We've had painted pics of these on the website for a while now, but we've taken new photos so that they match up with our other new painted website images.  These are all the excellent work of Andy Mac's paintbrush (as well as Clib's sculpting of course!)

Very nice indeed. I imagine some people will have those doing duty as SYW Prussians.

The painting or the figures?  The only thing I can see is that maybe the guy on the right here:



... belongs in the marching code and not the standing? 

The figures were all labelled with their codes when they were originally painted, so I'd need to check the mould as well.

Rightmost figure belongs in AWG 2. He's marching and the others are standing (which might not be completely apparent from the image). The give away though is that he is in overall trousers (therefore a Brunswicker) and the Hessians are in gaiters. That's not a hard and fast distinction in reality, but one I invoked when sculpting.
Might need a bit of swapping in photoshop.

As Clib said. For me it was obvious.
I pointed it because it would confuse customers.

Knowing little about the AWI I was completely oblivious to it. It's a war that has never gripped my imagination at all - I find the FIW far more intriguing.

While we are at it, it looks like a fusilier NCO has photobombed AWG11.
