Pre-Order: Plastic Napoleonic British Line Infantry
Our latest plastic boxed sets take us back to the Napoleonic
Wars! We are now adding two British Line Infantry sets to our existing French (http://store.warlordgames.com/collections/napoleonic-french) and Russian (http://store.warlordgames.com/collections/napoleonic-russians) plastic ranges…
Available for pre-orders from today are Peninsular War British Line Infantry and Waterloo British Line Infantry – ready to march into battle and crush the tyrant Bonaparte’s armies!

Artist Peter Dennis has once again worked his magic with both box
covers as the 45th (Sherwood Foresters) regiment of foot marches under
the beating sun of the Iberian Peninsular whilst on the rain-sodden
fields at Waterloo the 2nd Royal Scots head into battle under overcast
skies.

As you can see, a painted regiment wearing trademark stovepipe shakos
is a glorious sight – a sight which no red-blooded Englishmen should be
able to resist! We also expect them to appeal to those of a foreign
persuasion too…
Each box contains 36 miniatures – 30 plastic line infantry troopers,
plus a metal command group of an officer, a sergeant (with separate arms
for wielding cane or spontoon, as you prefer), a pioneer, a drummer and
two ensigns. There are also a selection of full colour paper flags
included for you to complete your companies in style.

Quick to Build
These great new sets are designed to be quick to assemble, being just
3 parts – head, backpack and body – after all you need plenty of men
for Napoleonic battles so you don’t want to spend hours and hours before
you even pick up a paint brush let lone see them on the tabletop!

Donning the more modern Belgic shako, the
Waterloo campaign troops would generally wear grey trousers rather than
the white seen during the Peninsular campaign

Flank Companies
We’ve given one in five men ‘swallow’s nest’ epaulettes, denoting
them as members of the flank companies – either Light Companies or
Grenadiers. There are also spare epaulettes that you can use to vary the
pose in your flank companies. Alternatively, the epaulettes are easy to
pare off with a scalpel if you want every man to be in the centre
company.
