1st Nassau

The bag of Old Glory Nassau figures I got in December allowed me to create two units for Waterloo.  This is the second one, which I've painted as the 1st Nassau, not that there was a lot of difference between the two regiments.





As usual these days with my Napoleonics, the flag is printed from the warflags site.

    1. Thanks Phil. They are one of my favourite units, ever since I saw Plate 42, 43 and 44 in the Philip Haythornthwaite book "Uniforms of Waterloo". It has just taken me 40 years to get around to making them.

  2. During the good old days late 1970's I had a brigade of Nassau, all 25mm Minifigs and I really enjoyed painting the Grenadier figures. I know what you are saying regarding to Haythornthwaite Uniforms of Waterloo book, a huge influence on me to buy and paint 25mm figures....

  4. A fine looking body of men, sir! The dear old Warflags site has I think been a boon to war gamers - certainly to me. It is a pity the site hasn't been updated these ten years and more...
