So after more than 2 months of ignoring the family, locking myself in the games room, drinking copious amounts of alcohol and swearing a lot..... I have finally finished all the militia units for Guilford Courthouse. Hurrah !

First Line :

Warren County Militia



Franklin County Militia



Linton's Regiment



Caswell County Militia



Granville County Militia (in skirmish order)



Orange County Militia



Second Line:

Colonel Randolph's Militia Regiment



Colonel Holcombe's Militia Regiment



Pittsylvania County Militia



Colonel Cocke's Militia Regiment



Augusta and Rockbridge Militia



And finally all of them en masse

Very nice work. And some very nicely staged photos.

Thats a good sized force you have assembled.

Which of these helped most in getting the figures painted?

I know from personal experience how hard it is to work your way through that much Milita  ~X(

I still have Lawson's Brigade to do  :!!

Sorry to ask, but did you manage to indentify particular flags for units or are they conjectural ;)
Either way they look very good and set off the units very well :)

Superb painting. Always fancied doing this using Charles Grants refight in "The Wargame" , just never got around to starting it.

Thanks all.

Paul - the flags are conjectural. I'm not sure there's any evidence at all for the militia flags at GC. My flag technique is to print down a Black and White template from the Internet and then overpaint it. So I just picked ones that looked nice and many of them are definitely wrong.... But who's to say otherwise  ;)

I suspected that would be your answer, about the only flag we seem to be sure about is the "Guildford Courthouse" flag which definitely wasn't at the battle  ;)
