Wargames Atlantic AWI British Grenadiers

Finished painting and based them on 25mm GW-style bases for skirmish gaming. I didn't spend too much time on details like the plates on the fur caps. Although there is some detail on the plates, they were hard to make out when painting. The shoulder wings were easier to make out and take to painting well.

As noted in the earlier post, they're painted in groups of 10 with different colored facings - green, yellow, and blue - all common colors for various units in the AWI. If they're used with Rebels and Patriots, a couple more figures per unit would be added - probably an officer or NCO and musician. However, that might be down the road a bit, as this was mainly a project to try out the figures.

They are a little bulkier than Perry plastics from their AWI range, but would match up well enough. The main difference is the Perry British plastics are in more of a campaign uniform without backpacks.

I went with a reddish brown color for the backpacks - I saw an old thread on TMP discussing this. Supposedly the canvas packs were painted for weather proofing, and this color may have been used. Incidentally, I just read somewhere that straps weren't used on the rear of the packs during this period. Oh well. 

Just a quick project as I wanted to see these figures first hand. Have a game day in a few days where I'll be hosting the Lion Gate assault game. Will update with a post game review when done. Until then, wishing you all the best.
