross und Erbprinz regiment was issued with 1 leibsfahne (white with black/yellow rays) and 3 regimentsfahne (black with yellow rays)
The fusilier battalions (like teh chevaux leger0 carries no standards)
Saxony
The leibsgarde and each line regiment were each issued 1802 pattern standards (the 1807 pattern replacements were odered in November 1807 and presented in 1811) which measured 157cm x 144.5cm.
1 leibsfahne was issued to the 1st battalion and 1 ordinarsfahne to the 2nd battalion of each regiment
None of the converged grenadier or schutzen battalions were issued standards
Can we check with Leon if there is any chance that the command packs of Wurttemberg and Hesse could be configured to include a pair of standard bearers (otherwise we have to buy double the amount of packs and have lots of surplus drummers!)

We can do that, no worries, we've done it with the Brits and KGL ranges.
Really looking forward to this. Wishing away my life.
Anyway......did everyone pay their pledge and is it full steam ahead?
We've still got a few orders to confirm with folks, maybe 8 of the 'pledgees' I think, but I know a couple of guys are away at the moment and haven't had chance to reply to the email. The sculpting got underway today and the Hesse infantry were first in the queue.
Just confirmed my order total Leon,
Thanks again everyone, I'm really happy this has worked out.
Hi Leon,
Just paid! Sorry for delay.

Hi WeeWars,
Will pop by your stand on Saturday. Was helping my mate out on his stand at 'Skelp', but have got time off for good behaviour on Saturday so will have time for a good look around.

It is the 1909 work by Gen Hekkel of the trophies in the Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan in St Petersberg. Although in Russian it has illustrations of many colours and standards taken by the Russians during the war, including Polish and Saxon. Many were taken in 1812-1814 but they are largely still relevant for 1809.
I've also got the Le Plumet Serie D set of plates by Albert Rigondaud in my collection, which has four plates on the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, as well a Saxon stuff. If it is of any use let me know

Thanks for the link John, that's excellent and I'll pass this over to Tony. For anyone interested, the French flags start on page 65, then other nations from 125 I think (Russian isn't a strong point!)
As agreed in our emails, I post my initial order:
NDW3 1 Line / fusiliers command (czapska)
NDW5 2 Line Elites (Volt / Gren), firing line (16) (czapska)
NDW7 1 Mounted officer (5)
NDW9 1 Uhlan Elites ( 8 )
NDW10 1 6pdr (SYW) with foot crew (3)
NDW11 1 6pdr (SYW) with horse crew (3)
PNFL516 1 Duchy of Warsaw flags (x18)
total: £ 28.40
first invoice (50%) paid

Hi Folks
I have now only the sheet layout to do for the flags of Saxony, Hesse-Darmstadt & Wurttemberg. I'll be discussing that with Leon & Dave at the York show. Thanks to a huge amount of help and info from Andrew I think you will like these.
Now it is on to the Duchy of Warsaw !
I have the Osprey on Nap flags & also Keith Over's book as my first references but have a lot less confidence in them that before working with Andrew on the German states' flags (there were a lot of errors in those sections). The link above would be useful if only I could read Russian - but I can't. What I can read is the text but without the rest of the flag description or an image, it is of very limited use.
Is there a better source that these ? Particularly I'm looking for drawings or good photos of existing flags or copies made from them - they are so much easier to work with than textual info. (I'll take and use textual info. if that is all I can get though).

The Osprey's and Keith Over's books are not very good. I wouldn't use them for anything. They are useless where Wurttemberg is concerned. What is it you need? I can probably help.
Have a look on W J Rawkins site. They have very reasonably priced downloads that might contain the information you need.

I had no idea Rawkins publications were still available? I had some of them about 40 years ago. There is nothing, as I remember, on colours and standards in them and they were not entirely reliable.
John
They have and are being completely updated. As I said at the price for a download Ed booklet it is not a huge investment. I have several and am very happy with them. Currently waiting for some of the new booklets currently in preparation
Chad
I have the current Rawkins book on the Duchy of Warsaw 1807-1814.
It details flags for 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th8th, 13th 14th, 17th infantry regiments
1st chasseurs and uhlans
The current Rawkins editions are worth every penny, I spend £20 getting each printed out and sprial bound, although some are now so big as to need two volumes.

The 'e-books' [sorry a PDF on a CD isn't an e-book but never mind ;)] are not exhaustively footnoted but they are massively updated on the original paperback series and offer probably the single best single-source, all wrapped up together study of each army that's in the reach of the majority of wargamers. Like all secondary information collections they will never be sufficient for the series academic or student who wishes to research for themselves but for the typical wargamer they are pretty darn good.

The 'e-books' [sorry a PDF on a CD isn't an e-book but never mind ;)] are not exhaustively footnoted but they are massively updated on the original paperback series and offer probably the single best single-source, all wrapped up together study of each army that's in the reach of the majority of wargamers. Like all secondary information collections they will never be sufficient for the series academic or student who wishes to research for themselves but for the typical wargamer they are pretty darn good.
Thanks for that. People can get a bit anal when it comes to source material but one of the principle criticisms of his original stuff was that he didn't provide any at all. I've been collecting plates, regulations and books for nearly 50 years and I recognise a lot of this material.
Hi John
Just got back from York show and got your e-mail. When I tried to reply your server rejected my reply.
This doesn't always mean that the e-mail didn't get to you but, in case it didn't, I'll answer it here and say that I would be very grateful to see the scans that you mention. I can read pretty well any graphic format or PDF, which ever is the easiest for you. French text is not a problem for me.
Thanks

I have the current Rawkins book on the Duchy of Warsaw 1807-1814.
It details flags for 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th8th, 13th 14th, 17th infantry regiments
1st chasseurs and uhlans
The current Rawkins editions are worth every penny, I spend £20 getting each printed out and sprial bound, although some are now so big as to need two volumes.
Mark
Hi Mark
Does it contain any illustrations of the flags ? Particularly I'm looking for photos of the surviving flags or drawings taken from them. I have text descriptions of the flags but they don't give enough to draw a flag from as there is no indication of the size or positioning of the elements listed in the descriptions.

Some are descriptions only, but there are colour prints for the 1st, 4th, 6th, 8th, 13th, 14th and 17th Regiments, and 1st Chasseurs and 15th Uhlans. On pg124 there is colour painting of the Eagle Party for 5th Infantry Regiment,

Hi Mark
That is good to know, they may be useful if other offers of help don't turn up the same info.
Tony of TTT
PS I spoke to Leon at the York show and the layout of the flags sheets has now been decided.
Wurttemberg (17 flags) & Hess-Darmstadt (12 flags) will have their own sheets and the Saxons will come on two sheets (totalling 26 flags) so that every Regiment can be catered for.

Well done that man =D> =D>

Dammit! I'm never going to get the Korean War finished.
Well what did you expect. To do better then France or America did in that theater? Finish a war in Korea, not very likely if you ask me.
How are we getting on with the sculpts?
I am not on here to moan, it takes time to do all that work well but a little update would be nice!
All of the sculpts are here at Pendraken HQ and we've master moulded the Hesse, Saxony and Warsaw batches. The Wurttemburg batch needs photo'ing for everyone to look at and then we'll get those into a master mould as well.
Once that's done, we can crack on with the production moulds and get everyone sorted out.
It is a great new. :)
:)
Just to update everyone on our 1809 project, things have been a little delayed with getting BKC-IV released but we're almost there now. Most of the moulding is done and we started production on the figures last week. All being well we'll be ready to ship everything out to you before the end of the month. We'll be in touch with all of the backers about the 2nd payment invoices very soon.

Sadly we're not at Partizan, we're on the waiting list so hopefully they can squeeze us in soon!
Doh!
ok then!
Another quick update for everyone as we're almost there now! The production is almost complete so we'll be sending everyone an email later this week to sort out the invoices for the balance of your pledges. The new figures can then be packaged and shipped out as soon as we receive the payments.

Not going to fib here, I'm seriously excited.
I know its sad but I don't care.
Hugel's brigade leading the attack, oh yes.
Saxons struggling at Wagram. Check it out.
Hessians at Aspern.
Great work Leon and team.
Definitely something to get excited about <:-P
Emails have been sent to all of the backers just to check that your pledges are correct before we send out the 2nd invoices. Everything will start shipping out on Mon/Tues of next week.
For anyone waiting on the general release of these, it'll probably be a couple of weeks away to give these pledges time to arrive with all of the backers. Not long to wait though!
=D> =D> =D> <:-P
Oo Err Missus!
yeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :D
and there on their way :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Arrived home to find package on the mat!
Am I the first to post on receipt of the new range?
They look FANTASTIC ! A massive thanks to Zippee and Leon and the team for bringing all their hard work to fruition.
Will start painting soon - got to finish some Pendraken ACW bits and pieces first, then can devote some quality time to these wee rascals.
Again, a big thanks to all involved!
Scolty
Mine arrived this morning :)
Mark
Great stuff, good to hear that the packages are arriving safely.
:-bd
Mine arrived this morning, and I am very happy with them. I do rather like the civilian with the top hat. Add a tad to the height of the hat and I think he would make a more than passable Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
Mine are lovely and the first battalion is undercoated!
On second battalion of Saxons at 1:20 scale!
Having to go to work sucks!
Hugels lights next
Some of you are moving fast on these!
i returned from holiday to find an unreasonably large and heavy box waiting for me.
Fantastic stuff, now I just need to finish building b***y wardrobes so I can get to work.
Hi Leon,
finally been able to start unpacking this small mountain :)
and have noticed I failed to order some bits - I'll rectify that soon! As the new bits aren't on the website yet, i presume I just email direct?
However I also noticed a distinct lack of any Austrian 6pdr wurst guns and gunners, have they been sculpted yet?

They should be on the site by the weekend, so you can wait for that or pop me an email, no worries!
The wurst guns have been sculpted but we need to get some riders to sit on them, so they won't be appearing for a short while. I can send you some carriages though if you're happy to have them without riders?

Bartwurst or Brotwurst ?

Whichever is the wurst for you
That must be the wurst joke ever...

thanks Leon,
I can wait a bit longer :) just wanted to ensure they hadn't landed on teh sculpting room floor
because that would have been the wurst result! :'(
Don't worry, as current events clearly demonstrate we don't live in the best of times, we obviously must live in the wurst of times!
After all that wurst of all the 1809 Aliies don't even seem to be up.
I do hope you are not talking about my Wurstemburgers!
It was the best of worlds, it was the wurst of worlds.
Wurst pun ever.

Not quite yet, I had to get the last of the Indian Mutiny moulds prepped for one of our guys to get the moulds done. I've got all of the Naps on painting strips and I'll be blackwashing them today/tomorrow ready for photo'ing and release over the weekend.
Dum da dum dum Dum...
Very glad to hear that Leon. Like others, despite my mini mountain of these I missed a few bits.

Now the BBC is doing it:

Lucky we remain unaffected here in Oz.
Blackwashing all done today so I'll get them photo'd on Friday and released on Saturday.
Is making your sausage stand out with a black wash really ethical advertising?
i'm hesitant to start up teh wurst joke factory again but ...
We still don't seem to have any wurst (or riders thereof which I believe was the delay)

Sadly no, the sculptor has had to take several months off to do some work on his house and a few family things, so he's pushing any putty again until May. His first job when he gets back is the Peninsular project so we can put the wursts in with that lot. Hopefully everything goes to plan, what's the wurst that could happen...

I'd like to mention that I was making 10mm Wurst puns back in 2013.

And getting the Wurst of it ! ;)
No problem Leon, mixed in with the Peninsular sculpts will be fine
