From BruceR 28mm Hessian AWI Perry Miniatures (8x5=40 pts)

Our group has grow from FIW into AWI so why not.  I posted earlier 12 Queens Rangers for the British side which brought my Sharp Practice 2 up to 3 groups of eight.  In some research I've found figures such as 30,000 Hessian troops were brought to America in the AWI.  So the groups order from Perry's I went for a Hessian force.

Here is the start of the Hessians.  A group of 8 musketeers.  When finished I will have 3 groups of 8 musketeers and a group of jaegers to add to my Queens Rangers (I might have a unit of Queens Mounted Dragoons).  Should make for a fun force.  The different paint scheme will be fun.

Above is my base coat.  Black first and a 45 degree brown to start.  

WIP still on the bench

Finished first group.  

The blue comes out a little lighter, but on the table the dark  blue is too dark in my mind.  So lighter it is for table play.

8 28mm x 5 = 40

Hope you enjoy.

Stay safe and those of us in the North, stay warm as you paint.
