2nd Battalion, Kings German Legion Light Infantry

 


Back onto dry land for my latest update with a unit of Kings German Legion Light Infantry for the Hundred Days Campaign.


The figures are all from the Brigade Games range and although a little slight are lovely models and really do take paint well.



I've got a load more of these in the backlog and think that I ought to add another base with muskets to the group to bring them up to six stands.




The unit has mixed musket and rifle armed composition two of the five bases are armed with Baker rifles.


One of the rifle bases also has a bugler.





Originally I planned to put the Officers and NCO's on the same stands as the infantry, but instead took the option of mounting them separately as I think that the KGL Lights will make a great force for Sharpe Practice.



I've got another sergeant and officer on deck along with the three figures to make up a sixth base and a group each armed with rifles and muskets in looser order of two to a base.

    Great looking KGL Lights, Scrivs. Interesting that you noted they were a bit slight in build. Haven't seen these in person before, so nice to know.

      Thank you Dean.
      They look OK next to Perrys, but I think they look a bit malnourished next to, for example the chunkier Warlord figures

    Excellent work, Paul! While the Brigade Games' figures are more svelte, the infantry look fine alongside Front Rank. The cavalry are much smaller to my eye.

      Thanks Jonathan.
      I've not put the 1st Dragoons out on the table yet so have not compared to the existing Perry and Warlord models

    Super job on those, clever thinking on basing the officers etc. separately for Sharp Practice.

    Paul,
    I have always liked the Brigade Range of figures and I'm getting ready to do some of their FIW. Great painting of the KGL Lights.

      Thanks Neil, I do really like the range too, if they did some 100 days Anglo-allied infantry I'd get a load of them too, sadly only in stovepipes

    Great work Paul, you gotta love those dark green uniforms. The moustaches and bayonets really make the stand out from the 95th

    Lovely looking troops... very businesslike in their somber uniforms.

    All the best. Aly

      Thank you Aly, hopefully that farmyard will get defended with Teutonic efficiency :)
