March Into Battle With The Chosen Men Of Black Powder
August 29, 2014 by brennon
Warlord Games have found a unit of veterans you might need for your Black Powder gaming. See what you think of the superb and utterly awesome Chosen Men - British 95th Rifles.
There were some of the most formidable men at Wellington's disposal and could be counted on in a pinch at any battle regardless of the enemy. These chaps forwent the typical red uniform of the British soldier in favour of a green one that earned them the nickname the 'Sweeps' or 'Grasshoppers' from the French.
Each of them was armed with the powerful Baker rifle and they also had fantastically brutal looking sword bayonets for sticking their enemies. If you're looking for some men (and a dog) to inspire your troops on the battlefield you can't go far wrong with these folks.
Will you get these lads?

Hopefully they will make a sergeant Harper with a multi barrelled gun.
Ooh I like these … and my wishlist on Warlord’s site grows ever more ridiculous.
Here’s forty shillings on the drum
To those who volunteer to come,
To ‘list and fight the foe today
Over the Hills and far away.
I spent alot of my childhood watching the first two Sharpe films…need to build the 95th with converted chosen men^^
Was so hoping for plastic rifles. Got box full of metal. Will still get these but perrys won’t do plastic as already done the small sprue of 2 rifles. Only leaves Victrix left to hopefully do plastic.
I love these models, it would be pretty cool if Warlord could get a license to create the chosen men from the TV films off of the ’90s.
I think Sharpe was the only thing Sean bean didn’t die in 🙂
Their is still time he never did all the books?
The Fighting 95th, first in and last out 🙂
