The 'Old Toy Soldier' look is certainly fast! My version is not terribly authentic if compared to the real thing but I like 'em like they are.
This puts me back on track for the planned mix of Union, Confederate and ..."special" units which I abandoned in 2016 to make a plausible Western US army for a fictional clash on the Prairies.
The Fort Henry Guard officer has now been cast and work will start on them and then, finally, maybe, a game!
Good to see your progress on the Fantasian Troops - well done! It is a great feeling making the shiny new toys that you have done for yourself. Cheers. KEV.
ReplyDeletethanks Kev, it is.
DeleteYou say they're "Not terribly authentic" but they look pretty darn good to me!
ReplyDeleteMe too but there are several details 'not quite right', largely by choice.
DeleteMaybe they should be the Farmtasians. Nice looking group of Rebels.
ReplyDeleteor Finntasians? hmm
DeleteVery much in the spirit and lines of the set that inspired them. Nicely done!
ReplyDeletethanks Ed.
DeleteA ragged,down at heel unit ,great work. I think they very much have the toy soldier feel.
ReplyDeletethanks
DeleteGreat looking Rebs!
ReplyDeleteMerci Phil!
DeleteRoss Mac,
ReplyDeleteThese troops look suitably not-quite-uniform, and are ideal for representing members of a mainly militia army.
All the best,
Bob
Or seasoned veterans of a disbanded army!
DeleteThe thing about Union and Confederate troop types is that they are so useful in so many real and imaginary wars - and the not-quite-uniform look is especially useful for smaller nations.
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
DeleteDo these Fantasians have their own Fantasian Rebel Yell?
ReplyDeleteI believe it sounds something very like
