As the Early Imperial Romans begin to leave the painting table their space is quickly take up by the above figures from AB Miniatures; British Line Infantry for a small 1812 -15 project involving the following regiments:
- King's German Legion 5th Line Infantry Battalion
- King's German Legion 8th Line Infantry Battalion
- King's German Legion 2nd Light Infantry Battalion
- British 95th Rifles Battalion
- 42nd Highlander Infantry Battalion (the Black Watch)
The picture above shows the start of the 5th Line Battalion, based on 24 figures per battalion, the same basing model will be used for the other battalions as they progress. In time a several squadrons of cavalry and a small artillery force will be added to round this out.
The strange thing about this project is it's something that was never planned and but for lock down and an interest in "Wellington's Crisis" moment at La Sainte Haye it would never be here.
Watch out for future updates for this...
Cheers for now

A new project? Terrific! AB Napoleonics are fab but I find them harder to paint than, say, Old Glory.
Harder on your wallet too Jonathan, however, I do like the figures and am only adding when needed with this project.
