By the summer of 1861, the rolling fields of Virginia and Maryland had become killing grounds where elite volunteer regiments like the 5th New York Infantry — Duryée's Zouaves — earned their fearsome reputation. Modelled on the legendary French Zouaves of the Crimean War, these Union volunteers fought with the precision of trained professionals and the fire of patriotic volunteers, their distinctive style setting them apart from the standard Federal line infantry on every bloody field they crossed.
Sculpted by designer KapDave, these miniatures capture the determined aggression of the Union infantryman at the moment of engagement. Each pose is locked in the act of aiming or presenting arms, communicating the tension of a firing line under pressure. Equipment detail is meticulous — cartridge boxes, cap pouches, belts, and haversacks are all faithfully rendered across the torso, while long-pattern rifle muskets with socket bayonets extend forward in combat-ready posture. Facial expressions carry grim resolve, and the varied headgear across the set — broad-brimmed campaign hats and forage caps — gives the group a naturalistic, campaign-worn feel authentic to the volunteer infantry experience of 1861–1865.
Available in 40mm, 54mm, and 75mm scales, these miniatures are ideal for the serious historical wargamer, Civil War diorama builder, or display collector. They fit naturally into American Civil War tabletop rulesets and skirmish systems focused on the Eastern or Western Theatre, and the firing poses make them ideal for constructing a volley line or skirmish screen on the tabletop.
- Deploy your Zouaves at Second Bull Run — position a firing line of these infantry across a fence line and hold the flank against a Confederate advance threatening to roll up the Union position before dark.
- Recreate the chaos of Gaines' Mill — place your skirmishers forward of the main line and use their aggressive posture to represent the desperate fighting withdrawal through the Virginia pines during the Seven Days Battles.
- Build a diorama of drill and discipline — arrange these figures in a parade ground or camp scene to show the transformation of raw recruits into the hard-edged veterans Duryée's Zouaves would become by mid-war.
