Lucas Luber launched his Baden Napoleonic Army Kickstarter yesterday
As regular readers will know, I am a huge fan of his work; this Kickstarter reached all of its stretch goals within 8 hours! These are superbly sculpted and cast 28 mm figures. The price of the sets (tariffs excluded, ahem) has not changed over the past several years. They are available as STL files for digital printing as well.
I have found the army of Baden the least well documented of the larger German minor states, but they saw plenty of action in 1809, in Spain, and in the Russian campaign.
There are limited manufacturers for Baden figures as well, Murawski being the main other option in 25/28 mm
Unfortunately, I already have a large (for Baden) army myself - 4 Line Infantry, 1 Jager, the Light Dragoons, artillery and command. Unfortunate because these figures are awesome, right?
Of course the superb painting by Stephen Huber shows them to the best possible advantage!
Although there was only the one battalion, this is such a cool unit!
As he usually does, Lucas has covered the entire army, including command and artillery; Limbers are the only thing he hasn't done with his Kickstarters
Great selection of foot and mounted ADC's!
More Baden goodness!
I especially love this famous unit, having done it with the Murawski figures several years ago.
Different pose options.
Now these guys I want... may be enough tp break down and support this KS!
They arer most famous for there actions at the battle of the Berezina crossing in 1812, but evidently did see action in the Tyrol and Voralberg in 1809 as well.
Yeah, I am feeling my resistance weakening here!
Two different crew sets
Lucas even did the Horse artillery. Another image on the Kickstarter shows amazing details on the canon barrel!
The Howitzer...
Like all the stretch goals, the casualties were already unlocked yesterday within hours of the KS opening.
Great skirmish gaming options!
Lucas gets great photos of his work too, doesn't he?!
Now these fellows saw little action, but did fight in the Vorarlberg in 1809, so I don't relly "need" them.
They look pretty awesome though. Hmm, I do have a strong collector streak! :-)
Shots like this are just cruel, eh?
Another unit I don't "need", and which saw little action, but looks so impressive!
Yeah, definite eye candy!
As always, Lucas provides some freebies.. including free flags!
This fellow is free with pledges of 75 euros or more
Along with French General Kister at 150 euros. Hmm, we'll see if my resistance to this one can hold up for the next 15 days. Delivery is anticipated circa January 2026; Lucas has consistently delivered on time or early. What's Lucas' next project? The 1806 Saxon Army is on tap for 2026! That one I'll go for hook, line, and sinker for sure, LOL!
I've seen examples of Lucas' figures printed at anywhere from 13 mm to 90 mm, and the look fantastic in all of them!
