You can certainly use British figures for most Hanoverian troops. Otherwise there will be something suitable under other countries' figures in the same ranges. There are several ranges available: Eureka, Old Glory and
FreiKorps all spring to mind. The Kronoskaf page which Pipers linked to is a really good resource. |

Hi Pipers, it all depends on how much you care about small details: Hanoverian infantry wore their swordbelts under their coats, and did away with most of the white or yellow lace on their coats early in the Seven Years' War. They wore their hair in a queue, Prussian style, rather than 'clubbed', and sported moustaches. Their grenadiers did not have belly boxes. And so on!
None of which is really essential in 15mm, if you are willing to ignore it. That said, I can recommend the Old Glory Hanoverians mentioned by 22nd Foot, although these are 18mm, so compatible with Eureka, but less so with Freikorps. |

Freikorps is like essex?
I love mix various companies.
Essex with blue Moon? Eureka with old Glory?

I only use Old Glory for my 15mm SYW armies. Essex and Blue Moon would not mix very well in the same unit, but may be ok for different units. If you are fighting in the Western theatre, you will need Hanoverians, Hessians, and Brunswickers. Link to some of my games with Hanoverians. link Eric |

Eureka and Old Glory are a pretty good match. One could have infantry from OG (cheaper) and cavalry from Eureka (better looking horses).
Essex are slightly smaller, but stocky enough, so the odd skirmisher unit or horse team wouldn't be out if place.
Freikorps are smaller again, if memory serves, so probably won't mix with those three.
Can't comment on Blue Moon, although they're supposed to work with OG. |

I have a large Allied army with its largest contingent being Hanoverians.All the figures are Old Glory 15s and they make a handsome force on the table. |

I do the period in 10mm Pendraken, the minis are great, they paint up very well and look good. Oh and they are a lot cheaper! Check my blog link |

I've always got my Old Glory 15mm figures under their discount scheme, which means they usually work out cheaper than 10mm. |
