AWI Guilford Courthouse Progress: Part 3

Another quick update today as the march towards Guilford Courthouse (and Breed's Hill) continues. More crown forces join the fray. All 28mm Perry Miniatures.

British artillery. Used a Bavarian cornflower blue (Foundry paints) on the guns here ... a little darker than I wanted, but I'm still happy with it.



I have a command stand for my British grenadiers so that when I take the grenadier companies out of the foot regiments I can form a nice converged grenadier unit with a command stand.


Two pictures here of the 38th foot.  This unit is primarily for Breed's Hill and not Guilford Courthouse, but I will need to sub in two units to cover the guard units so I'll be reusing some units from Breed's Hill for Guilford Courthouse.



Two pictures here of the 43rd foot. Likewise, this unit is primarily for Breed's Hill and not Guilford Courthouse, but I will need to sub in two units to cover the guard units so I'll be reusing some units from Breed's Hill for Guilford Courthouse.



No battle is complete without casualties!  British, American (both continental and militia) and Hessian casualties below.



I'm still trucking along ... two more British foot units coming up very soon ... along with some British Legion cavalry and Hessian Jagers.

  1. Beautiful work and looking forward to seeing the collection in play, just reassure me, think I have read previously, that you don’t paint all these yourself , otherwise I might have to pack in !

    1. To be fair, most of the AWI figures have been painted for a while and sitting on raw bases.

      But it takes a village. I absolutely farm out various chunks,but I'm very picky about painters as they need to match my painting style since it is a mix.

      I'd have to quit my job to get my projects done without some hired help :-)

    1. Casualties add that extra layer, looking forward to inflicting more than I take though :-) Thanks Phil!

  4. I like them, and more importantly when I clicked on the pictures they were large enough to see them pop. Was this with your hand held camera or iphone? Great eye candy show!

    Cheers

    1. Thx. Should have most of the crown forces done this weekend, and off this next week so hitting the American force hard.
