From DaveD: ACW Union 10mm (210 Points)

I have completed the Union infantry brigade that was in the painting plan. That finishes up the 10mm stuff for this challenge (well there is one post to come later with them in , but they are painted waiting something to add to it).






So it is :-
mounted x 5= 10 points 
Infantry x 186 = 186 points 
Wounded x 8 = 4 points 

The 20 flags are by Pendraken .

The Union forces built up the last 3 challenges . Still some space for next year .
This keeps me nicely on track points-wise . 

Now it’s time to move on up a scale ...15mms next ... time for tanks .. lots of tanks ..., lots and lots of tanks.

More great 10mm stuff on display from Challengers today. Fine work here Dave - and yet more inspiration for my own stewing 10mm projects. I'm sure it's the same for other Challengers as well. Great work - nice pops of colour here and there on the minis, fine ground work and basing. Excellent stuff sir!

I am using my Minion powers to add an additional 10 points for flags, and the impression created by a mass effect photo. It's not like you need more points, but...wow, look at all of those troops! Great work.

And tanks? Lots of tanks? Bring it on! Can't wait to see them.

  1. Great looking feds Dave. Painting plan? Doing units in increasing order of scale? What madness is this?

  7. They look fabulous Dave (though that is a LOT of blue). I really like the basing you've gone with. What rules are you using for this lot?

    2. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on Pickett's Charge (not tried it myself, but I hear it's similar to General d'Armee).

  8. Cue recording of 'Ashokan Farewell'...

    "My Dearest,

    "It is very hard here at the paint bench. The Rebs continue their advance on the shed, and I am not sure how much longer my supplies of blue paint will hold out.

    "Please send more flock.

    "Your loving husband, David"
