These complete the initial Union 'army'.
 |
| Two Parrott Rifles, a 12 strong cavalry squadron and the general has been 'upgraded'! |
 |
| One shortcoming of the range is the limited number of artilleryman poses! The gun barrels are painted in German grey rather than black. |
 |
| The cavalry figure is supposed to have a slung carbine across his back... but this is missing on both the master and mould that I have! |
 |
| Didn't expect toget started on these but might even get the painting finished before 'tree day' tomorrow. Gloss spray and basing don't depend on the tree, so if I do get the painting finished it gives me two regiments of Confederates I didn't expect to have. In theory, that would mean that could play the first game in Featherstone's 'Battles with Model Soldiers'. I mean, I could... seems weird, two units a side on an 8' x 5' table. Actually, I couldn't do it - my table is only 4' wide! |
Like so many old figures, they paint up better than one might expect.
ReplyDeleteJust right for the first scenario I ever saw and tried. Did rerun in the early days of my blog with 3 different rule sets.. (but used the full OB).
I'm intending to run all three scenarios in the late New Year - though as I've still got the cavalry and artillery to do for the Confederates (2 regiments of infantry now painted though not based)it could be late January/early February before it's done.
