Warlord Games is ready to unleash Heavy British Cavalry and the Highlanders onto the European Battlefields. Let’s see what is coming!
Coming later this month, three new kits for the Black Powder series will be released. These British forces kits will have 13-14 cavalry units and 24 miniatures, multi-part plastics and metal pieces, and can be adapted for any Black Powder campaign. Unfortunately, no prices have been made available.
British Household Brigade Cavalry
The British Household Brigade Cavalry or the 1st Cavalry Brigade – was arguably Britain’s finest unit of cavalry. Impatient due to seeing little action in the Peninsular war and tired of parades, the Household Brigade was only too pleased to be on the field at Waterloo to show what these gentlemen could do.
British Union Brigade Cavalry
During the Hundred Days campaign of 1815, it was the 2nd British heavy cavalry brigade – made up of three elite heavy dragoon regiments – that smashed the enormous attack columns of d’Erlon’s corps in the opening moves at Waterloo, putting to flight, capturing or killing thousands of French infantry.
Highlander Regiment
Great Britain had long appreciated the martial prowess of the Scottish soldier and more so the fierce Highlanders. They hailed from a beautiful, yet often bleak, country that could not offer great prospects for a young man. They were reputed to have run alongside the famous Scots Greys cavalry charge at Waterloo, clinging to tails and stirrups to carry themselves into the enemy faster – Scotland forever!
The British Heavy Cavalry kits and the Highlander Regiment kit will be available in store on June 17th.
