FPW Bavarian Infantry

A couple of 15mm Bavarian regiments for the Franco-Prussian War. 

The first is the 12th line infantry from von Tann's Bavarian 1st Corps, 2nd division. The figures are Essex Miniatures.

The second unit is the 2nd line infantry from the 1st division of the same Corps. Apart from most of the command base which are Eagle Figures, I do not know who the figure manufacturer is. I was fortunate enough to get these and much more being sold absurdly cheaply from a gamer having a clear out.


Both units have been based for They Died For Glory rules.

  3. I agree with Iain, Richard, Bavarians have always been a favourite if mine! Love the raupenhelm and kornblummenblau uniforms!

  5. Great work Richard. The lighter-coloured Bavarians should make a nice contrast against the darker Prussians.

  6. Great painting Richard. Cornflower blue is such a brilliant colour and always looks a great contrast to any other uniform on the tabletop.
