59th (2nd Nottinghamshire) Regiment of Foot

Some Englishmen from my one of my home county regiments are the third unit for the Anglo-allied forces for my Hundred Days project.

Like the previous two KGL units all the figures are from the Perry Miniatures Plastic Napoleonic British Line Infantry box set.

The standards are again from Victrix, and if you browse their catalog you can likely predict what my upcoming units for the Anglo-allied contingent are going to be from this flag sheet.


I tested out a new colour palette for the overall trousers using a base-coat of Neutral Grey rather than Basalt Grey, I think I prefer the Basalt Grey that I did on the KGL, but I'm not unhappy with how these came out.

In another test of something new, the packs are done in Black rather than from a base of Chocolate Brown.

Although this unit was in Belgium for the campaign it took no part in the battles of either Quatre Bras or Waterloo, being a part of 4th Division that was securing the right flank for the latter. 

Some close-ups of a few of the bases.




On deck at the moment is another battalion of English foot and a detachment from the 95th Rifles to be added to the Anglo-allied forces. I'll probably add a battery of 9lb guns after that then I suppose I should start on some light dragoons.
