Battle of Mill Springs

[Oathman]

Hi all

I am in the process of painting up some regiments for this battle. The battle for Mill Springs is a battle during the American Civil War. I have started with the confederate 15th Mississippi regiment. Well here are some pictures anyway. The miniatures are for the most part Pendraken but I have also put in some miniatures from another company to get some variation. I still have the bases to do and some matt varnish... and do not forget the Banner!
The pictures are not that good since I don't have camera, but I ail try to take better pictures later on.





Please feel free to visit my blogg about this project at http://theforlornedice.blogspot.se .

Regards/

Welcome to the Forum Oathman. Lovely paintwork on those figures. You may be interested in two articles on Mill Springs in issues 28 and 31 of Charge magazine. They are only $2.99 to downloqd from Wargame Vault. Issue 28 presents it as a Johnny Reb III scenario whilst issue 31 is presented as a RF&F scenario. Both are very detailed. To get to the relevant part of the Wargame Vault site type in Johnny in the search box on their home page. Best of luck with your project.

For someone without a camera, they're very good pictures.

Well I´m back!

This time I have painted up the 19th Tennessee infantry regiment for the Mill Springs project. The miniatures are a bit shiny since I have gloss varnished them. The matt varnish will be applied when the bases are done. Now I will do the 20th Tennessee regiment with 6 bases. I will also paint the brigade officer that in this case is Zollicoffer who was killed during the engagement at Mill Springs. I have also put on a flag on the 15th Mississippi.

Here are some pictures of the new regiment:


And here is a close up on one base:


Many painters start off with the skin color on there miniatures. I always make that the last paint i put on (except for metal...) I enjoy the POP that happens when the skin tones are painted. From a more mediocre paint job the miniature comes to life an start look like a soldier.


And here is a picture with the skin painted:


Here you have the flag for the 15th Mississippi:


Well that was all for now. Please fell free to visit my blogg and leave a comment. The blogg will be about ACW wargaming in large but for the moment mostly Mill Springs and 10mm wargaming set in the ACW.

In this tread all strange things will come forth. I have a nasty plan in store and will set it in motion next week, or... well I will make the first orders for some miniatures anyway
