My ACW army

[Deadestdai]

My friend convinced me to join him in an American Civil War project (15mm) with him choosing the side of the North and I the Southern rebels.

Our minis are based for both Regimental Fire & Fury and Longstreet (Our Longstreet "Grand Campaign" will begin next month.

In preparation, I've gotten the minimum 3 regiments of infantry, 1 of cavalry (Both mounted and dismounted) and a 3-gun battery of artillery painted up for our first game. I've also painted up a handful of generals and a divisional command stand for when we play Regimental Fire & Fury (Longstreet does not use them).

I've yet to receive my flags yet for these regiments and will post up a full army shot once they arrive.

1st regiment + a general


2nd regiment + no general


Divisional Command Stand


3rd regiment + a general


1st Artillery Battery


2nd Artillery Battery (I'll need it eventually)


A couple Brave Commander/Hero counters


My Cavalry - mounted


My Cavalry - dismounted (The bases have since been done)


A few more generals for fun


Will post more soon I hope! All comments and criticisms welcome!

Very nice work!

[Deadestdai]

Very nice work!

Thanks! I have 3 more regiments to paint up, won't get to them any time soon though as I've a mass of 28mm WW2 Soviets to tackle first.

Better pics as promised. This is the full starting brigade for a Longstreet grand campaign that a friend and I will be starting on Father's Day weekend (US Father's Day at least) next month. Dependent on my fortunes during our battles and post game the composition of this force will change greatly I'm anticipating.

Each side begins the campaign with 3 infantry regiments of 10 bases, 1 cavalry regiment of 8 bases and a 3-gun battery of artillery.

This fictional brigade is lead by the young dashing General Jean-Claude Pedisclaux of Louisiana, who with his father's impressive fortune has managed to raise two full regiments of infantry (3rd & 4th Louisiana Rifles). They are joined by the 12th Florida Line infantry, 26th Florida Light Horse "Cromartie's Cutlasses",  and a battery of cannons from the 12th Texas Artillery.

I plan to post some AAR's once we get our games in.

Very nice.
 

Inspirational too, as I am about to embark on my own CSA army soon.
 

[Deadestdai]

I'll keep an eye open for when you preview it then!

I'll keep an eye open for when you preview it then!

That has already happened, here: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=90310.0

I have yet to get any paint on the figures yet, though.
Just converted a few figures so far.
Hopefully the brushes will get an airing soon....

I will be taking on my own 15mm ACW army! These are a real inspiration! Good stuff!

[Sterling Moose]

Nice job, lovely looking unit.

[Gunner Dunbar]

These turned out great, very nice looking army.

[Kugelfang]

These look great! Very inspiring.

I'll be keeping an eye open to read your campaign adventures. Longstreet's one of the rule sets I considered when I started my ACW project. I haven't completely ruled it out, either.

Keep up the good work!

Such nice brushwork on such small figures!

[Deadestdai]

Many thanks to all that have commented and offered kind words! Have had some commissions to work through of late so time for painting on my own projects has been sparse to say the least of late.

With Father's Day being this Sunday, as part of the weekend being "Special" for me, my wife and son were cool with me buggering off tomorrow for a full day of ACW gaming with my mate Stew. So all these minis previewed here will finally get used on the tabletop.

Realised I had no reinforcements, so slapped some speedy paint on this lot and added some GMBDesign flags that recently arrived. Now I'm ready. I think.

That's a cracking army you have there, and as others have said the painting is impressive at that scale.

Lovely - looking ever so grand.
