Well there certainly is a lot of them (see below, but the nice thing about the stands is that they seem to have an amount of „gravity“ and „believability“ about them – they are „marching into battle“): 

The three pieces of the sprue – infantry, artillery and a commander – look good next to each other (see below, I do want to see how „good“ they look „in mass“ together):  

From one sprue .. this is a lot (see below, five infantry regiments, one artillery and a commander per sprue – and there was twelve sprues a side [Union/Confederate]): 

These look perfect for Bob Cordery’s „The Portable Wargame“ rule set and Neil Thomas‘ „One Hour Wargame“ rules. I am putting off painting them and concentrating on getting them cleanly off the sprues (they come off really cleanly but I am trying to be patient, the only issue I have hit is with the artillery and my „fat fingers“), I keep getting this heretical thought – „Do I really need to paint them?“ Even if I do „paint them“ – then to what degree? A spray can, a wash and a little bit of flock. I know the artists at Warlord Games have done some fine painting – but why wait, through these chaps into a game asap? Black Powder does not look like a simple set of rules to pick up .. why not throw them at a simpler set?
