3mm Battle of Quatre Bras - British Guards Division

Major-General George Cooke's British I Corps, First Division consisting of both Guards Brigades.  Two battalions of the First Foot Guards, the second battalion of the Third Foot Guards, and a battalion of Coldstream Guards. Also have some British line battalions in the back.  To the far back right is an attempt at 3mm Highlanders using the Pico Armor Grenadiers with bearskins pack.

I decided to go against the documentation and paint the Guards pants white instead of Grey so they would stand out better in the field.  Found some pretty good sources that say they weren't equipped with white trousers until after the battle, contradicting what I had previously believed.
