Sash and Saber 28mm Confederate Infantry

Here are my completed Confederate infantry regiments for Guns at Gettysburg. All figures are Sash and Saber. With 40 different poses in their marching regiments, I was able to field two varieties of 20 man regiments with no duplicate poses.






I have five each of these regiments, for a total of ten regiments in all. That's 200 close-order infantry to go with the 40 skirmishers I already painted.





I'm very happy with the Sash and Saber figures. I researched this project thoroughly before I ever started it, and I thought the S&S line really had the look I wanted. By keeping to a palette of grays, browns, and butternuts, I was able to get the motley look of rebel infantry while not going overboard with weird colors.

  2. It is great to see these through to completion. You'll have to take lots of picture when you finally get these on the table for a battle!

  4. Lovely painting! S&S did well; 40 different marching poses is very impressive.

  5. Fantastic. I bet the 40s look even better in person than they do over the net.

  6. I think these figures are great. I haven't painted 28mm figures in years and these images have inspired me to start an army using S&S miniatures. Interresting to note that you use Guns of Gettysburg rules I was planning on using these myself. What are your impressions of these?
