A side diversion, since there was very little Confederate Cavalry at Gettysburg, none at Shiloh and only a token force at Bull Run, I would need to get some grey pony men done up for a proposed Shenandoah Valley campaign.
The pressure came to get this done sooner, rather than later, from Martin's little campaign. Then more when I was presented with a copy of the Valour and Fortitude rules, with ACW army lists and details.
It was always in the plan ... now moved up!

| the dismounted sections of the cavalry force |
 |
| incentive from having a copy of V&F now |
 |
| bare metal all ready to base coat |
 |
| all base coated |
 |
| a dark 'underlayer' of color is then applied |
 |
| the highlights underlayer |
 |
| basic 'color' undercoat |
 |
| INKS! |
 |
| the exact brush used for all painting done to this point - I think I have used this same brush for the last three sets of minis Yes - the paint just needs to get on accuracy in these early stages means nothing so just go fast! |
 |
| highlights and main colours done |
 |
| metallic layer and mounted to movement bases or sabot |
 |
| fully flocked |
 |
| my basic flocking set up |
All done the 'little' Confederate Cavalry diversion ... now I will be able to playtest the rules and see what I might be able to bring to the Shenandoah Valley Campaign (or run one of my own in the future).
