Hi All,
Latest figures sculpted for the AWI range, again due to the sponsorship of generous Pendraken customers.
First up Hessian musketeers and grenadiers firing (fusiliers already in the range).

I am in no danger of winning any photography awards, but you get the idea. More Hessians to preview tomorrow.
Simply beautiful Clib!
Stunning work as always!
Agreed. Those look great.
:-bd =D> :-bd =D> :-bd
Thanks as always guys. These German infantry may be the most complex foot figures I've done in 10mm. They have quite a lot of gear, and I had run out of cast muskets so I had to start sculpting them from scratch- a process I hate and when I started the AWI it took me hours to sculpt the first one for dollying. More experienced now so it's not as hard, but it's still a pain. Thankfully I still had dollied headgear to work with. Grenadier mitres are super complex; I don't think I could face doing all the piping mutiple times...
Anyway, some grenadiers advancing with fixed bayonets.

Very nice indeed Clibinarium :-bd
I'm sure that Paul is even now calculating how many more Hessian units he needs when these guys are released ;D :-\
X_X
1. Those figure sculpts are masterful, in my opinion.
2. The photography is excellent.
[not that I'm an expert on either of the above - just an admirer of talent]
:-bd =D> :-bd =D> :-bd =D>
They really are gorgeous little miniatures. So much so, that they're making me think about buying them & I don't even do AWI or have reason to require them :)
This latest group is particularly splendid!
I see what you mean about a lot of kit.
You've put buttons on the gaiters... In 10mm
SO glad I don't do AWI.
QuoteYou've put buttons on the gaiters... In 10mm
Well, I'm cheating there really; they are just holes pushed in so that they can be left/washed in black. I have had complaints before that I don't actually sculpt the buttons in (i.e. raised). That would be possible but its a lot of awkward work, and my guess is people wouldn't thank me for making the paint jobs even more complex.
The test is always "Would I want to paint that?", and in this case the answer is "no".

What Paulr said!

If you want something less detailed to sculpt, can I commission some 1860s Paraguayans?
Mark
Glad commenters are liking the figures so far. Next batch is some musketeers advancing with the bayonet.
Mark, I think I may still owe you some 28mm prints, before we get on to 10mm Paraguayans?

Amazing
Aw, bl--dy 'eck. I can feel the impending purchase (eventually) for my C18th Imagi-Nation armies ... and I still haven't started on my C20th Monacorrans or their opponents.
Excellent sculpts =D> =D> =D>
hmm, Think I might have to revisit and pad out my AWI forces :-\
Looking forward to seeing what you do with them Dazza :)
"Mark, I think I may still owe you some 28mm prints, before we get on to 10mm Paraguayans?"
Oh yes, still building that Afghan army, those prints would complete it pretty much, I've done plastic conversions for the rest I needed :)
Yeah I need to get that sorted, now that I've worked out how to get my printer working correctly (a tale of woe in itself). Waiting now on resin to arrive suitable for figures. I have the stuff used for masters, but that's too brittle for figures that are to be handled.
Last batch of Hessians for now; Fusileers advancing with the bayonet.

Don't count on it ;D
Photographs of amazing sculpts have a lot to answer for.
The sculpts for the LOA cavalry lured me down that rabbithole; to the extent that I currently have 15 foot units and 10 horse units, plus grenadiers and artillery, for both sides (all based for BLB).
I was resolute that I wasn't going for the Peninsular War until the photos of the British figures appeared. The lead mountain now boasts a dozen regiments of foot for both sides plus appropriate cavalry and guns. Actually, that's not strictly true as I have painted about half the infantry for both sides and some of the British cavalry, so they're in storage boxes rather than on the mountain slopes.
These AWI photos have now got me wondering where I put the rule set I used to use at a Club I used to attend. I must be mad to be contemplating AWI in 10mm: I already have AWI British in 15mm and some 28mm Perry Plastics (still unassembled).

Lovely sculpts.....are you teasing us with Paraguayans for the War of the Triple Alliance?
QuoteLovely sculpts.....are you teasing us with Paraguayans for the War of the Triple Alliance?
No, absolutely not, I have no interest in that conflict. Sultanbev may be the one teasing you. We need to sort out a small 28mm project first, and then maybe we'll look into Paraguay.
"Lovely sculpts.....are you teasing us with Paraguayans for the War of the Triple Alliance? "
My reckoning is we can use other figures for the other armies, and have stocked up on a lot of ACW in preparation, but the Paraguayans are a bit unique with that peculiar tall sloping enlarged-kepi hat thingy. Am prepared to pay for some sculpts to be done, there wouldn't be that many..... =)

I reckon the ACW and WoP ranges probably can proxy for most troops other than the Paraguyans?
Small AWI addition- British infantry mounted. Wearing cut-down coats and overall trousers. Mostly used in the Southern theatre, fought in the original dragoon fashion, i.e. ride to the action but dismount to fight. You could also probably use them as scouts if your games allow. Decided to put them on smaller horses as they probably had to make do with whatever horses could be found.

Very Very nice. Will certainly buy a pack when the time comes.
Some more Hessian/German figures, this time various command figures in formal marching poses. They've been given the minimum equipment to make them a bit simpler to paint.

About half of the production moulds are done and I'm hoping to get the rest of them done next week, in time for release before the Warfare show.
