Warlord Games - EPIC ACW - Little Fix

In my last post I mentioned the left flank figure on the command strip whose rifled musket projects over the end of the stand when they have been clipped to 55mm and can interfere with the placement of a neighbouring stand.

You can see it here:


Or more clearly here:


I separated the endmost two figures, swapped them around and glued them in place. like this:


I let you know what they look like when painted.



Warlord Games - EPIC ACW - Work in Progress

It is not as if I haven't been busy but I feel as if I haven't got much done. Life has been full of home decorating issues, new gas boiler, X-Ray visits, ECGs, Vaccination visits and a Birthday to boot.

I have got somethings done and here they are.

Kallistra 12mm Confederate Cavalry, mounted.  I bought 2 packs and borrowed a few figures from a command pack giving me two cavalry units, 20 strong each and foot command figures left over for £15. Go compare that with the Warlord price. Maybe slightly heavy on the yellow facings and lace but they are what they are. I have clipped the Warlord 60mm wide bases down to 55mm.

Flags, gravel, flock, static grass and tufts will follow in due course.


Kallistra 12mm Confederate Cavalry, dismounted and with horse holders. £10 buys a pack of dismounted cavalry and a pack of 'empty' horses with lots of unused figures. I might add more horse holder bases once we start playing.


Five bases of Warlord infantry painted as Union mounted on cutdown 55mm wide Warlord bases.


Note the rightmost front rank figure pose projects into the neighbouring base. I may have to do something about that.


The mounted Warlord General, you get one with each infantry sprue.


Two Warlord resin command figures. I replaced the standard pole with a piece of wire.


Three Kallistra Mounted Generals (half a £5 pack). My mate has the other three (Confederate).


A size comparison, three Kallistra to the left, three Warlord to the right.


Kallistra (12mm) dismounted cavalry to the left, Warlord (13.5mm) infantry to the right.


Just another 30 sprues to get painted.

What do you think guys?
