The name IWG was adopted in the early 1980's in response to the then dominant Wargames Research Group, but things have moved on, and wargaming appears to be in somewhat of a Golden Age, so sit back and hopefully enjoy my rantings.

Louisiana Zouaves.
Anyway I have managed to paint up some more ACW figures, this time the 1st Louisiana Zouaves, which was a very pretty unit. I have actually a full brigade of units from Louisiana but havent completed the bases on the other two units yet. I have realised that the units I seem to select are determined by the prettiness of their flags or their dress.
One will notice that this unit does not contain a full 24 figures, this is down to my cheapness, by sticking the odd piece of Rendra fencing on the bases just to add some randomness.I also padded out the unit with some Perry plastic zouaves, which look pretty good.
All in all a nice regiment I think.
Hope everything is working out for Robbie. Nice painting as usual.
ReplyDeleteAlright Paul,
DeleteI really should start rebasing those great Hinchliffe SYW I got from you, they will look very impressive.
Much better than a "nice looking" regiment. It looks splendid! I, too, am attracted to units with pretty uniforms or flags!
ReplyDeleteJohnathon,
DeleteThere is definitely a bit of 'magpie' in me, I love colour in wargames units.
Very striking regiment indeed!
ReplyDeleteI need? to paint up a couple of Union zouave units to match them now.
DeleteVery nice unit. Obviously the start of a Confederate o-fence-ive!
ReplyDeleteThats not a bad pun Dave.
DeleteBeautiful Zouaves, and great bases...
ReplyDeletePhil,
Deletethe bases are really simple to do, and although they arent up to the Peter Gilder standard, they are effective. Thanks.
Lovely looking unit and nice full bases.
