Perry Miniatures: And the two new Napoleonic ranges are…. 1806 Prussians and 1806-09 Saxons! These were going to be released together but we’re so busy at Perry Mins at the moment it was better to stagger it a bit. So today we’re releasing the first nine codes of Prussians, the Saxons a little latter, probably January.
1806 Prussians - The first batch are all musketeers and schützen; grenadiers to follow shortly. The Prussian Army of 1806 was a very colourful army in complete contrast to the later one. There were three cuff designs Brandenburg, Swedish and Round. The Round cuffs could easily be painted as Brandenburg. The Prussian musket was designed with a larger hole to the pan so was primed from the muzzle rather than the pan; hence you’ll notice the musket drill on some figures is a little different from other armies. The Saxons however, used the same design. I’d like to thank Hans-Karl Weiss for all his help with research on both armies. Grahame Black of GMB Designs has also kindly restarted work on the Saxon flags for the 1806-09 Army which should be available soon, keep an eye on his website!
These are all available on our website
