Brunswick Leib


I finally finished the Leib Battalion. For those of you viewing the blog for the first time, I openly claim to be an amateur painter. I like the history behind these guys. They fought with the Prussians during the opening battles of Napoleon's Prussian Campaign. After the Prussians were defeated by Napoleon, the Duke of Brunswick took with him his regiments, this is one of them, and they escaped to the Coast and were picked up by the British. They fought for the British in the Peninsular Campaign, and then at Waterloo. I have already started the Avante Garde, and have done the black uni's again. If I get some more sets I will do the gray uni's and do a Line regiment instead of the Leib again.
