AWI Update

Last week I finished off the last of my 28mm AWI Continentals figures for the upcoming Brandywine game. I only had 36 figures to do, but it was hard work. I enjoyed the first few, and got through the first battalion of 18 reasonably well. But the second battalion was hard going, and I was mighty glad to finish.

No photos at this stage, they're off being based to match the rest of the units for the game, but I'll grab some shots on the day. They'll look okay in amongst a mass of units on a huge table, but I wasn't super happy with how they turned out. You can pretty much get away with anything in 15mm and still have the figures look great after an ink wash and a highlight, but my painting style was found wanting with these 28s, and running up against the deadline to get them finished, I lacked the time and energy to work out how to do it better.

But all is not lost, as I'll be getting some more practice with larger figures with the next items on the to-do list: 

There's a day of Warmachine silliness coming up at the club in early April that I'm hoping to get to, so I'll see if I can get some of these done in time for that.
