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!

Welcome to the Painting Challenge. Here you will find the fabulous, fevered work of miniature painters from around the world. While participants come from every ethnicity, gender, age and nationality, they have three things in common: they love miniatures, they enjoy a supportive community, and they want to set themselves against the Challenge. This site features the current year's event along with the archives of past Painting Challenges. Enjoy your visit and remember to come back soon.

ReplyDeleteNice work Miles.
ReplyDeleteAs you say these will look great on masse. That came out less complimentary than it was supposed to.
ReplyDeleteBut 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
DeleteLooking great Miles!
ReplyDeleteLovely looking irregulars! Mounted riflemen are ace!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Really nice work Miles, I like the work on the militia units, they look perfect on your terrain boards.
ReplyDeletevery nice indeed
ReplyDeleteThey look excellent en masse!
ReplyDeleteYou're really churning out a lot of minis, this project looks great so far.
ReplyDeleteVery 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.
ReplyDeleteLooking good!
ReplyDeleteReally great looking units Miles!
