Hi. Yup - they're not on the site yet. I'll post a photo of mine once they arrive.

Give them a call. They're very helpful and I didn't buy all they had in this new range.

Best, J

And for painting ideas may i sugest the very nice movie "RIDE WITH THE DEVIL"?
Lots of ideas both for painting and scenarios.

Thanks Rui. It does appear to be THE film

Thanks H.M.

I look forward to seeing your figures and I will contact Redoubt.

[Drums fingers waiting for figures from Redoubt ...]

And they're here. Neighbours took delivery yesterday

Fantastic looking figures, they'll paint up a treat.

Just the five Company D mounted bushwhackers to come in ..

And in the Company D boys come. Thank you Rui

Glad they arrived.
Now get to paint them and post here.

Finally got the first batch of these painted [I'll post a couple of photos later]

Without wishing to glorify anybody, I'm thinking about a three part scene based on the demise of Bloody Bill Anderson.

Scene 1 Surprise Attack - a small party of mounted guerrilla hunters shoot up Anderson's camp and head off at speed with the Bushwhackers in pursuit (11 Rep)

Scene 2 Ambush - the mounted BWs are ambushed by dismounted GHs. The BWs can either turn tail head back to camp or fight their way through and out the other side (15 Rep)

Scene 3 Do or Die! - Bloody Bill and any surviving BWs that made it through, charge back through the position of the earlier ambush (Anderson plus? v 21 Union Rep)

I need to think about the Cast etc

Nice ideas there.

If you dont mind here are two others.

Mounted Bushwackers assault a weapons deposit from the union and steal a wagon of weapons and supplies.

Counter scenario

A group of union (or Guerrilla hunters) catch up the fugitive BW´s and try to get back the wagon.

Bloody Bill, Black John and a couple of Border Ruffians shoot up the town ...

H.M.Stanley · « **Reply #28 on:** October 12, 2014, 06:36:19 PM »

A mix of Redoubt, Foundry and Company D figures.

Four more dismounted Bushwackers and seven mounted on the painting table.

Then onto a dozen Union Cavalry, both mounted and dismounted ...

Wow.

Really nice ones.
Keep it coming.
