I had a full day's painting session yesterday,and completed 2 full sprues,one Union and one Confederate-I am quite pleased with the result.taking into considerstion that I haven't the skill to paint fine detail onto figures,and invariably just paint over them!-I did find that I had a considerable learning curve to overcome,but sorted it out in the end.One minor "gripe" is that the flags provided,in my opinion, are too small,so I went onto the "Warflags" site,down-loaded their 28mm flags,and as per instructions,reduced them to 62%,and they look fine.......................
The regiments-Warlord use 5 companies to a regiment,but I'm using each company as a regiment,giving me 60 regiments per side!!-we will be able to field massive games when all complete,remembering that Brian has also bought the same amount ! plus he has a Brigade of Zouaves-that's another 15 regiments!!!!-In the photo you can see the "new" flags that I down-loaded.
Sounds like we’re talking corp level games? I’d not noticed but you’re right the epic flags do look small. Good decision and easily remedied. Warflags is a greeeeeeat resource for our hobby and if anything I prefer oversized flags
ReplyDeleteHi Chris,I've painted 40 "regiments" so far and the flags really make them stand out!
