The next project for my 1815 allied army would by the Hanoverians. Like the other forces, these are all built around use with Bloody Big Battles. The idea is to paint a brigade of six bases. The brigade will be made up of one battalion, with double command. This gives me the option of playing the units as six base battalions for other rules (Valor and Fortitude for the moment). I am starting to like the look of double flag units, so I will probably go in the direction for my future forces (I have done singles up until now).
All the units are pre-painted models from the Gajo Napoleonic British line. The cavalry was from the Austrian line. The infantry were pretty much good to go with some minor changes. First, I repainted all the trousers of the militia and lights gray. I painted the regular infantry line trousers blue I chose a multi uniform battalion). I then adjusted the sashes and drums. The Hussars matched, except the trousers. So, I just repainted them gray.
Next, I affixed some flags from GMB to all the units, I affixed all the models on metal bases and flocked the bases using Geohex Green and Woodland Scenics flock. Everything was then locked down with a heavy spray of Tamiya dull coat.
