From ChristopherS: 28mm ACW Causalities 35pts.


Hello fellow AHPC participants it's nice to return after a couple of years off. It did feel odd not being a part of the event and watching from the sides so it's good to be back as it's tradition after all! Since I'm notoriously slow in getting entries in it's no surprise I'm slow in getting my first entry in.

I've decided to start off with some ACW casualty figures as they are very much needed, but haven't got to them yet for reasons unknown. These will likely be my first of two batches as I will need more.


The figures are from Redoubt miniatures which are probably my favorite ACW figures as they really do pack a lot of character and are very painter friendly. The figures are large so you really can't mix them with other ranges very well, but in their own units work great.

I can't say what I'll do next because even I don't know, but I have been keeping the ACW theme going pretty well this year so an odds on favorite that will likely be next. I can't even prep for the challenge, because in the past 70% of what I prepped went back in the box in favor of something else!

I think I just managed to slide under the door and get this in before Curt hands things off to his minions.

All in 28mm so that's 3 standing for 15pts. and 8 kneeling or lying for 20 pts. giving a total 35 pts. 

Happy New Year!

It's great to have you back with us Christopher! 

Great work on these casualties stands. I always enjoy your vibrant and saturated colour style and these don't disappoint. I look forward to seeing more ACW from you over the coming months.

Happy New Year!

    1. Thank you and yes I agree if your going to put effort into the figures you should put just as much into the bases as well.

  11. Good looking casualties, always in need in wargames. If I understood correctly, you have a lot primed, so lots to choose what to paint next! :)

    1. Thank you Teemu. Actually I said the opposite in that I don't prep figures, because I'm never sure what I'll do next. However I do have a lot of figures in the lead mountain choose from!

    1. Thank you kindly David! In addition to the character chunky sculpts are often easier to paint which is a bonus!
