Here's some pictures of the 10th Va, which I finally had the opportunity to base when I was home over the winter reading break. I have a lot more figures that are ready to base, but I was short on time and bases. Essentially, I've also finished the 1st North Carolina as well.
Just for bit of history on the 10th, and Warren's brigade during the battle of Chancellorsville in general. This regiment was a veteran outfit whose companies were recruited from the Shenandoah valley, specifically Rockingham county. They saw extensive service during Jackson's valley campaign, on the Peninsula, 2nd Manassas, the Maryland campaign (fortunately, they were absent for the horrible bloodletting at Sharpsburg), and Fredericksburg.
The 10th's colonel, Edward T. Warren, was temporarily elevated to command of the brigade during the spring campaign. He suffered a wound during Jackson's famous flank attack on May 2nd and turned over command of the brigade. Warren was mortally wounded the following year in the nearby battle of the Wilderness once again leading the veteran Valley men of the 10th.

At Chancellorsville, Warren's brigade performed admirably during the May 2nd attack (including to help break the Bushbeck Line) and suffered horrendous casualties attacking Federal lines around Chancellorsville on May 3. The brigade, which numbered about 2,600 muskets, suffered a staggering 800 casualties during the battle.
Here's some pics of the 10th. I love the state flag alongside the 2nd pattern battleflag!
