First completed are four regiments of Confederate cavalry.
There are enough figures left over to make one more regiment, but I don't have any horse holders for them, so they will have to wait for a while.
When finished I will have two full brigades (nine regiments) of Confederate dismounted cavalry.
Now that is a nice presentation.
ReplyDeleteThanks Norm I liked the idea of some skirmishing vignettes. The previous batch I made the horse holders a detachable base (held to the front by magnets) but I abandoned that idea for there guys. The Union regiments are done now, just waiting for their bases to be flocked.
DeleteNormally I hate the idea of rebasing, but these look great Mark. A worthwhile exercise.
ReplyDeleteI agree rebasing can be tedious, but it is a good thing to do in down times. I rebased all my Napoleonic Prussians not long ago and it took a surprisingly short time...no more that three nights if I remember correctly.
DeleteVery nice Mark…
ReplyDeleteEveryone I know seems to have caught the rebasing bug…
Maybe it’s related to Covid 🤣😂🤣
All the best. Aly
OMG I hope not! If it became a pandemic the wargames figure manufacturers would be driven out of business. And could you imagine the severity of the lockdowns!
DeleteThis is s very interesting basing scheme for dismounted cavalry. I like it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan. All too often householders get left off the table in the heat of gaming. This at least ensures that they do make it to the table and that the investment is not wasted. The Union boys are all done now and will be posted later in the week.
DeleteVery effective Mark and a great way to use your spare time whilst you await new orders. In my games I have a few horses that sit to the rear on seperate bases, to indicate that the troops are dismounted.
ReplyDeleteGod - you must be bored if you are rebasing, Mark! Just kidding - sort of! These mini diorama-like bases will certainly look great in action.
ReplyDeleteGreat look. Hoping to see the northern side soon.
ReplyDeleteThe bases of the Union boys are all done now, just need to find the time to take some photos...maybe Friday.
DeleteCame out really well. I like the idea of having the horse holders on the same base. I might look into that... if I ever get any ACW cav. 😁
ReplyDeleteThanks. I think this is an effective way to display the horse holders without going over the top.
