Bad-ener Generals



The Murawski Miniatures order that brought the Light Dragoons and the Artillery also included some new mounted officer figures. 


The line infantry officer on foot wears a greatcoat, and is a reassigned figure from the ephemeral Pontoonier miniatures Baden range. 


All the Baden officers wear the silver, red, and gold sash common to their nationality. 


Look sharp men, here comes the "Emperor of Battles"!


The third of the Murawski Baden officers is paired with a Light Dragoon figure wearing the fatigue cap. 


The higher officers all wore dark blue coats with red collars, cuffs, and turnbacks. 


Epaulets, as well as the lace on the collars and cuffs for higher officers, were all silver. 



Dark blue saddle cloths with silver trim were regulation for higher officers as well. 


Both of these are re-based Pontoonier figures.


Note the red within yellow cockade of Baden.


My Baden contingent is thus well supplied with Leaders!

  3. Not often do you see cavalry in fatigue cap. That is an interesting change.
    Your recent flurry of 25mm Napoleonics reminds me that my own project has not seen an addition in a long time. Still have a lot of Spanish from Three Armies patiently awaiting an opening in the painting queue. Maybe if I scheduled a 25mm Napoleonic game, it would provide some motivation?

    1. I was happy there was only ONE casting in the Fatigue cap, so that I could use the 9th one in this way (my Napoleonic cavalry units generally have 8 figures). The Three Armies Spanish paint up nicely and pretty quickly with their white uniforms (most of them, anyway). We are starting a new Imaginations Napoleonic Campaign, and in place of my usual French, my country this time will be based upon Napoleonic Spain. My Spanish should see the table more as a result, and maybe get a couple more units added to them!

    3. The speed of these things is often fairly slow! :-)

  4. Nicely done. I like the figure in fatigue cap, but then I have a lot of Landwehr to paint. The Badeners surely will look great on table.

    1. My Baden collection is one of my favorites, so they make their way onto the table whenever I can! It may be time for another Baden Review, as their have been a number of additions this year, and the collection is pretty much "complete" at this point (well, there are the Baden Hussars, which probably will get added at some point).

  6. Great work Peter on some lovely command figures Peter. I remember the days when plonking down a couple of command stands to handle a corps was enough, but now much prefer more modern rules with command and control considerations.

    1. Thanks, Lawence; these should be more than enough for an Infantry Command, a cavalry Command, and an overall commander.

  7. More of your marvellous command stands Peter. Beautiful!

  8. Good job Peter, that will be your Badeners complete at last then?!

    1. More or less; I think the Hussars will get added at some point. I'll wait a bit and see if Murawski does them. Any French Hussar uniform would be essentially the same aside from the coloration, thouigh.

    2. Ah yes the Hussars, how could I forget :) But you're right French Hussars would work.

    3. They didn't play a meaningful role in 1809, but they did in 1812!
      I have no plans to do the Baden Guards, which really never saw active service.

  9. Lovely brushwork on excellent sculpts, Peter.
