Confederate dismounted cavalry : ACW

Just a quick update of some recently completed ACW Confederate dismounted cavalry. All are Perry figures (metal) I have split the horses so I can use them as two smaller units if necessary.
I won’t feel so bad using the cavalry in games going forward. I have a similar number of Union Cavalry dismounts to match.😀

    Super work Matt, and in the one true period! Splitting horses sounds gruesome though...

      Thanks it felt a bit indulgent to have four horses ina group, so for our normal sized games pairs will do just fine

    Very nice - I rather like the poses of the horses.

      I am allowing myself this indulgence as the core units have reached a reasonable stage, the union cavalry are prepped ready to go

      Thanks perry miniatures of course as I am keeping my ACW collection as consistent as I can, and they have a great range, it does mean my cavalry can now dismount in battle 🙂

    Looks great! I haven’t really bothered with cav in my ACW stuff yet but likely will in the future.

      Both sides have a unit so far, but as they were really only used as mobile infantry I felt I needed these figures, they are very nice for the overall collection 🙂

    Superbly done, Matt. I've yet to get any Perry ACW (or AWI, for that matter), but seeing your work on them, I'd say they're the finest around.

      I think it would be hard to say they aren’t amongst the best sculpts, starting the project for fresh the benefit is they have a good range, matched across plastic and metal.
