I have painted up several of the Roman generals I received last week and added the mounted generals I already had to the bases. These mounted generals are really nice figures.

I was able to pick up some Perry metal figures of the Iron Brigade. These are the only metal ones in my collection apart from my wagons and caissons. I really like the look of the groups formed in a firing line.
This group has 24 soldiers commanded by an officer and a sergeant.
I am replacing my stand-in Greeks that I modified to be Roman cavalry with the real deal. The shields are different, as are the spears. The 16 figures in the pack was perfect for what I needed as I have four legions in my army.

I just finished my latest commission of 48 Templar Knights on foot. They were a little fiddly to assemble, but once that was done they painted up pretty easily.
I picked up eight packs, four Union and four Confederate, of prone casualty figures from Old Glory 25s. My ACW collection is 28mm, but these figures fit in just fine. As a significant portion of my collection is made up of zouaves, I did several head transplants and modified the paint job to convert some of the new figures into zouaves. I will let you judge for yourself how they turned out. I have 16 figures per side. In Sharp Practice, that should be enough to replace at least most of the figures lost to fire and fisticuffs with a casualty figure. I will know better after the next game.

Overall, I am pleased with the addition. Old Glory processed the order and got them to me within a week..
