Landwehr Battalion Hildesheim

My second battalion of Hanaoverian Landwehr of the year is Landwehr Battalion Hildesheim, of the 5th Hanoverian Brigade of Picton's 5th Division at the Battle of Waterloo.

Like the previous unit, I made this unit up by mixing a box each of Warlord Games Waterloo British line and Late Hanoverian Infantry, I prefer the mix of shako and field cap. 

As usual, the standards are from GMB Designs. It looks like I need a little touch up on the trim of the regimental.

I tried a slightly new technique on these and did not actually paint the front of the coats red, instead painted the fronts black to make the white "pop" a bit more. It also cuts quite a bit of time from the painting process.

This now brings me up to four battalions of Hanoverian Landwehr and lets me field a good sized brigade.

I've bought some KGL Light Infantry on deck this week, makes a change from redcoats.
