10mm AWI forces, Brunswickers expanded.

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!

Light Infantry Battalion von Barner


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.

The random miniatures in my lead pile thread

Hi all, As the months go on, I am finding more random stuff that does not fit into any catagory is creeping it's way up to the surface of my lead mountain.  I decided a few years back, rather than just throw it back like one of Nobby's escaped socks, I would actually paint some of them   Mutant Zombie by CP Models Or just a mutant? Nota nice looking chap That's not going to clear up anytime soon! Nasty rash there Puss, but no boots   Thought Sharke needed some support, so when I ordered terrain from Alternative Armies, I added a certain Sergeant. He's a BIG unit! Thought it was only a few months back painted Sharke, but I checked back, 10th December 2022!    Claudia the animal handler, Bowie and Marcella the Monster Hunter from Bad Squiddo Back view Side on     Mimic from Bad Squiddo Grib...

Blizkeig Commander IV - Hasty Assault

Mark and Stephen took my British at 1750 points, with effectively the same lists as before, but with two turns of preprogrammed artillery and a turn of smoke to assault my 1100 points of Germans who were in dugouts and gunpits. I chose to defend the four hills near my baseline. I has three HMGs, three mortars, two command teams and six infantry platoons, with two PAK36s teams. PAK36s and mortars on the back hill, two infantry and an HMG on the front. Infantry and Mortars in the left hill as a flank guard British stalled, turn 1 they failed to reach the table, so it took them at least four turns to advance. Artillery had landed on the right-hand hill, and rear hill, but had failed to kill anything, even with two 8 gun batteries of 25lbers . My ambush was sprung out the thicket. British infantry advancing developed an unfortunate habit of getting hit by mortars and HMGs. The British in turn 6 cleared the central hill with armour, but needed to get at least three infantry stand...
