Wellington's Allies on Parade

Having recently paraded Wellington's British infantry I thought that, for the sake of completeness, I should also parade his Allies.

There are 96 Hinton Hunt figures arranged in four units.
The figures have all been painted by me except for the Nassauers (Matt G).
Hanoverians in the front followed by Belgians, Brunswickers and the Nassau Grenadiers.

The first of these units (the Nassauers) was painted in 2010 and the last (Hanoverians) this year.

I guess this effectively completes Wellington's infantry giving him a total of 12 units to call upon. This doesn't mean I won't paint more in the future (no wargamer ever completes an army) but for now I intend to shift my focus to the Austrians.

  3. Impressive. That should be enough to hold it Nappy until the Prussians arrive. So, Austrian (Hungarian) hussars next?

  9. This collection of figures sums up why so many folks model the armies at Waterloo. A stunning collection of military haberdashery!
