Pre-painted historicals

This is an interesting trend that has started recently.

Traditionaly historical gamers are a bit hidebound. They would never dream of fielding an unpainted miniature, much less one painted by someone else. I guess there is a new generation of historical gamers.

Old Glory started it all.


I do not own any, yet, but they appear to be of good quality, painted well. They only problem is with the Old Glory sculpts themselves. They arent the best you can buy in historicals, not that they are bad, just not the best you could get.

Old Glory choose specificly the most tedious army items for pre-paints, the line infantry. This way you could fill out your army quickly and detail your special units.

They are a good value too. Looking at these Union Soldiers you get 20 of them for $70, thats $3.50 a piece, thats really good considering that includes the cost of the miniature. They can be even cheaper with Old Glory's Army. You get 40% off that way.

They are great for skirmish gaming or Warhammer Ancients
