Hussars based on figures on the Kronoskaf website.

| Couldn't decide which ones to do so I did 1 squadron each based on 3 different regiments... |

| 5th Regiment, Ruesch hussars. Never really know how to do all black - not obvious here but the dolman and pelisse and have been painted Panzer Grey with the fittings and saddlecloth black. |
That finishes the cavalry. Next, a unit of fusiliers - already started - then another gun crew and that will complete the basic army. I might add another unit of musketeers and a second unit of fusiliers, but that's just a tentative thought - may start either a French or Russian army next (Russians will be 'paint conversions') Or I might get back on track and start the Byzantines...
I do like these figures, and your colourful presentation. My own 'Prussian' Hussars - actually Altmark-Uberheim - are derived from the 4th (White) and 5th (Black) Hussars. The 5th (still called von Ruesch) are actually Airfix Napoleonic, but the 4th (Puttkamer) are Revell (and have been half-way through their paint job for years and years, dilettante that I am). One thing about Imagi-Nations: one does not overmuch worry over mixing manufactures!

Extreme accuracy for the sake of it is a concept I abandoned years ago - and as for manufacturer I tend to stick with one :)
DeleteCan't beat some dashing Hussars and this lot look very dashing indeed, lovely figures, they look great.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteNo.5 Reusch every time for me, nothing says Prussian Hussar more than a black uniform - your use of panzer grey for a bit of tonal variation works very well.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. The 'original' has a band of sort of buff breaches and black stockings...I just had to do it all black!
DeleteDazzling, as Hussars should be.
ReplyDeleteThank you
