Just an aside, I got some Company B Bush whackers painted up to use as my Confederate cavalry. I really like 'em.

Those look great Nick!!

I do like whacking some bush in the morning.

Grimjack set up a second game refighting Antietam this evening. This time the Bloody Lane.

Johnny Reb beat off Billy Yank.

I heartily concur with both points....the Company D figures are awesome and who doesn't enjoy the occasional whacking of bushes?
Now listen to me you benighted muckers. We're going to teach you soldiering. The world's noblest profession. When we're done with you, you'll be able to slaughter your enemies like civilized men.

In anticipation of playing Black Powder, I got someone to paint me a bunch of generals. That's DH Hill on the far right, the main man for my Confederates.

Expecting a unit of Union Cavalry from painter Graham Birkley, and I'm going to finish painting the 2nd North Carolina this weekend. The 2nd NC is the last unit to make up Anderson's Brigade, defending the right side of the Sunken Road.

That 'might' be it for the project, except the barefoot figure I showed you on the 13th is being moulded right now. That was made to add colour to the Irish Union brigade, so I've got to have them done.

I might take some of the barefoot figures to paint up one last ragged Reb regiment, Cobb's Legion.

Fair play, you have burnt through this project at a rapid rate of knots, it's the way to do it.

I wish my projects would zoom along like this! It's been marvelous to watch.
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

There's something wrong with me, I've never done this before either. Maybe I'm in some time and space distortion where anything ACW runs at a different pace  lol

Never heard of the "Company D".   ::)  These look good.  Any larger photos?  Ones on the site are OK, but not brilliant paint jobs.
And how are they size-wise compared to other manufacturers?

Took a couple of pics with my phone next to a Perry Mins for comparison.

I wanted them because originally I was going to go for a ragged Rebs in civilian clothes look to the army, and I knew about these figures. Strictly speaking they are Westerners, Missouri Bush Whackers, inspired by the film Ride with the Devil, but I'm happy to have them in my Eastern armies.

A great addition to your collection!
