Wrapping up my AWI painting for a while are these extra figures.
First some British casualty figures
Considerable variety.
Not to be left out, some Patriot ones, too.
Both sets are byPerry.
"I ain't dead yet!"
Perry Camp scene
Soup's on!
Women and children.
A variety of ages and stations.
Watch out for Indians!
Colonial civilian men.
Once again, different classes.
With these done, I have painted 850 AWI figures in the past 12 months.
I still have some Brigade games civilians, canoes and canoeists, a few more Patriot infantry and artillery, British artillery, a few more Indians, and a French force to do for this project. However, I will likely take a break and go back to some Napoleonic figures, and then pick up again with the remaining AWI stuff in early 2027.
Excellent work - love the hairdresser
ReplyDeleteThanks; I am especially fond of that one, too!
DeleteThese are lovely little figures, although I always thought the British casualty throwing his rifle looks more like he is dancing than suffering. Great work on these Peter.
ReplyDeletePerhaps heading towards the Rapture or an All Hallows Eve revel a la The Outlander? :-)
DeleteI like the one carrying his comrade on his back.
ReplyDeleteYou are a really fast painter I must say. Any Swedish napoleonics at Your painting desk?
No Napoleonic Swedes on the painting desk, just the 250 or so Minifigs that I painted about 30 years ago. I must confess to being tempted to add a unit of Norsk Ski troops from the Napoleonic Wars!
DeleteSteve Barber Models have made some pretty cool Norwegian ski troops. Perry brothers are supplying Danish and Norwegian troops to back them up. Some really nice Danish militia in civilian shirts and cloggs.
ReplyDeleteHmm, thanks for the reminder about Steve Barber and the Norwegian Ski trooper models; I will have to order enough for a unit at some point!
DeleteVery nice additions to your project, the casualty markers look great and loads of figures to make some really good vignettes. There are some really nice miniatures in this post.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words, Donnie!
DeleteLovely looking casualties and civilians, always useful to have around!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks, Iain. yes useful as markers, table dressing, etc.!
DeleteAn eclectic mix of very nice figures indeed.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gary!
ReplyDeleteSuperb.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like them, Richard!
DeleteNice work on these Peter - I too have all those AWI civilians - you can never have too many! Your mention of Brigade Games canoes is intriguing - I have a long held, on again/off again plan to get the canoe with Alice and Cora of Last of the Mohicans fame from the Brigade range!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Keith! The canoes (and Bateaux) are for the 1777 "Saratoga" Campaign in a Day event which will take place next year, almost exactly 250 years after the events.
DeleteHi Peter,
ReplyDelete850 figures in a year is an incredible achievement—cracking effort! These Perry civilians and casualties look top-class and will make brilliant table dressing and markers. Enjoy the change of pace with the Napoleonics!
All the best, Andy
Thanks, Andy. Yep, that's pretty much my maximum possible output for a year (and I also did quite a bit of AWI terrain, too).
DeleteBlimey, terrain as well?! That makes the 850-figure mark even more impressive.
DeleteI can’t tackle painting full armies anymore due to ongoing health issues, but I do love getting stuck into painting scenery myself. There’s something immensely satisfying about building up the table! Enjoy the well-earned break with the Napoleonics.
All the best, Andy
Sorry to hear that about painting armies, but the right terrain really "sets the place" on the tabletop, right?!
DeleteSpot on, Peter! It completely transforms the game when the table looks like a real piece of countryside rather than just a green blanket. There's nothing quite like laying out roads, fields, and buildings to bring the whole scenario to life.
DeleteAll the best, Andy
Absolutely, Andy!
