A Regiment of Rebels

A new "regiment" of rebels for the ACW collection.  Sash and Saber figures.  When painting a bunch of CSA troops I usually pick either a blue-grey palette (as these fellas use) or grey-brown palette (as the next batch will have).  That way I get some semblance of a uniform within a "regiment" but still get variety across the battlefield.

More US ACW Troops

 Another batch of US ACW figs for the growing collection.

First photo is the sky blue pants and exile blue tunics.


Next photo is the filler going down on the steel bases


And last photos are completed minis.  These are the first photo I've used with subjects under the new GameCraft Minis LED lamp.    The lamp can be used for painting also.  Main feature is "daylight" temperature of the light and the "arc" of light that reduce shadows.  $44 bucks.  I may get another one so I don't have to move it between painting station and photo station.

Spider Women and Serpent Women

 Painted up some fantasy figs.  Not sure of mfr for the snake ladies but the driders are from from Raging Heroes.  The driders were a real bitch to assemble with no assembly instruction so I just fixed the legs randomly.  In theory their were round and square pegs to aid assembly but the pegs were beneath the 3d print resolution so square and round look the same.  with enough super glue and RTV you can make anything stick!  body and legs of the driders were all airbrush and the serpent ladies were all ink and washes.

Russian Infantry Units

 Two Russian infantry units ready to fight.  Still need to add flags but these are the Odessa and Simbirsk regiments from the 27th Division.  The 27th fought at the Fleches at Borodino.  Normally not a problem with AB miniatures, but the advancing pose figures have fragile bayonets, so a drop of glue was added to the bayonet to hopefully help hold them on.
