Those are nice!

So, actually 15mm, eh? How nice.

You need photos of the minis though on your web site (it will pay dividends) and some more mounted officers. Overall, nice sculpting. I've always preferred the more stocky look.

Very nicely done, I have some 15mm ACW on painting sticks at the moment and they sit in the shadow of your lovely brushwork.

Great work Vexillia. I love 15mm and well painted, like yours, they often out shine 28’s. I haven’t seen that company before, they look like they’ll mix well with Peter Pig figures. I’m tempted by the ACW but I think I’m going to start a little earlier and go AWI first.

Keep it up
BALM.

I suspect they'll fit with Peter Pig too but I'd like someone to confirm that. Anyone?

They look beautiful.

I've been told elsewhere that for Confederates the jackets are best thought of as frock coat that've been cut down by the regimental tailor to make sack coats. But only if the collars stand straight up. Folded over collars must be a Union thing. Who knew?

All in all, it's a good job as Warrior don't do figures in shell or "roundabout" jackets and I'd hate to think I've painted a fantasy unit.
