I recently finished this unit (the one in front, the other was completed several months ago) I always use a very cheap light grey primer, followed by some base colors (Vallejo mostly) This time I wanted a unit that was mostly clad in butternut uniforms they were recently supplied with, so I used almost no grays. Painted the entire unit in a week. I used Army Painter Dark Tone and used a brush to apply it.

They turned out great. How big of a force are you planning?

Thanks! this is actually the 10th unit I've painted. So that's 240 Confederate infantry

and I've also done 6 reb cannon. I still plan to paint at least two regiments which will allow me to field 3 brigades in Black Powder. I also have 8 units of yankee infantry and six cannon

Wow. That should keep you out of trouble for awhile!

They look splendid, can tell some more about the grass mat where they are marching upon?

Nicely done tones, they look the part.

This is my progress since General Lee explained the Dip to me. (About 4 weeks ago).

I have about 16 more drying right now!

yep! you nailed it

I guess I'm obsolete now

they are great, gritty and battle worn. so you base them individually?

I love the way you base your figures. I am planning on ordering some 'movement trays' so I can use them for big battles.
