AdamC: Dismounted Cavalry American Civil War

Here I am presenting two small units of Civil War Dismounted cavalry.  The Yankees were mostly painted before the Winter Challenge but not completed. 
 Since the goal here is to finish hobby tasks I figure the fact that these have been hanging fire for some time matters not at all.
 I have enough figures now to dismount most (if not all) of my Union Cavalry now.
 The Rebels are the left overs all using pistol which is the one thing I don't like about Bluemoon's ACW range.  Far too many of the dismounted cavalry have pistols not some sort of carbine, rifle or shot gun as their active weapon.
These guys will probably get split up among other units so they can have a more appropriate weapons mix.   For those who may wish to know how the Carriere family is doing during these difficult times I'll be posting at least once a week on my regular blog: Isolation Updates

  1. Nice work Adam! I don't know enough about the ACW to comment on selection of weapons, but it seems like the sculptors perhaps enjoyed the more dramatic pistol poses...

  2. Nice work Adam. Hollywood versions love the six gun, so no one the manufacturers do too.

  3. Your dismounted troops look cool. Hopefully you can get more rifles done for them by the end of the challenge.
