quick note on the Rifle officer, the band on his hat should be Rifle green, the same shade as his uniform, only the sash on his waist should be red,
Also, according to Mike Chappel, the blue on the 5th's uniforms should be a Navy blue, and the trousers of every member of the KGL should be light grey, Mike Chappel is not the most reliable source though, so if you have something from people like Brendan Simms, or a first hand account, go with that instead
Speaking of Simms, i know the farm model is pre-made and you just gotta glue it together, however a fair few large holes were punched into the roof of the main house for more Riflemen to be able to shoot at once,
Great to see you haven't made the mistake of having the KGL Represented as Redcoated linesmen speaking English to the 95th,
And don't forget the 5th's Line Companies would never defend the farm itself, their task was to provide cover for the withdrawing 1st, 2nd, 5thL, 95th, and Luneburg infantry that had to run away, and then got cut down for their trouble, Prince of Orange did nothing wrong, nor did Alten, the 5th's orders made perfect sense. the 8th did get sent forward to support the Light battalions earlier in the day though, so if you want some line representation that isn't the Feldbattalion von Luneburg, you can include a handful of 8th
overall veeeeri nice, and have a photo of my KGL Officer I painted up earlier in the year, i might improve it a bit after looking at all these painted models
BattlePlayer:
Thank you kindly for explaining all that - I use this resource for uniform colours, its interesting because the British all had slightly different shades of London Grey like a mid Grey, but interesting what you said about the 8th Line KGL guess they can be included as there uniform is identical to that of the 5th Line.
