Somewhere in Spain: Assembling Perry Miniatures' Napoleonic Spanish Infantry

I recently finished assembling a full Spanish force for the Peninsular War using Perry Miniatures’ excellent hard plastic kits. In total, the force consists of 7 battalions of 24 men each, ready to hold the line or crumble heroically under French pressure.

The Italian 6th Regiment on Campaign

Both battalions of the Italian 6th Regiment stand ready for battle, resplendent in their white coats with green facings and red cuff highlights. Whether marching in column or forming up for a desperate defense, they bring a distinct Napoleonic flair to the tabletop. From the Voltigeurs in bearskin colpacks to the wounded drummer keeping pace, each miniature captures the character of these French-allied soldiers.

Marshal Soult

Marshal Jean-de-Dieu Soult surveyed the battered remnants of his corps from the heights above Oporto, the morning mist still clinging to the Douro like a ghostly shroud.

Sturmtrupp Falke: Falschirmjagers finished

Sturmtrupp Falke was once the pride of the Fallschirmjäger, their name whispered with both awe and fear across the battlefields of Europe. Forged in the fires of Crete, where they earned their reputation as elite shock troops, they were the spearhead of the German airborne forces. But the victory on that sun-scorched island came at a steep cost. The toll of Crete is evident in their ranks—men who once moved with the precision of a well-oiled machine now bear the weight of their losses, both in comrades and in spirit.
