Started on the next group of Confederate infantry for Fire and Fury and the like.

Additions to the growing Confederate force are coming on at a steady rate with artillery and cavalry planned for the future.

Cheers for now.

Confederate infantry advancing from Old Glory. The command stand was painted earlier this year. 

The other five bases were painted during the first 30 days 30 Miniatures Painting Challenge or was it the second.

The Old Glory figures have great character amd paint up well. There will be more of these sooner and later.

Cheers for now.

Yesterday was the last day of the current 30 Days 30 Miniatures Painting Challenge; which earlier this week looked like it was not going to happen.

A last push at the finish line made the following possible:

First up are Confederates from Old Glory. These 15mm figures are animated and characterful; just what you need for charging the Union lines.

Next, an old mid nineties skeleton from Citadel or Marauder Miniatures. A great figure to paint, perfect for finishing off a painting challenge.

Completed this challenge:

Day 30 - 34 figures completed.

Cheers for now

Second session for #30days30miniatures painting challenge and another couple of figures moved on to the shelf to wait on basing.

The last of the peltasts for the first stand completed below.

An out of ammo marker for ACW gaming with the figure coming from Old Glory's Blue Moon range of 15mm Confederate infantry.

Cheers for now.

With a Rebel Yell 10

Casualty markers for the CSA including artillery and infantry stand; the cavalry will follow shortly.

All of the figures above are from Friekorps Miniatures including the infantry stands shown below.

Next are three more command stands for the Confederate  States of America. The figures this time are from Blue Moon supplied by Old Glory.

From right to left below there are standards for the 11th Missippi, South Carolina 6th Volunteers and the 24th Alabama infantry.

More standards and markers to follow along with work in progress pictures from the Greeks and Arabs.

Cheers for now.

Continuing on from the previous post here are the first batch of command stands for the CSA infantry.

Also on the table in varying stages are some casualty markers for cavalry, foot and artillery.

For all of these figures will be block painting and washing in either strong or dark tone Army Painter wash. Looking to create a good atmospheric feel to the figures, that is dark and grim, with out taking a life time to do so. Time isn't something that is greatly available here although the figures do warrant some effort just not three layers and wash on an 18mm figure.

Next post will show some completed figures from a much older period.

Cheers for now

With a Rebel Yell 9

Been a while since anything for the American Civil War has been painted and here is the start of some seventy bases of infantry for the Confederates shown below.

Figures are from Old Glory's Blue Moon range and block and wash well enough for the rule of three foot. An interesting approach from a fellow blogger can be viewed here; wish had thought of this years ago.

To be used for with Battle Cry, Fire and Fury and Pickett's Charge.

Next up will show some more of the same in various stages of painting - predominately command stands too.

Cheers for now
