TomL : Warlord Epic ACW Union Regiment (120 points)

Glad to be back participating in this entertaining challenge again.  Thanks to Curt and all the minions for all the work involved. 

New for me this time will be an ACW project. BruceR's wonderful work last year on his ACW epic troops inspired me to start my own Warlord Epic ACW project. As I tend to do, I went a bit overboard buying the Gettysburg set, Iron brigade and additional artillery from Old Glory.  Hope to make a big dent in my Gettysburg set this challenge while touring my way through Dante's Inferno via my 28mm lead mountain. As before I will do my best to include a female guide for each theme as I attempt to paint more of my Pulp Figures females.

This week’s entry will be a regiment of three stands of 20 men for the Union Army. I am planning on a few different shades of blue to differentiate units on the field.  First up is the 115 PA with Contrast Celestrial Blue and Briar Chill for the uniform coat & pants. Contrast Black, Foundry and Vallejo acrylics for the rest of the figure with a diluted Vallejo game wash to tie it all together.

 

 

 Points:

60 Epic infantry guys for 120 points.

It's great to have you back with us Tom and it looks like you have your work cut out for you this Challenge! This Gettysburg opener of a Union regiment is really terrific. Those two contrast shades have done the trick, especially the Briar Chill for the trousers. I know you want to try different approaches but you might be onto a great 'recipe' for the Union here.

I look forward to seeing what else you have in store for us this Challenge!
