Shouting 23rd Skirmish Order – German Fusiliers 1809 Helmets – Austrian Napoleonic

Design by Rafal Polkowski

The 23rd Skirmish Order was a formation of German fusiliers who fought in the Napoleonic Wars under the command of the Austrian Empire.

• The German Fusiliers of the 23rd Skirmish Order were known for their distinctive helmets, which featured a brass comb and a black leather cap with a brass plate bearing the number “23.”
• The Austrian soldiers they faced were part of the Napoleonic army, which conquered much of Europe in the early 19th century. The Austrians were known for their white uniforms and tall, cylindrical shakos (hats) with black leather visors.
• The Napoleonic Wars were some of the bloodiest conflicts in European history, with millions of soldiers and civilians killed or injured. The wars lasted from 1803 to 1815 and involved many of the major powers of the time, including France, Great Britain, Russia, Prussia, and Austria.
• The German Fusiliers and other soldiers who fought in the Napoleonic Wars were often called upon to engage in close-quarters combat with bayonets and swords. This type of fighting was brutal and often resulted in high casualties on both sides.
• Despite the horrors of war, soldiers on both sides often found ways to bond with their enemies, such as sharing food or cigarettes during brief truces. Many soldiers also exchanged souvenirs, such as helmets or weapons, as tokens of respect or friendship.
• The Napoleonic Wars had a profound impact on European history, shaping the political and social landscape of the continent for decades to come. The wars helped to spread the ideals of nationalism and liberalism, and contributed to the rise of modern nation-states like Germany and Italy.

Due to the inherit nature of 3D printing the miniatures might contain imperfections and could require additional cleanup where the support have been; use sand paper or green putty for example. Print layers will sometimes be visable.

3D resin is brittle, even if we use a mixture than makes it more flexible. However it cannot be compared with the normal plastic that is used for example Warhammer, Marx or Conte miniatures. Handle the 3D prints with care, a fall can break them. Glue info here.
