At last the first Union force has stepped off the painting table and is now advancing to the field of battle. These are Perry plastics based for Rebels & Patriots. This is a standard 12 figure infantry unit, however despite the flags this is not going to be the main commander's unit - I have plans for an extra special regiment for that role, which will probably be the next 28mm unit I paint.
I have given myself the challenge of creating a force large enough for games night in three months time. Bearing in mind the rebels took me over a year to complete that is no mean feat. Hopefully my seven day weekend lifestyle will help!

I have a couple of Jacklex units primed and ready so if I can get them both finished you'll see them in all their glory next Sunday.
These are looking great Matt.
ReplyDeleteThat's a hell of challenge, Matt, but the result will be spectacular!
ReplyDeleteAfter so many months twiddling my thumbs I am raring to go!
DeleteThey certainly painted up well!
ReplyDeleteRushing to get a Union army on the table by alternatel painting 28mm and 20mm ACW units sounds like the sort of tactics I might choose.
2021 is definitely very ACW orientated - hopefully both projects can be put to bed by Christmas!
DeleteBest of luck on your challenge. I look forward to seeing them on your table.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Matt. By the look of these beauties the eyes are working well. I do hope that is the case?
ReplyDeleteRegards, James
Thanks James - the eyes are holding out well, long may it continue (every procedure came with the caveat it could all slip back again so I am trying to make every day count!)
DeleteThanks Stu - I'll remember that!
