It's been a while but I've finally managed to finish the painting on another 20mm cavalry company.
As George Custer liked to have different horse colours to differentiate companies, it's nice to finally paint a chestnut colour after a barrel full of Bay ones.
Painting shirt sleeves helps to create a ad-hoc look for the units.
Tom Custer was actually not with his command, so I haven't modelled him here. Tom was riding up front next to his big brother, he hasn't got a mounted figure but he's on Custer's dismounted stand.
To mix up the look of the limited range from Newline Design, I've mixed in some Confederate and Union cavalry. There isn't a lot of difference in the figures and it just helps to add some more poses. This company has a few Kepi's too. I think this makes the unit look a little green and new.
It's nice to get the horse brands on the mounts, it's just a little detail that makes me happy.
The bugler is mounted on a grey horse.
They are still glueing at the moment so the basing is yet to do.
