American Civil War - Union Army

 ACW project is finished. Oddly, I'm not a big one for ACW, but friends bought in, I added some, then it kinda spiralled out from there really. 

Glad to say its all done now though, and heres the first part - the Union.

Essentially, its all Perry as that Battle in a Box was much in demand amongst my lot for when we prepped for a game a while back (Link) and I've kept working on stuff since then to get it all finished up.

I'd say this was painted across four main periods really - leading up to Christmas 17 for the first ACW game, then leading up to the big group game in Christmas 18, then another patch in Summer 19 when the Gettysburg games were fought. Finally, we set a lockdown 2 challenge and I bashed out another 94 minis in short order across the last ten days to finish everything.

Here we go with the pics then!















Up next - The Confederacy

    1. Cheers! Nicely satisfying being able to look at them and think "ah, finished", shortly before putting them in a box and sticking said box in a dark cupboard.

  2. Splendid looking Union army! More so that it's something you're not even that interested in!

    1. Thank you. I've developed some interest in ACW, as a side product of this project, but compared to something like ECW, Roses or Napoleonics, its most def a mild interest for me.

    1. Thanks Matt. These are 100% finished and done. No more. Nothing! They've also completely filled the box, so adding anything else would mean having to buy another storage box :)
