AWI: The Last American Units

 

With the last British units done, here are the last units painted in the push to finish this Black Powder collection. This time its the last two standard American infantry units, some artillerymen, and a light infantry unit to finish across the line. 

8th Virginia Regiment

This is another unit from the HaT Set, 8342, AWI American Infantry, released earlier this year. It's nice to get the option of hats cocked to one side, rather than the more common Tricorn, and enough make up a standard BP infantry unit. 

The uniform is of the shorter cut that appeared as the war progressed and various campaigns wore on, and the coloring is from the Baccus uniform guide on their website - blue coat, facings and cuffs. I also seem to have produced a Schrodinger's drummer, as their coat is perpetually in the superstate of being both reversed and not reversed at the same time 😲

5th Carolina

This is the last unit I'll be painting from the  HaT Set, 8342, AWI American Infantry, and the last standard BP unit for the collection!

Another small irony added in at the end after painting so many different coat colours, was a unit with blue coats, and cuffs and facings of a slightly different blue 😏

4th New York - Light Infantry

One final light infantry unit for the Americans, the 4th New York LI in late war pattern gear, taken from Strelets, Set M071, British Light Infantry in Egypt. I think, now I'm at the end of painting, this is my least favourite set I've used for this collection. They don't stand up to close scrutiny but will at least work for 'arms length' wargames figures on the table.

Artillerymen

Finally to finish the absolute last units off, the remainder of American artillery crews to man the guns painted previously.

These are from IMEX's, Set 555, British Artillery and were some of my favourite figures to paint - well proportioned and detailed.

But with all the units done, its time to finish of some BP command stands and call the whole collection done!
