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!

Buildings
SCN-ACW2






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

The random miniatures in my lead pile thread

Hi all, As the months go on, I am finding more random stuff that does not fit into any catagory is creeping it's way up to the surface of my lead mountain. I decided a few years back, rather than just throw it back like one of Nobby's escaped socks, I would actually paint some of them   Mimic from Bad Squiddo Gribbly Sushi? Catch of the day!   Another Grenadier 1984 from Brian's collection - possible Flesh Golem? Pants! Quick job, but fun   TT Combat Halfling adventuers, a barbarian, a fighter, a ranger (with squirrel), a mage, and a bard (with bagpipes) Rough bunch Distancing themselves from the Bard! Fireball!   Really random. Converted GW 1990s halfling on a Ral Patha sheep - a ram raider! There are quite a few more of these to do, but this one fell off the lead pile while I was looking for something else. He ...

Legion Imperialis 8mm - Civitas ruins boxed set.

Terrain box (Civitas ruins) painted up Honestly took me longer to build it than it did to paint! But there may be a reason for that Someone needs a word with their structural surveyor! I mean, the build quality here is awful. At least the marines will have somewhere to hide It's about an A3 of ruined stuff It's been trashed Comes with a lot of scatter  The rest of the club was doing it, so I had to do it!  Looking through the various Legions from the Horus Herasy, I decided... Nope. Don't like them. Stick to what you know. 'Stick 'Em In The Eye - It's the Emperor's Pointy Sticks' So, seven years after I painted the 'Emperor's Pointy Sticks' in 6mm, GW have released Legion Imperialis in 8mm. Marine booster pack painted up, group photos! Mixed bag About 100 extra points on table!  "Did I miss the photoshoot?" *FACEPALM* These are the ones I've be...
