10mm American Civil War Project

10mm American Civil War Project

My 10mm American Civil War project has been on the cards for a couple of years now. However I had to first construct the scenery that I would be using for the American Civil War project and secondly, I had to build a wargames table all of these have now been completed.

American Civil War Confederate Army.
American Civil War Union Army.


The rules I will be using are Black Powder and Glory Hallelujah! Black Powder Supplement.

The core of the army will be built using Pendraken Miniatures other manufacturers which I intend using are Blaze Away Miniatures which are now produced by Lancashire Games.

Preview, Glory Hallelujah

There’s not long to wait now, and those immortal words from Pickett ring around the Warlord offices as the staff are divided in their allegiances, and we prepare to wage war – with the much-anticipating coming of ‘Glory Hallelujah!’ – the American Civil War 1861 – 1865  supplement for Black Powder


December 2015

Soon to be released American Civil War supplement for Black Powder

I bought all the back issues of Charge

On 21 Dec i received my figures from Turbil Miniatures.

I received an e-mail from Turbil Miniatures last night to inform me that they had finished the last of my figures.

I received an e-mail from Turbil Miniatures today to inform me that my Union figures should be with me by the end of the week.  To be honest I feel like a small boy again waiting for Santa to come to say I'm excited is an understatement.

24 April 2015

I received an e-mail from Turbil Miniatures last night to inform me that they had started on my figures. I must admit I'm a little bit excited about this and can't wait to see the results.

10 April 2015

Like many other wargamers I'm nearly buried up to my neck in unpainted lead and never seem to be able to complete a project as I am constantly flipping from one project to another.

So I decided to hire a professional painter, to complete my ACW armies.  The service I settled on was Turbil Miniatures  which is run by a husband and wife team and they gave me an estimated turnaround time of 3 months.  They also said they would give me regular progress updates.

So my first job is to clean up the miniature's and then post them to Turbil Miniatures so they can begin painting. As soon as I receive a progress report I will update this post.

Pendraken Starfort all finished complete with British and American flags which Malcolm Taylor very kindly did for me. However as the fort is in British control I can't see it being captured by the American traitors.
