Scourge of War Boards

This time with 1st maryland,

Sweet! I need to get some of these rendered out for when we switch to models.

Fantastic Gunfreak! You've come a long way with your skills.

I just can't get over the detail. They look great!

You have to love the Virginia Militia...that is what my multi-great grandfather, his father and his father's brother and nephew fought in during the first War of Independence!

Nice models!

This one will be picture heavy.
First up is the 2nd maryland in the historic correct brown coats faced red(I think)
This was my first unit of sash and saber and after doing 3 units of front rank they were quite diffrent, while front rank is the Perry or AB of 40mm AWI, while S&S is Old Glory, they actualy look alot like S&S 28mm figs, same herroic anatomy and possison, but I shouldn't be to hard on them as I think is was one of the very very first figs in 40mm by S&S, but even other figs like British or militia are far far from Front Rank, just to use one exampel, on FR british you can actualy paint the lace, by that I mean you can paint just the lace and leave a little of the faceing color in the middel, while on S&S the lace is just a bump to paint. Thats said, they do paint up nicely and look good on mass.

Here they are, most of them in brown regimental coats, and a few in hunsting shirts, there do have some weried anatomical odities, and very very animated faces.
As you can see, on mass the look good, but as you get closer and closer the diffrence in quality is quite evident.
And I realy have to think hard if I want to buy more, 40mm is expencive, and I just don't want a big 28mm, I want something that justifies the expence, FR does that, so far S&S dos not.
I have orderd some hessains from trident and will teste them out when they get here,
Then I have to wait for highlanders in kilt from either trident or FR.
But that still leaves 2 units of militia, that I either have to get from trident or S&S,







Next up is the maryland brigade, 1st and 2nd maryland, blue and brown coats both faced red.
They are command by Mordecai Gist and will be the elite backbone of the american army, after the british has tired them self out with the milita, they'll have to fight these guys, or they might be sent to a flank that needs some muscles.

In total 43 figs with command, only 5 more brigades to go.

We really need a mod that does the sprites to look like your soldiers

I think you should just cancel the whole gettysburg game, and make an AWI game instead, :laugh:


Here's the 33rd regiment of foot and websters brigade









And here's some tableshots

You hand painted all of those?
