MY PRUSSIAN ARMY

Hello! In this post I will be writing about my Prussian army.
I got these Prussians in mid 2017 and they first saw combat in a battle of Austerlitz I had with Thomas just two days after getting them in the post.
Recently, I've been repainting them to get them more historically accurate and to fix mistakes made by my sloppy painting hand. Here they are in the midst of battle.

Here is a much clearer photo of them in peacetime!

Here is one of the three sprues included in the kit. The horse mounted officer is clearly seen in the bottom row and the horse on the top left.
Here is Blucher:
