I was thinking camels might be an interesting unit to add to the Texans.

Absolutely! The precedent exists. The US Army had a camel corps in the 1840's and 50's. The experiment ended with the onset of the American Civil War.
Airfix makes some 1/72 camel troops. Bedouin yes, but you can always replace them with horse cavalry figures. Airfix has lots to choose from.
The "Texas Dromedary Corp's" has a nice ring to it. As does the "Texas Navy - Ships of the Desert"

Hmmm, I wonder if you might be able to separate the British colonial camel troopers from their mounts and replace with US Marine style. If not, I'm sure Peter Pig has 'loose camels' which you could mount USA or other figures from their line on

Yes, I believe so - I think it was during the Pancho Vivas (sp) campaign with "Blackjack" Pershing. No, the American Camel Corps was sponsored by then Secretary of War Jefferson Davis in 1855.

Really nice look - as always. Any chance of adding some light mountain guns for further support or perhaps the infantry mans artillery - a few mortars. Love the look.
