Agree, nice. And the blue broad brim hats are what don't work. The kepis are fine. But maybe it is to keep them as a 'defined group' on the table. |

Hi mates Thx about the comments. Actually finished them as some acw unit or right after the war, because a friend of mine is doing confederates for the dmh game but we agreed on using the 7th cav for the list and maybe desperatos with a few house rules added for the confederates. Would you still say the hats are wrong? But agree think it might work better with the 7th cav hats All the best Miniaturepainter |

Think a much more dark blue or even black might work better. . |

The campaign hats of the 1870s & early 1880s were black. Officers & NCOs had a stripe on the trousers, yellow for cavalry, blue for infantry, & red for artillery. |

You might also consider painting the sword hilts in brass. Other than that and the hats, they look good! |
