Additional Battalion Commanders

I am out pf 25mm ACW minis! I have gotten down to the random bits and spare officers. I made 2 more Federal officers stands and 2 CS outof the left overs. As always I must apologize for the poor image quality. Sadly I have yet to upgrade my camera! Below is General Asboth of the Western Theater. Below that, another 'yet to be named' officer.


I am heading off to Cold Wars this Friday so I expect to have plenty more to paint soon enough.

The 2 CS command stands were made from left over figures and 2 single mounted officers I had lying around.



The one below is a mix of old Glory and Redoubt. Next up is the commander of my 4th CS Battalion. This officer is an old style Old Glory figure. Judging by the casualties he's obviously in the thick of the fight!



Lastly, my friend and fellow gamer launched a blog recently showcasing his collections and newly constructed wargame room! Take a look as Lord Ashram's House of War. Featuring 25mm Nappies, 15mm ACW, and much more to come...

Dogs of War

After reading up on Civil War mascots, and being a proud bulldog owner...



I decided to add a dog to each of my ACW forces. Below is General Asboth with "York" and below that "Grace" with an officer of the 1st Maryland Artillery.

Battlelinescenics (Mark Fenlon ACW 28mm)

I ordered some of the newly revived line of Fenlon minis. BattlelineScenics bought the Mark Fenlon line and are now selling minis. I ordered several zouaves and the Gettysburg CS P.O.W.s. The figures were very clean and the metal a good quality. I highly reccomend the line. The site is still under conctruction but if you email them they will send you a price list and photos.

25mm ACW blacksmith and forge

Here are some pics of the support for my federal artillery train, caissons to come. I picked up the Old Glory french Napoleonic forge set and converted the minis with some heads cut from Sash & Saber minis. I think they came out fairly decent...

Here are 2 shots of my newest US and CS battalions. I still have to paint the command staff and will get some more pics up soon.
