A recent issue of Wargames Illustrated came with a free sprue of Warlord Games' new range of 12mm plastic American Civil War figures. I couldn't resist painting them up as an experiment, as I had never before tried working with miniatures this small. More pics and info here: link

Nice painting – I believe arteis is in New Zealand, so the magazine probably took a while to get there… Mike |

Love the painting – but too small for my 15mm forces |

Beautiful paint job but another bizarre offering from Warlord. |

The painter did an amazing job painting them. They're not for me, but the ease of painting them on the sprue is appealing. |

Nice work. Years ago, I would have jumped at it. |

Jim;
Roly isn't under a rock…he's in bloody Kiwi-Land. Coriolis effect on the news and all. Probably knows what will happen next week before we do. And his painting is magnificent. Eric |

Ha ha, the 'rock' I was hiding under was spending the last two months painting a 70+ figure unit of 28mm 18th century Irish in foreign service ;-) This sprue had been sitting quietly on my desk, tempting me all that time! Last week I finally got to start it. Anyway, it was fun to paint and photograph, even if it is a scale I don't think I will do as a full project. And thanks for the correction on figure height – I will amend the blog posting. |

Must have been a big rock as these figures have been all over the news for a couple of months. I have a few of them in my painters block queue while I deal with some health issues. They'll be a great experiment. |

Have to say its a clever idea producing the figures so that they can be painted on the sprue! I'll be the first to admit I probably would not of thought of doing it that way though! |

Think they look great as Confederate but do not work for me as Eastern Theatre Union. |
| Trajanus | 03 Mar 2021 10:57 a.m. PST |
Yeah that's annoying. Although they are doing Zouaves and Iron Brigade, so maybe at some point all Cap wearing figures might appear. |

i just started painting my sprue. thanks for inspiring/intimidating me, they look great! |

Arteios, I like your small flags….them seem to help with the impression of "scale" |

Have you seen the prices they are asking for the resin additions? You can buy Kallista metals for half what Warlord is asking for resin. |
