Painted for the Pendraken painting competition, and to supplement my long neglected AWI forces, Brunswickers,
The aim has always been to play Black Powder with these, originally back in 2011, three of us started the project, one emigrated to the US then moved Bristol (Hi Brian), one never got started (Hi John) so after a few fights with Americans on both sides (often supported by Brian's French), I ended up building forces for both sides of Freeman's Farm from the Black Powder rules by Warlord Games.
With this next batch, it finishes all the forces needed for Freeman's Farm, only taken 7 years!
Grenadier Battalion von Breymann
Note the cords on the mitres helmets, those are sculpted on!
Middle base is a recycled base, hence the different layout.
Friedrich, Baron von Riedesel,
The four missing figures!
Not sure how they escaped, but they're finished now!!!
And some more are now added, still trying to get the forces for 'Freeman's Farm' sorted! I originally started these for the painting competition, but did not get them done in time (and I'm still waiting for John to do his share)!
The second latest batch.
Canadians (small unit in Black Powder)
Corps of Marksmen, an ad hoc small unit
Loyalist Infantry (in skirmish, another small unit)
Another artillery battery (to be attached to the Brunswick units)
Varioius sabots to replace detached light infantry and grenadiers (and a spare British Grenadiers, I have no idea why)
Prinz Friedrich Infantry (Brunswickers)
One of the things the Freeman's Farm scenario wants is pickets to preceed the British force, so here they are! (Yet another small unit)
A couple of spare casualty markers, including the missing one for the 16th Dragoons.
From the previous batches...
British Artillery
The Jagers from Brunswick contingent lead the approaching reinforcements for the British. There are only 12 figures as it represents a 'small unit' in the rules, as they were a company sized detachment that fought independently throughout the Saratoga Campaign..

Very good, the basing has the right feel for the period and I am quite taken by the pairing of the guns on that base.
