Blucher reviews his troops

I have finished my Blucher and thought it would appropriate for him to review his small, but growing, army.


So far I only have the 9th RIR and Von Lutzow Lancers but I do have 4 battalions, a dragoon regiment and 2 batteries in the painting queue.


The Blucher figure is a JC recast as is his horse. I don't think is the correct horse to use for a mounted Prussian officer but its the only one I had.


Blucher address his troops.

'Raise high the black flags, my children. No prisoners. No pity. I will shoot any man I see with pity in him.

  1. He is excellent, Mark. Your Prussians will grow exponentially now with such a fine general to lead them!

    1. Hi Matt

      I am in a quandary as to wait to paint next. Do I do some more Prussian Infantry or some British Cavalry perhaps.

    1. Hi Phil

      I hope it will inspire his troops when they face the French across 'Le table de Mars'.

    1. Hi LG

      I have a few other Hinton Hunt personality figures and they indeed very nice indeed.

  4. Very nice Mark...

    I think Blucher can have any horse he wants... I suspect he would have had Napoleons if he could.

    All the best. Aly

  5. Lovely figure Mark well done, he was a pretty murderous old git though. It must have been agony giving birth to that elephant.

  6. Cracking moustache - clearly no slug balancers in the Prussian Army! No wonder his troops fought for him. Also that quote is my favourite bit of the film - although shortly after that the Prussian cavalry are spoiled by being reverse image shots.... :o(
