Epic Revolution, Part 1: Marketing Works!

 Yep. The ole Marketing scheme worked with the free sprue of Epic Revolution from Warlord Games that was included in a issue of Wargames Illustrated. In the past I have used the sprues for new armies for One Hour Wargames. The Sprue I received was the Hessian sprue which includes Hessian Musketeers, Hessian Grenadiers, British Grenadiers, Hessian  Jägers, Indians, and 2 figures of British Cavalry. I've been sucked in. I'll explain in another post why and what I am planning to do.

For practice as it's been a while since I painted horse and musket and figures smaller than 28mm I decided to paint them on the sprue and then later on the bottlecaps (trying to figure out which is easier). The figure in the middle on the right was my practice figure for Musketeer Regiment von Donop. I'm going to have two strips on each base and three bases for a unit.

They are coming along nicely. My philosophy is to paint to what they would look at gaming distance, so I will not be adding super detail.

I am pleased with how they are coming out. The figures I have officially determined that they are 12.5mm measuring from the bottom of their feet to the top of their heads - not their headgear! Also I forgot that it takes about the same amount of time to paint 12.5 - 18mm figures as 28mm figures.

Now to do some research. OH DANG IT! The grenadiers were detached and four seperate Grenadier Regiments were formed. They got me. I need some more musketeers.
