Some extra Prussian cavalry

[Fire at Will]

I've already got a fair sized collection of Prussian cavalry but when Strelets released their new sets I had to support their imitative. So I decided to paint a number of units that contrasted with the more standard ones in my army.


The easiest, the 7th Uhlans from Waterloo, ex Heilwig Streifcorps


3rd Uhlans (Brandenburg) the sole gap in my army (although I do have some Landwehr cavalry that could stand in for them)


Silesian National Cavalry, basically a hussar uniform. There are two variants of the uniform with red or yellow collars and cuffs, I went for the yellow. I gave them a Silesia flag to add some more colour. In the 1815 reorganization, two squadrons of the regiment went to form the Guard Uhlans and two squadrons went to the 7th Hussars.


Pommeranian National Cavalry, a green variation on the dragoon uniform. Again I gave them a flag Pomeranian this time. In the 1815 reorganization, two squadrons of the regiment went to form the Guard Dragoons and two squadrons went to the 4th Uhlans.


It would be nice if Strelets now produce a set of Prussian cuirassiers suitable for 1813/14 i.e. without cuirasses.

Some curassiers would be great to have indeed. Would be a good addition to your cool cavalry corps.

Nice work. I like them all.

I like your prussians. Where did you find the uniform-plates for the different regiments?

Originally from the book on the Prussian Army by David Nash (Almark - now rare) and then by trawling the web for Knotel and other plates. Finally for 1815 the Mont St Jean site

Be aware that there were a lot of changes in the non-line cavalry over the 1813-1815 period and different artists have depicted them in different ways.

Recently bought a lot of Prussian figures, not sure if I ever will get the time to paint them all, but your work is definitely an inspiration!

After Marvin we have Will who will paint and has painted lots of cavalry units!

And I like them all!
