ACW 10mm forces commission. Union forces for Gettysberg.

Lee contacted me to ask me to do some more for his ACW collection.
Everything shown here is Pendraken, even the banners
Lee asked me to do another batch of Union. "To finish this lot off" and to add an extra few stands to his Confederates.
Then he showed me the AWI order he's just put into Leon! I'm going to be busy for quite a while!!!

The whole batch



Union infantry stands


Suitably grim


Off they go to war


At the quick


Named infantry command stands


18th Mass., 18th Indiana, 42nd Indiana, 1st Batt, 11th US Infantry


Never take photos as 6 am! You will notice the flag edging improves throughout this set!


Great sculpts


Away they go


Off they pop


Generic command stands


Advance


Yes, one commander is facing the other way


Supply wagon for the Union


"Three wheels on my wagon..."


Clip-clop


Confederates, featuring command stands for 49th Georgia, 34th Alabama, 37th Virginia


If you notice two flags on two standsm, that's because I did not know the Confederates only carried one flag per regiment. So I added the older national flags for a bit of colour.


Lee asked me to try to match his basing, I hope I got away with it!


These are also 5 to a base to match his, whereas his Union infantry is 4 to a base, and his cavalry dismounts three!


I love the flags, they really stand out!


This one really looks the part


Confedetrate supply wagon


Looks uncomfortable


You ever play 'Oregon Trail'? You die of dystentry..


Top view of the whole lot


 Had not realised it was two years since the last batch!


Corps commanders, McClellan on the left


Ready for Gettysberg




Back view


Five more units of Union infantry


As they march away


It is quite a large batch (42.5 bases of 4)


The command stands


I labelled the underside command stands, allowing Lee flexibility of units for Fire and Fury (The Pendraken flag labels are perfect size).


Brigadiers (using up spare command infantry too)






Artillery x 4


BNAG!


Think Lee miscounted how much artillery he needed, he wanted two of each gun, but ordered two PACKS of each gun!




A mix of Parrott and smoothbores


They feel 'right'.


Don't stand there mate!

SCN-ACW3











SCN-ACW4






SCN-ACW7




SCN-ACW6




Anteitem Church SCW-ACW8








Snake rail fencing - three packs worth
First sections




Two more sections


About an A4 length of rail

 Lee asked me to get these done by the end of July, so I started them last Thursday, and they were posted on Tuesday.

Infantry- Doubleday's Division 1st Corps


Top view


I had enough figures left over for an extra unit.


As they advance


Buford's cavalry division, with enough spare figures to build an extra brigade.


An impressive sight.


Heavy horse flesh


Charge


On their way


Dismounted stands


Really love these


Certainly adds to the firepower, but not at very long range.


Advancing to glory


Exceptional brigade commander stands






Divisional commanders, Buford to the front


Buford is my favourite ACW general btw.


Is it good ground?


1st Corps Command Reynolds (killed at Gettysberg)




Standard was fun, just wish the photos had come out clearer.




Artillery








Not quite a grand battery.


Limbers






Waiting for something...


That something

Warhammer Old World - Goblins vs Empire, Batlle of The Hilly Hill

"Oi, where's the rest of the army?" Stumpy Jason turned round to the musician Thumpy Jason. "We's only playing 1000 points!" "Oh right. But why are there more Empire 'ooomans than us then?" the Goblin Wolfrider capatin pondered. Mort and I met up for a game of Warhammer Old World. I chose my Goblins, with only 1000 points. This led to me taking a unit of spears, with the army standard, a unit of archers, a spear chucker and some wolf riders. A level 1 mage, my general on a giant squig and Stumpy Jason rounded out my selection. I was tooled up with magic standards and characters, so half my points were tied up in characters. Mort had two units of mounted pistolliers, a spear unit, two detachments , one of handgunners, one of halbardiers, and a small unit of knights. Two characters were embedded in his spears and one pistolliers, and a mage strode forwards with the halbardiers. My wolves and general went left, archers, spears, bolt chucker and...

Mortal Gods - Three Sided scrap - finding the treasure.

Typhon woke up, his head was banging, and there would definitely be a new scar on hi sarm... "Nice to see you can take a knock too!" Leandros looked over at the archer. Polykratos sat on a nearby boulder, helmet and shield at his feet, sword bloodied, he was smiling at his two fellow fighters. "Nice to see you two sleepy heads. By the way, we won! Spartans and Etruscans all sent packing, treasures secrured!" Dave, David and I met up for a game of Mortal Gods. Mark was meant to be joining us, but he had to call off. This is only a quick report, as we were haing too much of a laugh! Six objecties were scattered across the field, which you have to find and hold until the end of turn 5. One would go live on a roll of '6', if an action was expended on it. The others then are empty. Three sides means two corners and an edge. 450 points each. I was nearest, Dave the other corned, David the opposite edge.My standard warband took to the field, with their eyes firmly...
