Wow, fantastic paint on those provincials. PA troops if I'm not mistaken.

That's right Aaron 

Update on my own painting efforts: so far I've painted for my own collection 1 PA and 3 NJ, which need varnishing and basing and a couple of VA in early stages - started on them well before the production run started. That's right, slow  , but in my defence, most of what would be my painting time is these days taken up by sculpting etc  , I'll put them up when they're done. Odd to paint bits and pieces I know, but that's mainly so I can use them to support the painting guide I'm writing for provincials.

Thank you Lance for my order. Arrived today and thanks for great miniatures for the period and the extra miniatures.

Looking forward to painting the miniatures and seeing some new additions from you being released in the future.

Cheers,

Helen

They look great. My plan didn't involve them but maybe now it does.

Sounds like a good idea to me

The second order I have made from Galloping Major (Hi Lance) arrived two days ago.  I ordered the Provincials and some more Settlers.  I am very happy with the figures.  They are a touch larger than my Dixon figures, but I have found that they fit in on the table top with the rest of my (various types) F&IW figures pretty well.

With the numbers of GM figures I have waiting to be painted at present; I can put on a good sized skirmish game.  One of the forts I have is "Settlement Fort" from Old Glory (resin cast, stockade components).  I think the GM Settlers will be honored to defend that outpost.  The only delay is the painting part.  About half of the Settlers are painted and were a pleasure to finish.

The painted provincials below look very nice.  I must work on my technique and improve the pace of production with the paintbrush. 

I have already finished units of the Connecticut Militia, Hezekiah Dunn's Rangers, New Jersey Frontier Guard, Jersey Blues Provincial Militia, Ligonier Militia, Maryland Militia, Massachusetts Militia, New Hampshire Militia, New York Provincial Militia, Pennsylvania Augusta Militia, Pennsylvania Provincial Militia, Virginia Provincial Militia, Independent Company of Newburg, Dank's Rangers, Gorham's Rangers, Lowrey's Rangers, and Roger's Rangers. 

Can anyone provide me with a few suggestions for additional units to paint the GM Provincials and rangers to represent?  Thanks for your suggestions!

We introduced some "Unit Deals" some time ago, with useful combinations of packs combined together at a bit of a saving. They've become much more popular recently, so we've just introduced some more, with more planned to follow. Scroll down the online shop page to find them.

The first few Provincials I've painted, left to right: officer, sergeant and soldier of the "New Jersey Blues", and a soldier of the Pennsylvania Regiment.  
Must get round to finishing that basic guide to the provincial regiments

Looking great!  I'm just coming off of a 6 month FIW hiatus, and just ordered a few of these bad boys to paint while my wife is out of town for the first two weeks in Nov.  I'd love to see your painting guide go up!

Keep up the great work bigman! (sorry just watched a Glaswegian tv series)
