Painting Update this week

Sadly we had to postpone a planned ACW on Friday but another one hopefully planned for tomorrow. Anyway as we pack for our holiday I have been using spare time to crack on with some painting.

American M8 for my US Sicily forces, Warlord model, plastic picked up I think at Partizan last year ?
A new unit of Rebel Militia, in shirt sleeves to add some variety, these are Perry I think and really lovely sculpts, plenty of well defined details. The command group had two flag carriers so I have split them up to give me some options.
Some late Roman heavy cavalry, I’m not sure of their specific name possibly Clibinarii ?I had a few of the yellow shield transfers so thought I would use them up and they are just about ok at a distance. Some of these were repainted to give a full unit. I need to add some more infantry for the late Romans next.
With the ACW on my mind I thought I would spend a couple of days prepping ALL the remaining ACW cavalry I have in the ‘plastic mountain’……quite a lot !

Finally for a quirky last note here is the ‘giants grave’ from our local church yard
It is something of a fake but is quite famous locally

That’s it for now, thanks for checking in, I’m off to set up for tomorrow’s ACW battle

  1. Many, many great painted minis.
    Love the militia, cavalry and M8.
    I didn't know they already had them at their disposal during operations in Sicily.

  3. Matt, you are really keeping yourself busy on the painting front. Super looking models all. If only you tracked your production, you might put us all to shame. Enjoy your trip to America!
