I have already shown these on Curt's Analogue painting challenge. And time has come for me to put them on here.Yes we have 12 Confederate infantry to face of against the Federals I showed before the new year. Again Perry miniatures Plastics. With the Federals they all came from the same box. But they did dot seem to battle it out too much in the box and all were quite docile until I started to paint them.
The officer is the only one in full uniform as each of the others has at least one thing non standard on them. It could be Blanket, hat, socks, trousers, tunic or even haversack. I even took a scalpel to the odd knee and elbow on the figures to create rents and then made sure that most if not all had patches.This was deliberately done to give a rag tag campaign feel for a unit suffering supply problems. I am lead to believe this was the case for much of the war for some units particularly from the south. I wasn't there though so I can't be certain!Well that's just a quick catch up post. And I only have my GW genestealers now that went on Curts blog about this time yesterday. So I shall give them a little time before I put them on here.
So that's it for today. I hope to post next on Saturday. Until then I hope this year is working out for you.
All the best Clint
Top work Sir and more valuable points towards the tally.
ReplyDeleteThank you Michael. Every point I make takes me closer to my target.
DeleteGreat set of rebs Clint easily the match of your yankees.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe. Might have to think Cavalry soon.
DeleteThey have a very nice ragtag look to them. Most impressive, Clint.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mate, just the look I was trying for.
DeleteGreat job dude! Ragged ass rebels, very nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bob. I prefer campaign look rather than "Ragged ass!" but I'll take it.
DeleteGreat job done on them Clint and I like the butternut colour you have used. They have the right feel of Johnny Reb
ReplyDeleteThanks Petal. The butternut is Games workshop "Graveyard earth" lightened with white for highlights.
DeleteNicely done Clint, they look good, you even went that extra mile and did the eyes, OMG!
ReplyDeleteI always do eyes on 28mm figures, ay least when I can. (Not always possible but I do enjoy doing the eyes..... can't claim I always do a good job though.
DeleteCheers Extraordinarii
Great work here matey! Always love it when people go the extra mile to do some extra details here and there to make the story come alive!
ReplyDeleteWell the patches did mot take long at all. Thank you Kyle.
DeleteGreat looking rebels, really like the worn look to them
ReplyDeleteIan
Thanks Ian. I think the worn/campaign look particularly suits the rebs. I am glad you agree as well.
DeleteNice work Clint, I love the variety of colours used!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ray. While I am sure some Confederate units were supplied quite often (maybe not as often as they would want) I am equally sure that other units would have to scavenge the best they could. Hopefully it looks like that. But now as I look at them I should have added grass stains and dirt as well.
DeleteLovely work mate!
ReplyDeleteThank you indeed sir
