AWI Continental Militia

The first three of five Continental militia units were completed last weekend, to join the already completed eleven Line regiments. These were a lot more fiddly to paint than the Line however and I used around forty different shades across each unit to try to give them a less regular appearance:

I styled one of the units after Stark's New Hampshire militia, mainly because that was one of the specific militia flag packs available from GMB:

There are essentially only twelve different poses, six in the command pack and six in the firing line, but it was possible to mix these up a bit to provide some variety:

There was also a Chester County Militia flag available, so the choice for the second regiment was easy:

While I used a generic militia flag for the third unit, the Massachusetts 1st Regiment of militia:

These are quite large units with two at thirty figures and one with twenty-eight, large enough to cover most British Grenadier and Sharp Practice scenarios, so represent another eighty-eight figures completed in total:

Two more militia units to go, along with some rifle-armed skirmishers, six artillery pieces and some mounted staff. The end of the project is definitely now in sight.
