Running behind my original rather optimistic painting schedule but I did manage to finish my first ACW unit - The 19th Indiana Volunteer Regiment. These are Warlord Epic resin Iron Brigade figures.
The command strip is a bit wonky as the flag bearers are on a separate sprue and are slightly larger. I cut the strip into 3 sections to line up the flag bearers. The figures have a lot of sculpted detail. Had to break out the Optivisor (with the newly attached LED lighting Christmas present) to pick out the details I did paint.
The single 28mm figure is a 3D print a friend asked me to paint up for our Alien RPG campaign. His inspiration for this character is a middle aged, midlife crisis Johnny Bravo, grinding away as your average ship’s mechanic.
I used a mixture of various manufacturers acrylic, GW contrast and washes. Quite a few stompy robots on the painting table but nothing finished in time for this week.
Points: 205
1x 28mm for 5 points
100x Epic 15mm at 2 points for 200 points.
============================
Sylvain: Your ranks of ACW soldiers look deceptively simple, but I shiver at the thought of painting all these figurines one by one, but you did it and did a great job of it. I will add 2 points for the flags. I also like the disgruntled look of "Johnny", your typical sci-fi blue collar. Joli travail!
Nice stuff Tom. I have explored the "Epic ACW" stuff, and just find it a touch infuriating to work with (I hate their command stands in particular), but you make it look sharp here.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. A decent price point though and they look good in mass.
DeleteVery nice work all around
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteAll nicely done.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I really like the Iron Brigade, they look suitably steady.
ReplyDeleteGreat work Tom. Excellent Iron Brigade. I delved into these last challenge and enjoyed the painting. Enjoy the mechanic as well.
ReplyDeleteAs I recall your epic ahpc entries inspired me to pick up the box set. Lord knows I would never finish all this in 28mm.
DeleteThe Iron Brigade looks really good, and I like Johnny too.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Johnny even lived through his first adventure. 😂

ReplyDeleteWell done on the Iron Brigade! I'm always tempted by anything ACW, but already have it in two scales.
ReplyDeleteNice work, I would have done the 15mm ACW if I didn't have loads of 28mm already.
ReplyDeleteThey look epic
ReplyDeleteGreat looking ACW types and nice space mechanic!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
