28mm Napoleonic Prussian Landwehr 1813-1815: A Painting Guide

This is a guide to quickly painting Napoleonic era Prussian Landwehr miniatures. I am painting Warlord Games 28mm plastic miniatures as Silesian Landwehr 1813-1815.
Paints used:
Halford's Navy Blue spray
Vallejo Model Colour Prussian Blue
Vallejo Game Extra Opaque Heavy Skintone
Vallejo Game Extra Opaque Heavy Sienna
Vallejo Game Extra Opaque Heavy Bluegrey
Vallejo Game Color Ghost Grey
Vallejo Game Extra Opaque Heavy Ochre
Vallejo Panzer Aces Dark Rubber
Vallejo Game Extra Opaque Heavy Brown
Army Painter Platemail Metal
Vallejo Model Color Brass
Vallejo Game Color Elfic Flesh
Army Painter Soft Tone
Army Painter Quickshade Mixing Medium
Any corrections on the dark blue coat were done with Vallejo Model Color Dark Prussian Blue, and this would be an alternative basecoat if Halford's Navy spray paint is unavailable.

Thanks - like to think it means I will get the rest of my Prussians churned out before I get distracted by the next thing!

Thanks mate

Stunning result ! Excellent tutorial . Well done .

[@CullodenPaintingStudio]

Thanks very much

Good job on those,im always impressed by the detail you get using a thicker brush than id feel comfortable with.

[@CullodenPaintingStudio]

Thanks - a bit of practice needed to get the steady hand but I like a larger brush with a fine point for the reservoir of paint.

[@theenigmaticgamer]

Excellent tutorial, thank you. I have about three battalions of these to paint and your techniques are going to save me a lot of time....and keep the tedium demon at bay! Thanks again.

[@CullodenPaintingStudio]

Enjoy the painting!

Superb video and I learnt a lot. Thanks for sharing

[@CullodenPaintingStudio]

Glad it was useful!

[@Noneofurbeeswax]

That’s great! I’m really looking forward to getting some hard fighting Prussians on the battlefield! Great tips from you as always sir. Thanks.

[@CullodenPaintingStudio]

Enjoy painting up some Prussians

[@Noneofurbeeswax]

If you pair these lot with some from other makers of Prussians would they work well in the same unit as long as all are 28mm?

[@CullodenPaintingStudio]

@@Noneofurbeeswax I haven't mixed them up with other ranges before, but I would think that some Calpe or Perry Command would fit in just fine. Possibly Front Rank too.

[@MedievalWargamer]

Brilliant!

[@CullodenPaintingStudio]

thanks!

[@Thecrankybarber132]

Amazing .... got these off the kids for Xmas took me a few days to get them painted and they look nothing near as sharp as yours, only starting but something to aspire to. Thanks again 👏

[@CullodenPaintingStudio]

Glad you are enjoying the painting hobby!

[@maryhinge6334]

Nice work Rory, they came out well. What did you make of the figures themselves in the end? I’m sort of eyeing them up but not sure if I like them or not yet.

[@CullodenPaintingStudio]

Cheers. I picked these up ages ago when a sprue of 6 was £2.50. At that price they were an easy buy. With Warlord's latest price rise a box of £26 is £22.50 - not far off the price of metals. If you can stretch another tenner then go for Perry, Front Rank or Calpe!

[@maryhinge6334]

I think that’s the conclusion I’d pretty much come to, but thanks for confirming. 🙂

[@CullodenPaintingStudio]

@@maryhinge6334 No worries!
