Here's a closeup... correcting a bit for my overexposed photos...  :-[



As an aside, I used to highlight black with umber and have now changed to Vallejo panzer grey.  It's a bit lighter and gives a nice effect.

A stunning army! Are the Boston Guard historically based or VSF inspired madness?  ;)

A bit of both...  o_o

A number of US cities had "Guard" militia units prior to the American Civil War.  New York, I believe, still maintains a ceremonial unit called "The Old Guard of New York City."

Cool. You should have gone with light-coloured jackets like the ones in the photos, Ray.

On the other hand they do have a certain "High School Marching Band" look about them, so perhaps it's just as well that you didn't.  :)

Those would be reserved for my "Egyptian/Altantians Empire".   ;D

Another splendid unit, Ray! I really like your creativity when inventing the units. And those practical headdresses, I just think about these guys fighting in jungles ...  :D

Quite beutiful unit!

Those blue-clad guys very beautiful!!

I am tempting to start my own greek VSF army, also clad in blues (Historically correct, with red piping for infantry) with green cavalry!

Very nice indeed Ray. I really must paint up more figures for my US forces (especially now that they have landed on Atlantis).
