My 10mm ACW 150th Project, ongoing thread W/photos

[crancko]

i love it!

[Bernie]

Very impressive terrain - liked the fencing a great deal

Are you just doing the Union right hook or are you doing the fights/demonstations at the fords as well?

Phase one of my Civil War project has officially come to an end. It took me eleven months to paint the 1500 figures that I needed to game the battle for Henry House Hill. The game went well and I should have some photos from the game posed soon. In the meantime I have some photos of my completed armies. You can see them here: http://btsherman.6sided.net/2011/10/04/american-civil-war-project-phase-1-completed-2/
In the future I’m hoping to at least double the size of these armies but first I need to get some cavalry painted for both sides.

Happy Gaming

Excellent Bryan - looking forward to seeing the battle pics; some good advice on staying focused there too!

[Luddite]

Those are some VERY pretty toys there old chap.

What rules did you use?  Fire & Fury?  Johnny Reb?

[MooseDontBounce]

I played the forces of all that is good and right against the godless, commie, South.

I won't steal Bryan's thunder but I will say it's going to be a long war.

I'll post my thoughts after his battle report.

2012
_______________________

2012 is here and its time to begin phase two of my 10mm American Civil War Project. Last year I was able to paint just fewer than 400 bases of infantry (1600 figures), 30 artillery bases and various commanders. My main goal for this year is to double the size of my armies. With that in mind my goals for 2012 are:

1.Paint 200 bases (800 figures) of Union infantry
2.Paint 200 bases (800 Figures) of Confederate infantry
3.Paint 30 bases (90 Figures) of Mounted Confederate Cavalry
4.Paint 30 bases (120 Figures) of dismounted Confederate Cavalry
5.Paint 30 bases (90 Figures) of Mounted Union Cavalry
6.Paint 30 bases (120 Figures) of dismounted Union Cavalry
7.Paint 10 bases (40 figures) of Union Artillery
8.Build/Paint 6’ of entrenchments
9.Game 15 battles from 1862.
These goals are somewhat aggressive and a lot depends on when Pendraken starts to releases their new range of figures. If I can meet or come close to meeting these goals, I will feel like I had a productive year. My plan is to post monthly updates on my progress here, so be sure to check back.

This project ROCKS!!! I love the close ups of the painted figures too and the info on terrain etc. A lovely blog!

[Leon]

Cool, I'll be keeping an eye on this.  The new ACW's should be hitting the website in the May Releases hopefully, cos I want to take some along to Salute as a preview for folks.

Leon,
No hurry, I have a ton of stuff from the current line that I want to paint before I tear into new stuff.

I must say I admire your single-mindedness, Bryan. Tackling such huge batches must take real determination. Must admit I find one unit at a time as much as I can manage.

Bisherman, that' really nice work, like me you're a man who puts as much effort into the terrain as the figures. Can you tell me what the green cloth or drape is, it looks really good.

Cam,

Someone seems to have hacked your e mail and is spamming various Yahoo groups with it.
