Wurttemberg Line - Eagle 28mm

Week 10 of the backlog and this time it is four Wurttemberg infantry battalions. Wurttemberg was a French ally almost until the end of Empire. Some very colourful facing colours and flags.


The four regiments I've painted here are Regiment 4 (Franquermont) in pink, Regiment 5 (Prinz Friedich von Wurttemberg) in blue, Regiment 1 (Prinz Paul) in yellow, and Regiment 2 (Herzog Wilhelm) in red.



Here's a look at Regiment 4 from various angles.





And I also painted up few of the Light Infanty as skirmish stands, also Eagle figures.





In addition to Eagle Miniatures, I see Piano Wargames now make some very nice Wurttemberg figures with more variety than these earlier Eagle ones in the individual packs, and also making the entire range of units in Wurttemberg army. I will likely add some of these in the future.

  1. They look great, nice uniforms. You never see too many Eagle miniatures on blogs etc, but they look very decent indeed. Super work on them.

  2. Beautiful work Mark, and I am a big fan of Eagle miniatures having used them for some Spanish in the past. Lucas's stuff is also great, and he has the Guard du Corps which fills a nice gap.

  5. Very nicely painted.
    Just for reference, and definitely not intended as a criticism, Wurttemberg 1st battalions had 3 companies of Fusiliers and 1 of Grenadiers. 2nd battalions had 4 of Fusiliers.

    1. Thank you Gary, appreciated and always good to learn more! If I recall correctly I think I decided to just represent the fusiliers for a more uniform look in this instance, and I don't think grenadiers were available from Eagle (with the transverse crest). Currently pondering doing the same for Russians and leaving out grenadier companies, not yet sure on this.
