Hanoverian regimental gun

The Hanoverian army is currently recruiting its 3rd regiment IR1a Von Scheither. ( sounds a bit like a German toilet, hopefully not pronounced that way).
The dark green facings are very attractive contrasting with the red tunic and straw colour breeches.


I have also converted a Hanoverian regimental gun, but I have used artillery figures, rather than infantry, based on the Stephen Summerfield book, Hanoverian Army of the Seven years War. The light blue tunics with red facings really stand out. This set is based on the Austrian btn gunners recently converted by John R and on his AMG blog. He has made a very nice and an unusual set, and I fancied something similar, the result is below. If you don’t already read John’s blog then you need to start. Every day there is something new and inspirational to wet the appetite.

  2. Yes, a hidden gem. I had no idea that the Hanoverians could be so enjoyable to create. More variation than the Brits.
