This is the initial list of Napoleonic British we've sent down to the designer for the Waterloo period. Further down the line we'll do some conversions into the stovepipe for the earlier period, but we'll need to get some other Waterloo additions done first, to expand the French ranges and also add some Prussians.
Big thanks to WeeWars (Michael!) who has kindly agreed to help us out with the lists/scheduling the Nap ranges going forward.

I was thinking about that the other day actually, so I'll see if we can get it done soon. Do you think it would be better with new crew as well?
Wow, Leon, really? Not sure new crew are needed, I would have thought they could be crewed by some of the standard artillery figures. But to get a model that looked the part would be amazing!
Cheers,
Mollinary

No worries, I'll pass that on to the designer now.

very nice :D 8), your a bad man Leon with all these new releases, my wallets is in severe pain ;D
any chance of having two standards for the British instead of the one

I don't think we'd get an extra sculpt done at this stage. With my limited Naps knowledge, I remember that the Brits carried two standards, so we can always supply the extra figures for people who want them. If there's a lot of demand, we could also add a separate pack of standards only, so 10 of them as a separate code?
What do people prefer? A separate pack of them for those wanting more, or a permanent change to the composition of the usual command pack, so there's double the number of standards and less of the other figures?
I would replace one of the infantry figures in the pack for a standard thats my preferrance
So you know in the Preferred Pose thread when I said I hated firing and kneeling figures? ...

... from my keyboard to the Dark Lord's ears.
Not that I'm complaining. Can't wait!
I will need two standards per unit but would be happy with either solution

I do this for my SYW battalions and just specify the extra standard bearer with the order ( when I remember!!)
Light Infantry
2 x Skirmishing (firing / other)
3 x Command advancing (Officer / Bugler / Standard)
I seem to recall reading that the light infantry regiments at Waterloo were still wearing the stovepipe shako.
Two standards for Brits is a must.
The Light Infantry was still in stovepipes, as was at least one line unit (without my references to hand) I believe it was the 28th.
Small issue of standards too, Fighting 15s does beautiful 28/18/15mm, but not 10mm. Wonder if you could get some done Leon?
The Saff Essex are a must!
This range will also be great for the war of 1812. ;)
I do believe you are right. The 28th was in stovepipes.
Presumably these will serve as Dutch-Belgians and Hanoverians too?
Dutch Belgians had their own uniform. Militia were in stovepipes, but French cut blue jackets and long grey trousers, no gaiters. The line was a mixed bag, including including the Nassau units which may have been in dark blue or the same dark green they wore in French service in the peninsula; some of the line was in white tropical gear as they were due to be shipped out to the West and East Indies.
Hanoverians were a mixture, their militia wore stovepipe, their line wore a mixture. This includes one line unit in surplus white tropical 1812 shakos!
Brunswickers were black, but had a squadron of uhlans attached to the infamous hussars, who had pale blue fronts. The infantry included the leibguard and both line units, plus jagers (Austrian pattern uniform and floppy hats)!
There is some debate about The Black Hussars as they appear both in the British Cavalry line, but also in the Brunswick order of battle. It is known they hadn't returned home by 1815, and maybe the Duke had raised a second regiment at home?

Yep, we'll be getting some more flags done for the range. Not sure where/how yet, but we'll figure it out!
Great news :D
Just wondering, for planning/budgetary purposes, when these little shiny fellows will be available?
and where do tell is Sharpey and Harper????
cant do the Peninsula without those 2 gennelmun............................. mutter, mutter, rummage, rummage, nope nothing here, DAMN!!!!

We're probably looking towards the summer, as we want to try and release as much of the range as possible in one go.
Thanks Leon.
Think that should fit in nicely with my "financial planning" !
I tend to use Maverick Models for my 6mm and some 10mm (Austrian SYW especially)...superb range and service...bit like Pendraken really in that regard ;)

For it is written in the "Annals of the Dark Lord", in the third part, where the ancient sage prophesies to the young visitor to the Pendraken stand ...
"When the corn crakes fly in harmony,
when the cowslips bloom as three,
when Techno has his hair cut,
releases there will be!"
"When the pike and perch are gathered,
when the jonquil parsley fits,
when Fenton clips his toenails,
there may be some Brits."
"When Centurions have rusted,
When Dave's back in the dress,
When Marie eats fine Welsh Rarebit,
You know we're in a mess."
"When totty find us comely,
when blood comes from the ground,
when Scotland win the World Cup,
Aztecs may be found."
There's another 106 verses ... shall I continue?
I think a small supplementary pack of standards would be the best option.
I just wish that the 'standing at the ready', 'firing' and 'kneeling at the ready' could have their own codes too. From the look of the 'standing at ready' masters, a whole load of OG figures could be seeking new employment if I can get enough without being swamped with other figures.
Yes, I know I can ask for a special order, (...again!), but it always seems a bit of a cheek to slow up production just to satisfy my preferences.
Lovely figures! :)

I chatted with Dave about this last night, and we think we'll just put extra standards in the command pack. So it would contain 12 x standards, 6 x officers, 6 x drummers, and 6 x sergeants.

There will be separate codes for those, so this lot will be split into three codes: March attack (2 poses), Firing (2 poses), and Kneeling (1 pose). As always, we can provide more/less of each pose at people's request.

This is in the resources section but no harm reposting it here for those curious as to which Hanovarian/Dutch/Belgian troops can be created using the British ranges. And of course the British, French and Prussians uniform.
