The Georgia Cavalry.

 Well my ACW project moves on a pace, obviously the distraction of the oncoming Christmas has slowed things down a bit, but I have managed to keep pegging away painting up some figures. I enjoyed painting up some Perry metal Rebel cavalry although they do have an annoying amount of small pieces of flash everywhere.The chaps are the Georgia cavalry, obviously not all of them.


 Next are a well dressed, Missouri State Guard, that really should have been a more ragtag unit, but they were easier to paint as they are..



 Finally a few skirmish Union troops. They were going to be a part of a Union regiment, but they look better as simple skirmishers. The other half should be completed very soon. I am also two thirds of the way through a Irish Union regiment, although I have started undercoating a unit of War of Religion Gendarmes, which will be a distraction. Talk about a butterfly mentality.

  1. With feathers in their caps, your Georgians are dandy cavaliers! The vent flash from Perry figs are annoying and I often don't see them all until AFTER the figure is nearly finished. Oh well, Perry figures are terrific nonetheless.

  3. Colourful looking cavalry types, it'll be nice to see some renaissance types from your hand but you've done a really nice job on your ACW project.

  4. Good looking troops. No doubt the reb cavalry have multiple pistols, shotguns and a variety of other weapons tucked away.

  8. Very nice looking regiments! Which rules are you going to use? Asking because many ACW don't seem to represent skirmishers.
