My attempt at AWI

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

 About time I put something worthwhile on the forum instead of faescitous remarks.
Now it's everyone elses turn to pass comment! 

Thanks to everyone who has given me advice, esp Dazza and AndyMac.
These are my AWI American, from the Saratoga Campaign.

(As usual, awful photos, they look pretty good in real life, will try and get some in proper daylight once flags arrive, then they will do the figures credit!)

looking great!!! are you collecting both armies for Saratoga ? what rules are you going to use ?

Nicely done mad lemmey

Three of us at MKWS are using Black Powder.
Three of us decided to do AWI, Brian got the French (said they were the easiest to paint) and John grabbed the Brits, so,  I got the Americans   But I'm laughing now as i'm a long way ahead of my colleges  .
I went for the Saratoga campaign, partly due to it being a slightly less formal part of the uniforms , partly because of the 'Freeman's farm' scenario in BP. Not sure I how they will fit in with the French, oh well...

[nikharwood]

Sounds like a nice collaboration - how long until these see action then? 

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Well, the French, being nearly all white, are mostly done, just waiting on the new line Command pack (hint hint)! 
The Brits have painted their light infantry and one line unit, so will be a few months yet!
It all gives me more time to get more units finished (there are four units with hunting shirts already done, but the photos of them were even worse and I couldn't bear to post them, I'll try taking some outside later) 

Should meet the May deadline, a year late!
