Guys, Did you know that Raven Banner Games sells "14mm" metal ACW packs that match well with Warlord's Epic ACW strips? Really useful are the new Union (kepi-only) command packs, or sets of Union standard bearers. Full Union based-units can be built from these infantry and command packs. They are single-cast figures, so mounting will require aligning each mini to match the Warlord strip-style lines. Still, I think this will be useful for dialing in the look of some infantry units, and a much cheaper way of getting packs of command or standard bearers, than with the price of Warlord plastic sets, or of their own metal command strips. Link here - link I've got all the listed sculpts, and they are good….yet to paint up some bases with them, but that's the plan!

How many figures are in the command and standard bearer packs?

79th, click on the pack's text, and it'll give you #s and types per. You may have to pester Stephen to make more ready for an order – but he's a good dealer (and supporter of the ACW Gamer community).

I see it. Thanks.

Thanks for pointing this out. A source this side of the pond is a good thing! Does the command set include a drummer?

Skedaddle, thanks for your comment. The command pack lists 2 musicians included, but I've actually not had eyes-on those sculps yet – expecting they're drummers.
