Week 23 of backlog, and this time it is a couple of units of Prussian Dragoons. These are from the Perry Allied Cavalry plastic boxset.

Prussian Horse Artillery - Perry 28mm
Week 22 of the backlog, and here are some Prussian horse artillery. These are similar to the line artillery I posted last week, but the crew wear the longer litewka coat, and they have white rather than black crossbelts. Perry models again.

Prussian Line Artilllery - Perry 28mm
Week 21 of the backlog, and here are a few more Prussians, some line artillery. I have dozens of guns for my other forces but the Prussians are just a side project to supplement friends forces, so not as many needed.
Once again the artillery are Prussian Blue with a Prussian Blue/Pastel Blue mix drybrush, while the crew have Dark Prussian Blue highlighted with Prussian Blue. All Vallejo paints.

Prussian Limbers - Perry 28mm
Week 20 of backlog and here is the beginning of a small force of Prussians. These limbers were painted up for our Leipzig refight last year as Horse Artillery Limbers, hence the white cross belts, and are Perry figures. My Prussian force will not be large as several friends have Prussian forces already, but useful to have a few extras available given how persistently they were involved in the 1813-15 period!
The Prussian artillery and limber colour I went with is Vallejo Prussian Blue highlighted/drybrushed with a mix of that colour and Vallejo Pastel Blue. Meanwhile the coats of the drivers are Vallejo Dark Prussian Blue highlighted with Vallejo Prussian Blue. This seems to give the right sort of colour and contrast between the two, though I'm actually happier with how this has turned out in photos as compared to real life! The Prussian army as a whole is probably the most dull looking of the period, in greys and dark blues with rare exceptions, though the facing colours, and lighter blue of the artillery and Dragoons at least provides a bit more colour! The 1806 Prussians were much prettier looking, though present in far fewer and more one sided actions, and thus not as good for wargaming.
