Kentuckians AWI Peter Pig/Stone Mountain 15mm
Happy end of Summer to everyone. Near Labor Day in the states and I've been diligently working on several new and exciting projects. Most recent project finished was 15mm American War of Independence Kentucky militia. These miniatures are for an AWI skirmish game using the snappy ruleset, This Very Ground (Iron Ivan Games) which I first teased in the post British Rangers & Shawnee, Oh My! As previously mentioned these are great rules to play with a fun shooting mechanic that is effected by black powder smoke filling the battlefield among other factors. Highly recommended.
These figures are a mix of Peter Pig and some vintage Stone Mountain miniatures which were still on the original blister pack and purchased from eBay. For most of the rank & file militia I used Stone Mountain but for the Kentucky mountain men, elite woodsmen & marksmen, Peter Pig's militia in buckskin. The details on Peter Pig's is the usual quality-outstanding, but the Stone mountain figures look nice all painted up as well considering their age.
For an upcoming battle report that will reach this space soon which I've now dubbed the Skirmish at Soggy Bend, the Kentucky army will consist of one officer, irascible Major Hugh McGloin, 10 militia including a lieutenant, and 8 mountain men. Even though they will be outnumbered by the opposing Anglo-Native allied army 28-18, the mountain men shoot at longer range with a slightly better chance to hit.
Keep rolling those crits...
