The 2nd Arkie

It’s a bit of an Arkiegamerapalooza around here, with two posts in one weekend.

I’ve finished my second regiment of Confederate infantry-these guys are (obviously) in a marching pose. I’ve also pimped my bases with kitty litter boulders and stones. I think they might be a bit much-most of these battles occurred in pastures and cultivated fields, after all. As an aside, nothing soaks up a wash like kitty litter. I suppose that’s a rather obvious point.

All figures are AB.

I must now face the sad fact that there’s no way I’m finishing four regiments by the end of November.

In a bold painting leap, I've begun to add facial hair to some of my figures.

Note the strategically placed coffee mug I acquired from the battlefield down the road?

This would be an extended line formation, in Regimental Fire and Fury. At least I think that's what it's called.
