Union cavalry

This week's painting effort has been directed to painting two additional regiments of 15mm cavalry for the ACW Union army. As I've run out of the god old 'piano wire' I use for flags and standards, the stands are still awaiting their pennants (as are the infantry brigades completed a little wire ago. Good things take time, eh 

The figures are mostly old Freikorps, with a couple of Minifigs in there. I'm not that happy with the horse poses, but as they say ... 'it is what it is'.



As we play using the Volley and Bayonet rules, I need to now paint up two 'linear' infantry stands to represent these regiments if they dismount (something more often than not the advisable course of action when fighting ACW battles). So, before I do the same for the CSA army .. those linear stands.
