The Prussians are back
The dreaded Prussians have arrived, in the form of the suprisingly good or exceptionally poor Prussian Landwehr. Made up of those not already in the army the combat effective ness of these troops varied significantly.

A strange kit this one, I believe these launched in 2017 replacing an earlier plastic kit. From what I’ve seen the older kit appeared much more characterful and more inline with the more varied poses of the Late French Infanty kit below.
Overall A decent kit for the pricely sum of £13 (after a bit of bargin hunting), the plastics are OK, not some of the fantastic sculpting standards from other manufactures such as victri or perry. The figures feel quite hunched on the shoulders. Detail is reasonable but not fantastic for plastic. The biggest let down is the metals, theres little definition in the detail, paticualry the officers face, there also a bit shorter.
For the price though looking foward to these being painted up.
