Hi all,
I have just recently bought the Waterloo Starter kit second addition and was wondering if anyone had any painting guides for this or where I can get some?
The kit consists of:
British Line Infantry (Covered Shakos)
French Line Infantry (In great coats)
Chausser a Cheval
Royal Artillery cannon
French and British foot commanders

British line Infantry – black shakos, dark red tunics with (colour -dependant on regiment, a number of regiments had yellow and is a nice contrast to the red coat ) facings, white /grey trousers, white straps with light brown packs and ammo case on the belt, black shoes and waiste belt, grey roll on top of the packs
French Line Infantry – black shakos /grey covers, grey great coats, white/grey trousers or brown (mix it up..), white straps with light brown packs and ammo case on the belt, black shoes and waiste belt,
Chasser a cheval – black head-dress, green tunics and trousers with a yellow or red piping
royal Artillery crew – black head-dress (*black crests) with white plumes, dark blue/black tunics with yellow/gold lace, grey trousers
commanders – as infantry (dark/navy blue tunic for the frenchmen)
guns – wood & dull metal grey
for more detailed approach google with which colour palatee you have (ie army painter, warlord paint set etc)

Thank you for this, I spoke to someone on Facebook and they sent me a link to a website that had the full Waterloo order of battle with uniform guides for each regiment.

i don’t speak French, but if you clip on units and the national flag you want on the screen after that and select say Infantry de ligne it will give you a list. Click the unit you want and the uniforms. Example attached.
