This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
Based on HerrDave's and Zess's models.
I've been listening to Civil War songs for too long and it had a negative effect on my sanity.
So, who do we have here:
Union forces:
- Rifleman (Standart "musket" and repeating Spencer rifle)
- Irish conscript (alternate rifleman)
- Officer with revolver and sable
- Sharpshooters (Standart rifleman and with scope)
- Cavalry (with sable and rifle)
- Saboteur with knife and revolver
- Gatling gun
- Field cannon (new)
Confederate forces:
- Rifleman (Standart "musket" and repeating Henry rifle)
- Indian warrior (bow and axe) and rifleman (alternate rifleman)
- Officer with revolver and sable
- Sharpshooter with Whitworth rifle
- Cavalry (with sable and rifle)
- Saboteur with knife and revolver
- Shotgun
- Agar gun
- Field cannon (new)

1. Why are here no color riflemen for Union?
2. Why native warrior has a piercing melee attack animation? He wield axe, not sword.

Nice, maybe add some matching icons and a regular cannon/mortar cannon and wagon unit.
Can you do American Revolution/British/French/Napoleonic units next?

Classy models. I like them very much. What's missing here is a 12-pound Napoleon.

I'm already working on the cannon. And since animation in my case is a real pain, it will take a long time to work.

I find it very strange the the Confederates have coloured troops and not the Union.
The US had many regiments of colored troops whereas the only coloured troops possessed by the Confederacy were the Louisiana Native Guard, who were comprised the handful of free Men of Colour that existed in Louisiana due to it's cultural differences to the rest of the south.
Now the Louisiana Native Guard more or less swapped sides when the Union took Louisiana.
Most photos of "Black Confederates" that exist were photos of camp slaves, usually posing with their masters. they'd cook and clean and carry things, but they didn't fight usually.

I like the idea for the engineer in the Civil War, but the wrench looks quite modern.
Here are some references of antique tools the troops used.

As with your other models, these are mostly just edits from other people.
I'll put them in useful/simple.

makes me think that the creator is a bit of an ahistorical revisionist. see Paillans comment as well.

That makes sense but this is assuming an opinion which couldn't be his.
I bet he simply forgot to put a "colored" variant for the union and that's all.

I think the explanation is something like this: "Originally the color rifleman was not planned at all, but then it was urgently needed to add a unit to the Confederates."

I somehow missed your message, but there were Black Confederates back in the Civil War. If you look up Terry Deary's Horrible Histories: The USA (at least if I remember correctly), you'll find the page where the slaves were treated poorly by White Confederates.

Musicians and a flag bearer unit on foot/horse would be great, too.

Great model pack. I am especially happy with the inclusion of the Native Americans given how rare models of them are. I must ask since you are now doing 1800s units is there a chance we could get a Qing Dynasty model pack? Then we can also make maps of the Chinese revolution in 1911 of the Nationalists vs the Qing since you already made the Nationalists.

I have a realy big problems with chinese models. It seems to me they don't have a specific(?) style in uniform, but there are several of these Chinese factions(?).

I really want to create a custom race from this pack and was thinking about air units at that time. Just googled and found this: Union Army Balloon Corps - Wikipedia there are already balloon models on Hive so I will probably use them although the textures could be better matching.
Tents and palisade models could be used for buildings. I did a quick search for some matching models:
Any more ideas for a custom race?
The only thing missing is really matching icons for the units and of course additional units as proposed would be great, too.

Sorry for the late reply they do have uniforms and I can provide pictures if you need them. The hodge podge appearance is because the 1800s was a period of 2 attempted revolutions (Taiping mid century and the 1911 one by the Nationalists) as well as a transition of the Chinese Military from a more Renaissance type army to Modern. The Qing can diverge greatly from the Nationalists due to hair style, cloths and uniform. Both the Taiping and Nationalists viewed the Qing Dynasty as foreign occupiers and as a result distanced their hair and clothing to appear either more western in the Nationalist case or more Traditional in the Taiping case.
