Well, at least the figures from a box each of the plastic kits. May add some Militia and Hessians later on. As mentioned in the earlier post, the Continental units are supposed to be Green Mountain Boys, 2nd NH, 11th Mass. and Seth Warner's Regiment. The British are various units from the Saratoga Campaign - although the grenadiers probably didn't wear their bearskins.
The 25mm round bases and skirmish trays are from Litko.
Need to add 3 more figures to one of the British units, but the plan is to use them in Rebels and Patriots - as I just ordered a copy of the rules. Several gaming buddies here play them all the time and they invited me to join in.
Glad to have finally gotten around to painting these figures as they were glued together and primed since last summer. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the post; and best wishes to you all.
Oh, beautiful looking collection!
ReplyDeleteWell done sir!
Thank you so much, Michal. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteThey look great Dean! You do seem to "finish" more projects than the average gamer, including myself. Perhaps its because your projects are not quite so grandiose as many, and you manage to avoid too much "scope creep"!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Keith. I think I try to plan projects with an expected result/time of completion. I've also simplified my painting - that is, mostly block painting and applying stain; only highlighting certain areas afterwards. And, yes, many of these projects are for smaller/skirmish games - so not too many figures to begin with. Of course, more can always be added later. In fact, I just ordered a sprue each of Warlord Games/former-Wargames Factory Hessians and Militia. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteA nice force, we’ve enjoyed the rules for AWI, not sure any projects are “complete” though !
ReplyDeleteThanks, Matt! Yes, looking forward to playing the rules. I've played Lion Rampant a lot, so some of the core rules should be the same. Also, I just ordered a few Wargames Factory Hessians and Militia - so yes, projects are never really "complete". Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteOh, those are fantastic, Dean, they turned out great!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Markus! Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteGreat looking collection. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! Best regards, Dean
DeleteThey look great altogether Dean. I do like the American's in brown coats, they really look cool.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ray! From what I understand, brown was a pretty common coat color for the Continental army; probably more than blue. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteNice looking, as always!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! Warm regards, Dean
DeleteThose came out nice. I have some of those trays and there very handy to have when you need to remove figures but still want to push a unit around without having to move them individually. I hope you like Rebels and Patriot rules.
ReplyDeleteCheers

Thanks a lot, Kevin. I'm sure R&P will work great - although I haven't played Lion Rampant in a long time, I recall it's a good set of rules - similar to R&P? Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteCheck out Jay’s R&P game he posted today. He might be more knowledgeable about comparison.

Great looking AWI Dean! Rebels and Patriots is fun for sure.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mike! I was trying to stick with Black Powder, as I've played it more often, but Rebels & Patriots would be better for smaller, skirmish games. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteBrilliant work Dean! Amazing stuff all around.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Kuan! Kind regards, Dean
DeleteBlink and you've started and finished a project! They look great!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks a lot, Iain. Definitely rushed through this one. As they're based individually, figured I could always add more details if needed (but probably won't). Warmest regards, Dean
