They are also based in strips of 4, but, unlike Baccus, each figure is facing along the strip, not across it. I estimate that I'm only going to be able to base c. 6 figures on my 40x20, not the 8 I can get from Baccus and they are going to be fiddly, as each figure needs to be cut off the sprue and glued down individually. That being said, the Baccus confederate infantry come in one marching pose, whereas the Adler figures I have are in various poses - advancing with bayonets, advancing with rifle across chest, advancing with shoulder arms and loading. There are also some strips with 2 figures firing and 2 figures advancing, which I'm planning to use, with loading figures, as skirmishers, and with horse holders as dismounted cavalry.<br /><br />I'll post some pictures of the first units as I get them finished.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />AndyAndy Canhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16100637417048895507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694384365798731751.post-66941057202858704072013-10-02T08:07:20.431+01:002013-10-02T08:07:20.431+01:00I'd be interested to hear how you find paintin...I'd be interested to hear how you find painting the Adler ACW vs the Baccus ACW you've already done, as you know I've struggled with Adlers Napoleonics but not had too much trouble with Baccus figures in uniforms.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />RichardRichard Naylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09411439028149060147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694384365798731751.post-72999234117109426062013-10-01T23:09:13.358+01:002013-10-01T23:09:13.358+01:00I can't quite do the Dr Evil laugh but yes, be...I can't quite do the Dr Evil laugh but yes, before you know it whole armoured divisions start clashing and the folding table gives way under the weight of lead. I'm currently basing some of the SHQ figures and prepping the first of the Adler ACW regiments ready forpainting so hope to have something by the weekend.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />AndyAndy Canhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16100637417048895507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694384365798731751.post-44920748821591533252013-10-01T22:46:38.315+01:002013-10-01T22:46:38.315+01:00I'm glad to see that I'm not the only warg...I'm glad to see that I'm not the only wargaming megalomaniac out there :-)<br /><br />Sounds like you picked up some good bargains, look forward to seeing your progress.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />Richard Richard Naylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09411439028149060147noreply@blogger.com
