AWI 40mm gaming anyone ? Updated

[Lysandros]

Massachusetts continental line 1776 (restored)
This is the first unit l ever painted in 40mm . At the time there was no American line on the market except militia.  So I used British line but painted them as Americans. I tried to disguise the Lace as I was just desperate to get an American line unit on the board.
So quarantine has allowed me to spend time on many units including this one. Paint has been restored, touched up as the years have taken their toll. So semi painted hopefully to be around for many years onwards.
Cheers

Hi Rob
Lovely looking unit - I love the brown colour you’ve used - it’s so great to see you with your mojo back - we were quite worried about you for a while 😂 - but like me , the world of social media can give you that spur to create bigger and better and a purpose to finish projects - you’ve become a new superhero for the 40mm fraternity - Tractorman ! I think you need to change your name 😊

My real spur is suddenly I have time. Without sport to keep me active , family commitments and holiday cottages closed down, I have never been so free . Strangely I have enjoyed it somewhat but I do worry long-term about the economic meltdown.
Over the years many of the units colours that faded slightly, after , maybe varnishes have slightly darkened, you see figure anatomy differently from advice of friends and has given time for a revamp of sorts.
I rarely use social media but I have gone bonkers since lockdown. I just thought I would get the stuff out there for once as I could never be bothered to take it with me and demonstrate somewhere.l lost my mojo but lv'e become a tractor renaissance man . it's great to have it back and really enjoying mucking about again and it really fills time in meltdown.
I'm sure when the world goes back to normal you won't hear much of a dickie bird from your old China as life commitments
take over.
Kind regards  , keep safe.

The skirmishers are great, like the charging unit, nice animation

Keep em coming, this a great thread. My Front Rank orders have arrived, this gives me the incentive to get on with them.

A mash up of odd and sods from culled units.
Trident, Sash and Sabre militia figures with head swaps.
Not sure about it .

I, for one, would love to see a listing of all the figures you have for all sides of the conflict you've included: name of unit, number of figures, foot or mounted or guns.  Also, what do you have in the way of civilians and animals for 'decorating' your games (or for in game objectives even)?  If you don't have a careful inventory to share, here is your chance to develop one.  (Sorry if you've already mentioned this but I haven't the time to go through the whole thread tonight.)

The odds and sods might not be your best work but if running the unit in a game, I'd be more worried about their performance on the field of battle than if they are 'top notch'.  At current prices it appears one unit discarded, unpainted, is $50 bucks - add in the painting, basing time and...!
