AWI artillerymen painting thoughts?

[FifteensAway]

So, in my 'modest' AWI collection, I have 44 guns and each gun has 4 crewmen plus one casualty figure.  Seeking the greatest diversity within reason, I want to paint in various schemes.  

(And if we might dispense with the maybe that didn't get worn in the field argument here, this is a collection for table top gaming and not a museum display and will be used with more hypothetical games than historical scenarios over its lifetime.  So variety in the painting is several times more important to me than precise historical accuracy - though history does matter, of course.  Thank you kindly.)

For the British regulars there is at least both in tricorn and helmet.

For the continentals there is Rhode Island and the 1779 regulations.

There are French and German uniforms.

There are militia uniforms.  And we can add ragged uniforms to the mix.

I am painting in 15 mm, predominantly Musket Miniatures infantry and Freikorps cavalry but with a liberal sprinkling of others like Polly Oliver and Stone Mountain and some I'd have to think hard to recall.  So, super detail isn't in order, I will be painting to a gaming standard.

So, my question here is where can I go to improve the diversity without getting into the realm of "Imagination" painting?  Think, historical basis in general but perhaps not fielded in actual battle.  Remember, diversity.  

This will help maintain the enthusiasm when painting 220 artillerymen figures (remember the casualties!).

Thanks for all constructive replies.

And an aside, I am going to attempt to paint my entire AWI collection from now until the end of 2017.  I will need to average close to 300 figures per month to make it.  Who knows if I will hit that target but having the goal should help get an awful lot done between now and then.  (That counts a man as one, a horse as one, a gun as one, etc.)  Bases already ordered and some already received.  It is a LOT of bases.

I would have a look at Peter Pig range
http://www.peterpig.co.uk/awi.html
 They have round hats gun crews as well as casualties and crews with extra ammo boxes they even have women waving which  you could mod for molly picher  which a mate at are club done if thats your cup a tea. ,

 a great range of figures best in my eyes .

good luck with your project what rules will you be playing with ? British Grenadier is a great set.

happy gaming LR

I do have some Peter Pig figures in the collection, including some artillery crews.  But I have all the figures for the period I'm going to buy.  So, I'm looking for input on uniform variety to paint my crews.
