Tuesday TomL, Limbo and more Union ACW troops - 190 points

This weeks entry starts me off in Dante’s ‘Divine Comedy’ with the first circle of the Abyss - Limbo.  Introducing these lost figures is our guide from the Gangland Gals set from Pulp Figures. Painted using the reaper brown triad & black glaze, Foundry skin tones, contrast paint base colours with some Foundry highlights.

 These figures (ARC Astronauts & Armed ARC Astronauts) from Crooked dice were from picked up in 2020 and cleaned and prepped for painting for a pulp project I started in late 2023.  That project was totally derailed by my enthusiastic wandering through the AHPC-IV library in 2024.  Only fitting we pull these back from the shelves and put some paint on them for the Limbo entry. Painted using contrast paints for the uniform with TTC and Vallejo paints for other areas. You might have a feeling of Deja vu as you look at the last picture as I bought two of the same set of astronauts in the same purchase. Ah well...




 

Continuing on with my ACW project, here is another ACW Union infantry regiment - The 115 Indiana Regiment.  

 

 
Originally I was planning on painting 6 Union Regiments of infantry then start in on the CSA.  I’m rethinking that and will begin preparing the next two regiments as CSA regiments.  Here are the three Union regiments I have completed so far (the 20th Maine was painted before the AHPC). 

Limbo entry - 20
10 28mm figures @ 5 pts each  - 50
60 epic figures @ 2 points each - 120

Points for this week:    190

Quite the menagerie Tom - I love the diversity on your painting table! 
Looking forward to seeing what next week throws up from you :-)

  8. Nothing like an astronaut with a weapon. Especially a rocket launcher. Like, what could go wrong?

    More fine work on the ACW "Epic" range too - you have a great colour mix there.
