Must be time for Kevin to put out a newsletter tutorial on painting these?

Kevin Dallimore has finished the 79th New York (Highlanders) Regiment. A tremendous paint job.

Fantastic as always.
Now what is this whole life of mortals but a sort of comedy, in which the various actors, disguised by various costumes and masks, walk on and play each one his part, until the manager waves them off the stage?

This is it, the very last regiment of the project.

The regiment here is the 27th Virginia. It's the fifth regiment of Jackson's Brigade. I've used Perry Miniatures dressed in the early war uniforms, carrying the first Confederate National flag and the flag of Virginia. The painting is a mix of me and Artmaster Studios. (I started painting, lost the bug so got Artmaster to finish off so I can get on playing).

What I want to do is refight the battle for Henry Hill at 1st Bull Run, where the Jackson's Virginians stood like a 'stonewall' to stop the Union advance, and fresh Confederate forces rushed up to turn the tide in the Rebs favour.

The aim of the project was to add a number of the uniquely uniformed regiments to the Union and Confederate forces I've already got to give the game a 1st Bull Run feel.

That's it's 5 different Reb units (The Stonewall Brigade) and 6 different Union units.

I'll add some pictures of the game when I get going.

The new advancing Crusader ACW paint up very nicely, I am doing some for my ACW forces and a couple for a friend’s Dracula’s America Dark Confederacy force.
