6mm Confederate Infantry

It took a month, but I was able to finish these 448 figures.  We have here sixteen brigades of Confederates, enough to play my Shiloh scenario.

I painted these in two tones, shade and highlight.  The uniforms are a mixture of greys and butternuts.







Here is the complete Confederate army!

    1. Thanks, Phil! I'm not sure about the mass effect, as 28 figures per brigade is LESS than we manage with good ol' Fire and Fury, but I do like painting these.

  2. Lovely job. 6mm is a fantastic scale with which to achieve a mass effect.

  3. They look EPIC! Great density of units on the bases, plenty of variation in the uniforms. Painting 6mm like this takes a high level of artistic skill. Beautiful force.

    1. Thanks, AJ! I am pleased with how they turned out. I got them to look mostly grey, but with enough variety to look like Confederates!

  4. 6mm.......come on Scotty!! I'm starting to think about 54mm.
    Seriously though, you've done a fantastic job with this lot and as mentioned 6mm really does give an impression of grand battles. EPIC indeed.

    1. 54mm would be great for playing in the back yard, but my knees couldn't take it!

  6. Those are amazing, Scott. I can't imagine putting that much detail in so cleanly in that scale.

    1. Thanks, Dean. It was not too tough, really. The smaller size makes mistakes easier to hide!
