Looking for help identifying 28mm AWI figures.

Post by ekessler507 »

My investigation and posts elsewhere have led me to believe these 28mm AWI figures are from Front Rank. However, the FR website and Triangle Miniatures do not show them in the current offering. Looking for confirmation that these are indeed FR figures and whether they have been discontinued or not. Thanks!

They look like front rank to me.

It also looks like whoever painted them did some slight modifications to the face plates of the British Cavalry to represent a loyalist regiment as well as the position of the arms and placing of carbines rather then swords in their hands but the trunks or bodies look like front rank. The top pictures of the American Cavalry are straight off the site, AWCC1 Light Dragoons Trooper at ease, AWCC2 Light Dragoons Officer with sword, AWCC3 Light Dragoons Standard Bearer, AWCC4 Light Dragoons Bugler.

The Cavalry in blue with Tarleton hats are AWBC5 British Legion Trooper Charging & AWBC6 British Legion Officer Charging
As for the infantry in Tarletons they are definitely based on the dismounted Continental light dragoons. Either the painter modified the helmets with putty or removed the heads off of British Legion Troopers and put them on Continental light Dragoons or they are earlier sculpts of Alecs which may have been retired years ago but I do not remember him ever offering dismounted Legion troopers.
