Union Artillery

More artillery for the big game. This time it is Kent's wargame figure painting machine at it again.

Perry's figures, painted up beautifully and based to perfection!






Thanks Kent for the wonderful photos of these beasts!


Happy New Year everyone!

Rebel Artillery

The first glimpses of some Rebel artillery have come in. These wonderful looking pieces are from Russell Briant and they make up Johnson's divisional artillery for our Gettysburg game.



The flag is a nice touch Russell!



Some Union artillery on it's way very soon!!!

A growing tide of blue!

The Union army keeps on growing. This time it is due to Kent and his brushes. 20 stands of very well painted figures on wonderful looking bases.

Kent has made several posts on his own blog covering the painting of these guys from start to finish. Here is the link to these chaps with a few more photos,

Figures are a mix of Perry plastics Perry metal and Sash & Saber miniatures
the flags are from free warflags.

The Stonewall brigade commanded by Brigadier General James Walker at Gettysburg.

Some more very fine painting from Russell.









A great boost for the Army of Northern Virginia!

Next up is some photos of Kent's rapidly growing Union army and I have just received some photos of Russell's artillery.

Very nice work here Paul.

This is starting to look rather one-sided.          Where are all the Rebels?????

Union Artillery.

Just a couple of guns along with their crews that I painted up a year or so ago.  As I am doing Confederate troops for the Gettysburg game these will be the only Union artillery that I will do. My next lot of guns will be Rebel ones.

These guys are from Foundry .



Just over 200 days to go!!!!

I know there are a lot more troops that are painted up and going to be at this game. Please let me know you totals for the points! and photos too if possible.

Nick Garden has emailed some more to me tonight and these will be posted soon.

Another Union unit ready to fight.

Nick Garden has sent in this photo of his recently finished unit.


Here is what Nick had to say,





Flags are a temp measure till I get my order.

My camera and lighting is poor but here is: III Corp, 2nd Division, 3rd Brigade. 5th, 6th and 7th New Jersey Regiments.

Great work on these guys Nick. 


If anyone else has some photos of their ACW troops for this Gettysburg game please send them in.

Chris tells me that he has nearly got the list ready to post!!! 

I will put it up on the blog as soon as I get it!
