I have completed another Warlord AWI unit - this time I went with buff coloured facings, which as per the 1779 regulations, would make these boys from either New York or New Jersey!
We start off with a few shots of the unit in its entirety
Followed by close ups of each of the three stands
Musicians wore reversed colors as per the European standard of the day
I really do like the sculpting on the faces of these figures!
And finally, I have been building a few log defensive positions, primarily for an upcoming solo game based on the British attack on the American redoubt on Breeds Hill. I have about 6 lengths of these, and I think they will work well!
Thanks for dropping by - next up (if it's not an AAR on the aforementioned game), is likely to be the first of the Perry units - yes, I jumped one of them into the painting queue, just to see how they come out! So far, they are looking very nice.
Another superb looking unit. Look forward to seeing your views on the Perry plastics
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Scotty - should have the first Perry unit done this week, hopefully!
DeleteGreat stuff Keith, and the log defences look great as well. Have you assembled the Perry figures yet, and how did they compare to these?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lawrence - yes, I have 18 Perry assembled, 6 painted and based, the rest under coated. They match up pretty well with the Warlord figures, close enough that I have swapped a few spare arms from Warlord leftovers onto Perry figures, to add a bit of variety.
DeleteFine work, indeed! Not only are the facial details superb but I love the poses in various states of presenting arms.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jon, I too like the various poses. Unfortunately, the Perry's obviously decided marching figure were sufficient for this Era....you can have right or left shoulder arms and a couple carrying their musket more informally, but no one is firing or loading etc, which is a bit of a shame
DeleteAnother lovely unit added to your army, they look great, facial details on these are as good as I have seen.
ReplyDeleteCheers Donnie!
DeleteAnother excellent unit there Keith and I really do like the sculpting and poses of these miniatures, which look very realistic to me. Not beefed up figures here! It will be interesting to see how they look alongside the Perry's sculpts. Nice work on the barricades too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Steve, as motioned in my reply to Jon, the variety of poses is something I like too. The Perry figures should work pretty well alongside the Warlord, they are more or less the same height and build. Glad you like my simple log barricades too!
DeletePistol AND sword: those officers mean business!
ReplyDeleteWell,Ed, they are Americans trained by a German....what do you expect!
DeleteGreat looking Continental regulars, Keith. Always loved the sharp look of this uniform.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean, yes I agree, they look very smart...hard to believe they are Americans really 😆 just kidding!
DeleteI will probably do some if the alternative pre 1779 uniforms too, for variety.
Great looking figures Keith.
ReplyDeleteAs they are from New Yor or New Jersey shouldn't the officers be pointing their pistols side on gangster style? 😁
I think thats what we call an anachronism isn't it Ben....??
DeleteGreat job Kieth. Really turning them out quickly and nicely. The barricades will come in handy too. 😀
ReplyDeleteCheers Stew, I sm very happy with both the Jersey Boys AND the barricades!
DeleteBeautiful work sir!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Michal!
DeleteYour journey has a good start , very nice work! I will watch your progress in the hopes of getting any hints. BTW, I have an old copy of Lefferts (spelling) if you like black & white plates.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe and appreciate your kind offer too but I probably have an ample sufficiency of uniform information already 😀
DeleteVery nice Keith…
ReplyDeleteIt’s not normally like you to show someone in the Buff 🤣😱
All the best. Aly
Oh ho ho ho....tres drole, Aly!
DeleteGreat looking figures Keith.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Richard!
DeleteA great looking unit Keith, I do like the figures with the musket held high. Fab work!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Ray, some of the poses available with this set are very nice!
