I had some difficulties making the Texan riders fit their horses (but maybe it’s just me)… Anyhow I hope these will be a better fit. That being said, I think they look pretty amazing… I’m pretty sure I saw some color plates of the Mexican cavalry uniforms on the net. I can’t remember where exactly but, IIRC, it was a colourful uniform.

More great stuff, full of character and the soldier reaching into his cartridge pouch actually looks as though he is NOT going to dislocate his shoulder.

More great sculpts. Well done Matt and Nick. Just hope there are enough Tex-Mex enthusiasts out there to justify the exhaustive range you're building... (Even if it is only for your own enjoyment really  ;))

Great looking cavalry Nick!  I do so love nice cavalry.

Now to figure out how to fit them into VSF... which I don't think will be too difficult.   ;)

Wow Nick, fantastic miniatures, well done to you and Matthew.

Do pig stickers come with the cavalry?

Love the skirmishing Soldados with their grim determination alongside the dismounts.

Cheers,

Helen
