The Last of the Warlord Plastic AWI Figures

 This is the final unit created from the Warlord Army Starter Box Set I purchased a few months back - still two more Perry units under action plus another two or three on order from the UK - once they are all done, that might be it for my AWI efforts!

I chose to use the uncocked or brimmed hat heads for this unit, and consulting the handy - dandy Perry uniform guide, I settled on the Second New York Regiment:

The 2nd New York Regiment was authorized on May 25, 1775, and formed at Albany from June 28 to August 4 for service with the Continental Army under the command of Colonel Goose Van Schaick. The enlistments of the first establishment ended on December 31, 1775.

The second establishment of the regiment was authorized on January 19, 1776

The regiment saw action in the Invasion of Canada, Battle of Valcour Island, Battle of Saratoga, Battle of Monmouth, the Sullivan Expedition and the Battle of Yorktown. The regiment was furloughed, June 2, 1783, at Newburgh, New York and disbanded November 15, 1783.

And here they are:

Blue, faced dark green, coats, with buckskin waistcoats and breeches.

Back to the firing line figures for this unit, thankfully!

As in the previous unit, a lack of parts precluded a musician or standard bearer (I realised, too late, that I could probably have used a spare flagpole and arms from the Perry leftovers - never mind!) I did use a spare NCO right arm on the figure to the left of the officer, above.

I have enjoyed painting up these Warlord figures and think they look pretty good, as well as matching up quite well with their Perry colleagues - I hope you like this last hurrah, I doubt I will be doing any more of them, although never say never, as all wargamers know!

Thanks for dropping by - I am off to a game on Friday and then another on Sunday, all things going to plan, so AAR's should be the order of the day for my next two posts - see you again then!
