I finally finished off the base armies of my ACW project and thought I'd share some photos. They are loosely based around the battle of Gettysburg and I have been slowly plodding along with these for some time.
I still plan to add the odd element here and there such as a balloon element, a couple more hero elements from different battles and campaigns, etc.
I utillised the 'dip' method and originally planned to go with using 28mm bases as can be seen below below. I really like the look, but I decided not too as I would have had to buy more miniatures than I really wanted to.
First up is the Union Army.
The General -
The Infantry -
The Cavalry -
The Artillery and Sharpshooters -
Some HotT elements - J L Chameberlain (Hero) and Father William Corby (Cleric)
My Union Hero Element featuring Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain is based on the Don Troiani painting - Lions of the Round Top.
Next are the Rebs.
Robert E Lee is based on a washer and sits in a sabot base. This allows me to use him as a hero if I wish.
The Generals -
R E Lee
Other General
The Infantry -
The Cavalry -
The Artillery and Sharpshooters -
Some HotT elements - Cavalry with Sabres (Knights) I plan to replace these with miniatures of the 1st Virginia Cavalry. There is also a Sneaker element with Rose O'Neal Greenhow and her daughter 'Little' Rose and a Lurker element representing 'Mosby's Raiders.'
My Confederate Hero Element - Lewis Armistead
The Rebel camp -
House base very loosley on the Leister farm -
Thanks for taking the time to have a look.
