The weekend past saw me finish the last three Continental foot units in the form of two more militia regiments, complementing the three militia regiments already completed, and a unit of skirmish figures:
First up is a twenty-eight figure militia unit which I have styled as Hobart's Regiment:
The figures are exactly the same as the other four militia regiments, with six command and six firing line poses which I have again painted in predominantly greys and browns:
The last militia regiment is the Albany County militia comprised of 22 figures, the smallest of the five:
carrying a red militia flag:
The last Continental foot contingent is a unit of thirty-two skirmishers which can be separated and deployed as needed. These are primarily made up from the two Perry skirmishing riflemen packs but I also threw in a few spare line figures for good measure:
Outstanding, Lawrence! This collection now be massively sized. When will we see them out in battle?
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan. Once I have finished the Continentals we have a few games of Sharp Practice bookmarked for later in the year and I am sorting out some space in one of the spare rooms downstairs to give British Grenadier a go.
DeleteA lot of work with great results Lawrence! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil. I'm reaching the point where I'm ready to get stuck back into some 15mm projects.
DeleteGood to know you are re-starting some of your 15mm painting projects.
DeleteYes, I have a few lined up and am looking forward to the change of pace.
DeleteSplendid muted looking troops, lovely finish!

Cheers Iain, I was deliberately trying to keep the colours muted so I'm glad that came across.
Deleteabsolutely gorgeous! Keep it up. It's always exciting when the end of a project loams near, almost as good as actually finishing and definitely more exciting than the beginning. 😁
ReplyDeleteCheers Stew. It is quite satisfying when you can see the end in sight, and it provides that little extra motivation to keep going.
DeleteSome beautiful brushwork Lawrence. I'm loving your AWI, it's quite sad that it's nearly over.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray. Hopefully any sadness I feel will be alleviated when I finally get them on a table, and then no doubt I'll find I'm missing some stuff that I'll need to add.
DeleteLovely looking units Lawrence...must be time for a parade!
ReplyDeleteI didn't miss your concealed joke though that the end of the project is in sight!
Thanks, and I'll get them out on parade once I've sorted out a spare room and given myself enough space to put a table up that is big enough. Hopefully only a few weeks away now.
DeleteFabulous painting Lawrence. The whole collection will look amazing arrayed for battle.
ReplyDeleteThanks Richard. Hopefully there are enough options now to cover most potential scenarios.
DeleteThey look fantastic Lawrence...I must get back to my AWI Americans at some point...I have three or four units of assembled plastic figures still to paint!
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith. I'm so glad I have the last of my plastic figures behind me as I found the assembly quite painful.
DeleteWow, again. At the rate that you paint you'll have those few done in 'seconds'. Then a grand parade and a game?!😀
ReplyDeleteBest wishes, James
Thanks James, and yes to both a parade and a game. I'm probably still a month to six weeks away by my estimation.
DeleteWonderful looking units Lawrence, beautifully painted! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark, it was a good feeling to complete the last of the foot.
