From MilesR: War of 1812 US Troops (184 Points)

For today's entry, I've got three different types of US irregular troops from the War of 1812 in 15mm scale.  All of the figures are from Old Glory's Blue Moon line.
First up are 16 Mounted KT Riflemen to join the other ones I had completed earlier.  These guys are fun to paint up.
Some close ups of my less than spectacular painting.  Still when viewed en masse on the table top they'll look fine.

Next up 7 stands of mounted militia and a command stand(15 figures in total)...
...and their dismounted counter parts - 7 stands of four-figured infantry and a two-figure command stand.

I've got some more US Light Dragoons and a whole bunch of Militia and Native Americans to come before I'm ready (figure-wise) for the convention game.

The Dragoons are already on the painting bench....

The Figure count for this submission is:

- 31 x mounted 15mm figures - 124 points;
- 30 x 15mm infantry figures - 60 points;

Total 184 points.

Great to see this project rolling along at the usual steady pace we have come to expect from you Miles, well done.  I'm looking forward to seeing and learning more about the scenario you have in mind for the convention game in question - as I had mentioned last week, the War of 1812 is something I should know more about, but in fact I know almost nothing beyond the year it took place....

Another 184 points for your formidable score sir!

  2. As you say these will look great on masse. That came out less complimentary than it was supposed to.

    1. But very true. I struggle with painting 15's to a basic quality but really do enjoy using them over 28's for large battles. This is one of those areas where function wins over form

  6. Very nice. we are playing War of 1812 in 28mm (SPII) at the moment. The units look so much more bulky and impressive in 15mm. Good stuff.
