Gifhorn Militia: Hanoverian Landwehr 1815

 

These Hanoverian's are the last Allied infantry I will need to play through my Papelotte Waterloo scenario - hopefully later this year. They are all Front Rank and were a pleasure to paint.

I had finished them a few months back but work and my personal life have loomed larger toward the end of this year - in a very good way but leaving little time for the hobby.

Like the other battalion of Landwehr, these militiamen have largely stovepipe shakos for the rank and file with a sprinkling of the Hanoverian cap and Belgic shakos for the officers. The range of castings from Front Rank have various shako plates which I think adds some randomness which one might expect in a militia battalion.
 

Next on the painting table is the first of two British light dragoon regiments which have sat there undercoated but otherwise untouched for two months. I have all of January off work so perhaps they'll get a look in. Then the next big step is tackling the terrain.

I might get a couple of small games in before that using these troops as the table-top takes shape.
