26 Virginia Provincials for Muskets and Tomahawks. Not super historically accurate but close enough.

Very nice. They need a few Ranger scouts.

Pity the poor horses, always getting left out of the count.

Look good - painted beats unpainted. Now for the battle reports...

Nice work, especially on the bases. I loves me some Provincials.

Thanks guys. I'm pretty sure the models are all from Galloping Major but I have had them for years so cant recall exactly. The baseing material is from https://hugeminis.com which is actually got a sale running on flowers and grass tufts (while supplies last). I also have some flags o order from Flags of War. Ones they get in I'll post some pictures and include my 25 Georgia Provincials I hunting jackets.

Very nice. The figures are Perry I believe.

A mix of Foundry and Perry, in terms of manufacturer, but all sculpted by Alan Perry himself.

I double checked and looks like they are all purchased from Perry miniatures.

Can't beat the Perry AWI range.

Although in 10mm pendrakens is arguably as wonderful.

Here are 25 Georgia Provincials that I had painted a couple years ago but just recently touched up the bases and paint.

Historical accuracy is over rated and most gamers ignore the reality of rags and bleached clothing anyway, and bang on about uniforms that may never have even made it into reality.

Have you considered a wash, or army painter to bring out the detail, rather than just block painting?

They are all washed in army painter dark tone and flesh tone then again with a mat varnish. Just not showing up well in photos.

Like those Georgians. Painted a 15 mm FIW provincial unit in very similar colors and style.

20 Compagnies Franches de la Marines from Warlord Games finished up.

Another good looking unit.

And a cautionary tale. I started basing my 15 mm FIW on individual bases but as the collection grew...and grew...and grew...I ended up with three figures to a base. My goal was around 150 figures total. Will end up north of 1800 but that includes a boat load of boat crews. The main foot troops will be closer to 1200. Just saying'.
