British Sprues from the Epic Waterloo series by Warlord Games

  1. Undercoat with a Zenithal and drybrush with Off White
  2. British Infantry - British red coats are Blood Angels Red pants are Basilicanum Grey Boots, backpacks, Shako hats are Black Templar Hair is Aggaros Dunes , Wyldwood , Gore-grunta Fur in order then continue with the Gore-grunta Fur for the weapons. Metals are Brass and Silver The tops of the backpacks can get tidied up with a Light Gray
  3. British Cannons: The wood of the cannon is Greyish Blue / WWI French Uniform Base -75- The cannon itself is Brass Uniforms are Ultramarine Blue for the tunic and Blood Angels Red for the trim everything else is as the infantry.
  4. 95 Rifles: Tunics are Dark Angels Green , the pants can be the same as the tunics or the same as the British Infantry or a mix. For the water canteen Ducat Blue
  5. Wash everything lightly in Agrax Earthshade
  6. Red gets highlighted with Evil Sunz Scarlet Blue with Macragge Blue green with Dark Green Straps get Bold Titanium White Flesh gets Basic Skin Tone
  7. Battalion specific colours - The cuffs, shoulders, collar, and plume all have different colours depending on the battalion. Check https://centjours.mont-saint-jean.com/unitesUK.php and https://centjours.mont-saint-jean.com/unitesKG.php and the 'Infanterie de Ligne' section. Choose the Battallion and then select Uniforme'. Along the top of the page it has 'compagnies du centre (x8)' Centre companies, 'compagnie de grenadiers (x1)' Grenadiers, 'compagnie légère (x1)' Light Company and 'état-major' General Staff. For the models look for the three soldiers on the side with the slightly bigger shoulders. The two strips without those shoulders are your Centre Companies one of which includes your 'General Staff', the ones with three soldiers with bigger shoulders on their right are 'Grenadiers' and the ones with the shoulder on their left are the 'Light Company'. For example, the King's German Legion have cuffs, shoulders, and collar as blue (I only bother painting the cuffs). The plumes are half white (top) half red (bottom). For the Light Company the plumes are green (also the braid on the helmet is green) and the Grenadiers plumes are just white. The 'General Staff' have gold for the hemet braid and white gloves.
  8. Base of the strip gets Dark Earth then once two strips are ready, attach to the base. Use Vallejo Diorama Fx Dark Earth 26.218 to fill in between the strips and around them to remove the sharp edges. Paint in Dark Earth but anything missed will still look fine, then stipple in some Olive Green as grass.
