This is my first posting in the AOTBB section, as I usually frequent the Medieval boards. However, having a quick break last month from the fifteenth century to top-up my AWI southern theatre units - I needed a change on the painting table from plate armour and heraldry, plus I'd forgotten how many castings I'd collected.
So these are all Perry AWI militia.
The marching figures were done for me a couple of years ago by Jim Bowen - sadly the last of his paintwork that I have - to which I tried to match in another four figures to complete the unit.
The firing lines have been done with a slightly quicker method than normal for me, as I have some more to do too, with more washes and just a single highlight on the main clothing areas and face & hands.
Flags are the excellent GMB Designs.

Will post up the next militia when done.
Cheers, Simon.

Those are really rather good, a nice simple palette and really effective, love the muted colours.

Could this open the way to a third blog ?!!!

Very nice. Like your choice of colours. I'm just in the process of painting up a unit of shirt sleeved loyalists using the same figures. At least one of the remaining figures will now be wearing a dull crimson waistcoat, which hopefully will be indistinguishable from yours.
Quite a few of your troops are wearing white cockades, is that based on fact? The only mention I've seen is of the Americans adopting a double cockade of black with an inner white cockade to honour their French allies.

:-*An impressive body of troops...so well painted they may not run away after a shot or two! Love your subtle tones...very lifelike.

Great painting and unit composition Simon. And not a sallet in sight!

Many thanks for the comments.
Stuart - no I cant support another blog! I do have a fair amount of AWI stuff done, so maybe will post future progress and a mini back-catalogue on here?
Moonshado - I didn't know about the cockades and just did a contrasting colour.

Halfway thru another militia unit - coming soon!
Simon.
