AWI WIP2

Cracking on with these two now, I have used a dark rust colour for the base of the red then flat red and then add a light bronzed flesh for highlights. The white is using P3 paints with a final pure white highlight.

Squad bases from Warbases

 Dad and I have hit on how we plan to play the FIW with Blackpowder. We will use 6 man squads with their own stat lines 4 or 5 squads will make a regt with a capt (think 4 or 5 units in a brigade with a brigade commander). This way we can have formed troops who gain the support bonus and scouts and light troops who do not. To show a formed squad I ordered some movement trays from warbases, now my units can form up or skirmish. I have added the Zulu war quad I am basing ATM to give the idea.

Zulu war Squad done AWI/FIW Brits started

I just have the bases left to finish on the Zulu war squad, very happy with how they look. I have also started on the first 2 brits from Foundrys AWI range, I was a little disappointed with them as for a company who charge top dollar the casting has been poor. The sculpts (which are Perry boys) are very good but have some nasty mould lines which for wargames figures are just not worth the time and effort to correct. Anyway enough talk and now some eye candy.
