Thanks again for the kind comments :-)
The Indian skin was Tan - it's the Vallejo Game colour (number 72066)
I hope to get my hands on the Hessians I painted for a friend next week, so pics of them will appear shortly thereafter :-)
Cheers,
Rob

Now if I can only get my Prussians to look that good.

I have a fair start to a 15mm project for the AWI but seeing all the 10mm stuff on here makes it sooo very tempting..... they look lovely!!!! m/

The sculpts are very impressive with great detail and a good variety of poses. They paint up really easily :)
I really enjoyed painting mine :) :)

Hi again...
I got hold of the Hessians, so the pic is finally done...(apologies for lack of flags - they will hopefully follow soon).



I'm hoping to run a game of AWI at my local club in the next few weeks. As long as I can get some decent pics, I'll do a Batrep.

Cheers,
Rob

Looking good
I've just started some Highlanders for French Indian wars.
Hoping they'll turn out as good as these but doubt it lol

Thanks for the kind comments.
If I remember correctly, the musketeers are the Von Bose and Von Donop. Grenadiers are the Von Rall.
The Jagers form 2 companies (we use a figure to man ratio of 1:5). The grenadier and musketeer battalions are a bit under strength but I think the owner (I only painted them) will increase unit sizes at some point in the future :-)
I must admit that prior to starting the AWI, I thought it had very limited appeal, but the more games I play (or run) the more I enjoy them..
We use a homegrown set - they are called "Liberty or Crown". Very simple mechanics, but lots of period specific flavour.
Cheers,
Rob
