I recently ordered some Sash and Saber figures from Chris Hughes. Chris is a great guy and sculpts S&S when he has free time from his full time sculpting gig at Old Glory. I ordered a pack of mounted USA officers, Gen. John Gordon and three packs of the 14th Brooklyn (1x command and 2x marching). The figures arrived in about a week, well packaged and with no damage. I was impressed with the sculpts and the customer service and will be ordering from Sash and Saber again. These are really great figs and I rank them right up there as "tied for first place" with Perry Miniatures ACW. Here are some pictures:

| I painted these specifically for a game of "Across A Deadly Field" at Nashcon 2014. I was short a few officers! |

The Confederates look great, I think the Union General is to light of blue, perhaps a black wash may give a dark blue effect?...
ReplyDeleteI too have Sash and Saber, which are the best sculpts ever, Civil War mounted Generals, one day I will paint them up... which rules are you using for your Civil War gaming?
kind regards,
Phil
Phil, I do paint my Union figures a slightly brighter shade of blue. I think it looks better at a distance when gaming (the 2 foot rule). I generally use Johnny Reb 2 or Across A Deadly Field.
DeleteI love them Cory, and the dappled grey is just superb.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I had fun painting the horses!
DeleteVery nicely painted Cory.
ReplyDeleteDean, thanks - see you at Nashcon!
DeleteA superb command group all round with great painting, basing and sculpts.
ReplyDeletePat, thanks! Will you be painting any new ACW soon?
DeleteNice work Cory! Sash and Sabre do indeed make some nice figures.
ReplyDeleteChristopher
Great looking commanders!
ReplyDeleteNice work on all of these!
ReplyDeleteThe officers are really really great. The gray horses especially.
ReplyDeleteThese are good! And a nice change from the usual suspects
