14th Brooklyn - 28mm Sash & Saber

Here is the newest unit off the painting table - the 14th Brooklyn, or the "Red Legged Devils". These were a joy to paint and are excellent Sash and Saber castings by Chris Hughes. In a rush to get some additional units completed for Nashcon, I  painted just two stands of the regiment for a game of "Across A Deadly Field" (10 figures). The remainder are on the painting table right now. Here is a link to some information on the unit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/14th_Regiment_(New_York_State_Militia)

 Here are a few shots:

The 14th Brooklyn advance! 

When it comes to gaming, I prefer thick bases so that the gamers have something to grab besides the figures. 

The 14th holds a fence line. 

Like most freshly painted units, these guys routed in their first game! 

28mm Sash and Saber ACW Mounted Officers

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:

The five mounted officers -  I ordered pack OUS20 - Mounted USA General Officers (4 figs). I painted them as CSA officers, except for one. Also pictured (left) is OCS1 - Gen. John Gordon.

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

Another  mounted officer. I'm not finished with the 14th Brooklyn, but I'll post some pics as soon as I finish. Now I'm off to work on some terrain for the Nashcon game!
