Jon and I discussed this the other day. Union troops were usually outfitted better and the amount of farmer/cowboy hats seems out of place on my union side of the box-Mikey
While I agree, it's definitely a good starting point for a collection. No matter which box you buy of those guys, it's unbeatable in terms of price for quantity. Plus, in the late war, neither side really had a definitive uniform and tended to look quite a lot alike. Blue and gray coats were about all that separated them. Mikey and I have been doing a good job making them look pretty distinct, I think. Either way, I would wholly recommend buying warlord's line infantry and then supplementing them with whatever models you like. Hopefully in the next few days, we'll get our hands on the wave 2 stuff so we can review it for you! -Jon
I can't remember which size exactly it was, but it came from this pack right here: www.amazon.com/Miniature-Brushes-Paintbrushes-Watercolor-Acrylics/dp/B07GGC6GBC?pd_rd_w=dp1vR&pf_rd_p=5bc65336-a8b0-4888-9e70-4d4ce2f6bd59&pf_rd_r=8120NXJZKMJ7D5FK3EXC&pd_rd_r=94bca5a6-ad93-4524-a940-bcdb18d1af95&pd_rd_wg=AK0DX&pd_rd_i=B07GGC6GBC&psc=1&ref_=pd_bap_d_rp_5_t I hope that helps!! -Jon

Didn’t know I needed this.... but I did
Put your headset on, brush in hand and lights on, ready to paint!
Excellent tutorial . Very effective . Congrats from a new subscriber .
Your Confederates look great! Excellent painting tutorial.
Great tutorial and very helpful to me as painting up the boxed set of ACW is a soon to be started project!
I would love to get better at painting minis. And this was a great tutorial!
thank you very helpful
Good stuff, same way I paint mine, only difference is with the dip. I use Army painter strong tone.
Strong Tone is also a very solid choice! -Jon
Voila !
Warlord on the cheap thay should have at least had a union sprue & Rebel sprue

What colour is that thick mud, your fingers were covering up that part of the label and i like that shade.
The color number is 26.807 and the name is "European Thick Mud."

Very nice work, how did you bring out the eyes, face details?
Honestly it is all a matter of using "Agrax Earthshade" magic wash, all I had to do was using it straight from the bottle!
