28mm Napoleonic - Brunswick Brigade

With it coming up to the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo there is a lot enthusiasm at the club for doing a re-fight of this classic battle.  We've opted to use the Black Powder rules and use 28mm figures, mainly because a couple of our group already had some.  After steadfastly resisting getting into this period as I've so many other wargaming interests, I succumbed and agree to become involved.  A few weeks backs now I picked up at the Vapnartak show a small Brunswick Brigade. The figures are Perry Miniatures (metal) and are quite nice.  (Here's a selection)

My friend John Savage is doing most of the organising for this game, and has produced a comprehensive listing of the units involved in the battle that we need to field.  From the units outstanding I selected the Brunswicks for three reasons:

1)  The unit isn't too big, being only 2 Regts of Infantry, a small Calalry Regt. a Gun and a HQ.  Hopefully this means its an achievable aim in terms if getting it painted and ready for mid-year.

2)  The figures don't need assembling.  I know plastics are cheaper, but gluing them together is a ball-acher.

3)  Their uniform is really plain being mainly black, and so is easy to paint !  LOL

Anyway, here's the first Regt I'm on with.  Still some work to do, but definitely making some progress here.
