28mm Perry ACW Union
Have my first lot of ACW Union troops ready to go. Minis mostly from the ACW starter box, with some of the ‘Union troops in sack coats skirmishing’ kit mixed in. Tried a few different techniques on this one, with mixed results. It’s all a learning progress regardless so I’m happy enough with them. Core force for Sharp Practice which I can add to later when I get around to it.
Recipe was (over a white primer) VMC Andrea Blue on the trousers, VMC Prussian Blue for hats and coats, Black on ammo pouches, boots, equipment etc, VMC Cavalry Brown on the drums, VMC Pastel Blue on the canteens, VMC Deck tan on the canteen strap, VGA Mahogany on the rifle barrels, VGA Sand Ivory highlighted with VMC Deck tan on the blanket rolls, VMC Brass and VMC Oily Steel on their respective metal bits. Flesh was GW Contrast Guilleman Flesh. Black ink wash followed by a top down drybrush with VMC Deck Tan. Simple flock mix on the base with grass/flower tufts for the command minis to call them out a little.
