At the moment I am building a 30 point Confederate army for Rebels and Patriots (R&P from now on). Each standard unit of skirmishers is 6 figures strong in the rules. I had these 12 figures in suitable poses in the lead pile.

I decided to spend 8 points on these fellows, 2 points for the standard six plus a 2 point upgrade for "good shots".
They are skirmishers after all and a steady hand would be an advantage!

I am looking forward to the Union troops more to be honest, this is a bit like painting WW2 Germans for me, a necessary evil before I manage to get to the "good guys". But I've started so I'll finish as someone once said.
Next up some artillery and another plastic 12 figure unit.

Looking good Matt, fine looking Johnny Rebs.
ReplyDeleteLike you, I find painting Confederates a bit of a chore when there are lads in the lead pile waiting to receive their blue coats. Great work, I look forward to seeing more (hopefully Union) troops soon!
ReplyDeleteThey might be the baddies, but they're very pretty baddies. Stunning work, Matt
ReplyDeleteExcellent job!
ReplyDeleteLeaving politics etc aside I like the variety in doing Rebs but Yanks are mostly quicker and easier.
