Yes, danrell, you've got some serious talent there
Nice unit. Can anyone d/l it now? It looks like it's approved.
danrell - Can I get you to start following my sig and update your new units into that thread? I've been catching the ones I remember and adding you to the updates, but I'd rather see them there if possible. Thanks.

Yep. It can be downloaded.
Such a hard choice: keep the English UU-graphic ingame or replace it with this one?
Give them a second or put this one and the other in a group together.

I would use this as the UU, as it's more in-line with the time period of the other Riflemen. Then you can use the Redcoat model as a Musket Infantry or something in between Riflemen and Musketmen.
Fantastic unit btw!

Fantastic work. But wasn't this more of a ceremonial uniform ?

Very very nice. Good work 
It is today, yes (obviously!), but in it's day they were the elite guard of the army. I think.

In BTS set this model as the <MODERN> model for the redcoat, then you get the origional redcoat for a while, updating to this model for a bit before you upgrade all your units to infantry.
Works for me anyway
True. But they had a slightly different looking uniform. They would normally have more white pants. I believe they would also have long stripes on their uniform, set in sets of 1 for the first regiment, 2 for the second, and so on. Also, their hat would not be that tall. Depending on the campaign and situation, they might have a hat similar to that. But most of the time it would not be like that.

Yes, that hat was more ceremonial adopted after Waterloo I think for the Foot Guards. They took it "from" Napoleon's Old Guard who wore bearskins and they shattered in a couple volleys... The main hat from that era (1830's on) would be the Bell Top Shako, but I don't know about the Foot Guards..
And yes, they wore white pants, but I am not exactly sure when they switched to black. I know that at Fort Henry, Kingston, Ontario Canada the garrison wore black pants, and it was from the '30's I think. They also wore a shako similar to the default riflemans. I actually reskinned the riflemen to match that uniform, but I am not too sure how widespread the features were (Seeing as normally in the colonial setting the uniforms were a little outdated as a combination of Bureaucratic Red tape and distants delayed delivery of the uniforms).

Actually, the shako was the main headgear even at waterloo. I'm not sure about the Guards, but I know most of the infantry used it. Even after they took the bearskins from the Old Guard, it still wouldn't be the size of the ceremonial ones nowadays.

On the shakos: Yes it was, but there was a few different styles. The Stovepipe used from the late 1700's to and during the Napoleonic wars (Mostly in the Peninsula) there was the Wellington/Waterloo/Belgic used a lot during the war Vs Napoleon, and there was the Belltop, use by Hussars and such, and eventually adopted by the infantry.
And about the size of the bearskin: As I said I do not really know, though in this cool little book I have on the British and Commonwealth units from the 1720's-1850's the Foot Guards had pretty big bearskins.. Now I do now know if they were the combat used ones, I guess I could try to find some from pictures Crimea period..
Oh, just to clarify, they didn't actually take the Bearskins from the heads of the Dead Guard, the adopted it as I think it was the Scot's Grays or one of the other in Ponsonby's Brigade adopted the French Eagle they captured as there battle flag..
Edit: Ah yes, I remember now. They went back to a double peaked stovepipe..
These bearskins here seem pretty big..
