First Glimpse of the Iron Brigade


In order to keep me motivated when I'm so close, but yet so far, I decided to take a couple of shots of the assembled Iron Brigade thus far.



Here are all the boys, two regiments in firing line, three regiments in march, one squadron of cavalry (both mounted and dismounted), plus my command base and a few casualty markers. 173 models in all.


And here's a closer look at the last regiment to be finished, sandwiched in between the only two completed units ; )

Only a month to go!

Cheers
Dave

    They look fantastic! Really good work!
    I'm slowly amassing forces for Miner Creek, a late war battle with lots of cav out west. I keep on getting distracted by infantry though.

      Thanks David

      Cavalry can be a tough slog, with all that extra work on the horses and having to paint up a dismounted version for ACW too. Best of luck with your project!

      Cheers

    What a superb Brigade this is going to be. Lovely conversion and painting on these Dave. I look forward to see pictures of them in action.

    Really really nice, Dave.

    Are you including artillery?

      Thanks Don. I had originally planned to add a gun to the brigade, but the other Union players are all bringing two (or more) guns each to the party, so it has moved onto the backburner until after Adepticon.

      Cheers
