ACW Confederates


So after spending my evenings away at work painting, I spent some evenings at home basing.  Here is my 10mm Confederates, there are 7 units of foot and 2 batteries of guns.


They are based on 30mm x 30mm and I intend to use them for Black Powder, apparently there is going to be a proper ACW supplement.
I also have the option of using them for Sam Mustapha's new 'Longstreet' rules but I don't know much about them yet but it appears that the 'unit' could be quite large, so we shall wait and see.



These miniatures are all Pendarken and are just fantastic, I could not recommend them highly enough.


The painting method is quite basic, they were sprayed Army Painter Uniform Grey, then the details and  other uniform colours were added.  They were then given a coat of Army Painter 'Dark Tone' wash.
Once they were based and flocked they were given a spray coat of Army Painter 'Anti-Shine' varnish.  The combination of the wash and the varnish should also give them plenty of protection.


Obviously I still have the flags to add but that will be done once the army is completed.
I have now purchased enough metal for the rest of the army and will be working my way through them 
whilst I am away.

As always comments more than welcome, good or bad! lol
