A few of us have started working on ACW forces for Sam Mustafa's forthcoming Longstreet game. Although, I plan to also use them for other systems as well. This is a new scale and period for me but so far I have been enjoying painting these figs. I'm not the greatest painter but I'm slowly getting better. Pendraken have had a few orders from me though and likely will have more.

I started with a sample base- to see how things went and I think that was ok - you can see a sample below:

I have more pictures and comments on my blog here: https://mellis1644.wordpress.com/2013/02/25/acw-10mm-confederate-infantry-test-base/

This last weekend I passed the 30 base level - so 3 decent units and added another blog entry on those here: http://mellis1644.wordpress.com/2013/03/24/first-confederate-units/. Again there are more pictures and comments on my blog. However, so far these seem to be coming out nicely and are not too difficult to paint. Below is sample picture of my first 3 units:


I'll do some more grey units but I'm also planning some more butternut/yellow coloured ones as well eventually.

Loving the ragged reb look, I had something similar in 6mm albeit with a slightly more uniform look.

You can't beat rebs en-masse when you're going for the epic charge.

Good stuff

Cheers

Looking good!   

Nicely done 

Rather superb - if doomed - charge!

Love the massed ragged look, too. 

Would love to create that look with Napoleonic skirmishers -- hint, hint, Pendraken. 

Looking good!

Very nice indeed !
Cheers - Phil

Lovely!!

Nicely done and troops look suitable ragged and aggressive

Excellent first post!  As everyone else has said, very nice work 

Cheers,

Love the look!   A tribute to figure sculptor and painter both. Look forward to watching your progress on Longstreet!

Agreed with the others on the massed, ragged look to the lines . Keep up the good work!
