Gordon and Hague ACW Miniatures Arrive

The troop shipment arrived today from Gordon and Hague. So far I've only opened the Union troops.

Approx $69 worth of Union Troops
I'm happy with my purchase. So far, I've only discovered two figures separated from the stands during shipping. I'm curious about the ACW flag sheet for $3.50, meaning the value of it. I'll wait til I attempt to raise them to make final judgement.

I can see adding a couple touches of drybrush, flocking, and magnets to the bottom.

This is a great chance to get into a new period while still keeping time freed up to paint my main focus, WWII.

I will buy more and look forward to the Gordon and Hague future releases.

  4. Linked here from your post on the HMGS/PSW mailing list and was altogether too excited about these figures. In fact, I then went and spent a TRIFLE more of my Christmas money than I planned taking advantage of their 45% off clearance sale on booster packs. I don't know whether to thank you or curse you! ;-)

    BTW, where are you located? I'm up in the Santa Clartia (CA) area. Will you be at the January Mini Wars convention?
