Late 17th/Early 18th Century hussar preview

[clibinarium]

After the recent AWI additions, a Pendraken customer was good enough to sponsor the sculpting of some hussars for the LoA range. They'll work fine for the later half of the 17th and early part of the 18th Century too. I've made them fairly generic so they should work for most armies. The trumpeter was a tricky pose as cavalry have to be done on a single axis. So he's turned around a bit further than is natural, but it makes casting much easier.
They are on the smaller dragoon-sized horses, which I managed to give some more active poses to.
Hope you like them and thanks to the sponsor.

They are superb, Shame all my Rennaisance stuff is in 15mm. None of the figures I have are as nice as these.

Cheers everyone.
I am pleased with these, but I got a little bit carried away doing them. Most likely as I've been working on lots of 15mm Renaissance stuff in the last year. I thought I'd get them knocked out in a couple of days but it ended up taking almost a week.
Hussars are quite intricate at the best of times, and I might have made these a little over-detailed for 10mm. It's hard for me to know since I almost never paint figures these days.

They are impressive but I wouldn't know where to start with the LoA.

I don't know if that is good or bad news! The other LoA figure are pretty detailed - they look great when painted up, but do need time to do them justice.

The Battle of the Boyne is a pretty good starting place for the LoA period - if a rather Anglo centric one.

Hello

Very nice, I don't know if you can keep them in historical scenarios though, I can see them sneaking into Fantasy as Kislev, etc. My poor groaning wishlist will take another hit when they're released  .

Cheers

I thought about it but the Jacobites seem such poor quality that it would hardly be a fair fight.  The real problem is investing in all the research into a period I know next to nothing about, although I see there are some interesting looking books in the Century of the Soldier series.  Still I'm fully committed to a Peninsular War project at the moment.
