Here
is a squadron of Sash & Saber's new 40mm SYW Prussian hussars.
I've just done the four figures and I plan to have 4 squadrons in
total. At full strength Hussars were 10 squadrons strong, divided
into two 'battalions' of 5 squadrons each, but were regularly hived
off into smaller parts.
I
painted this unit because of the unusual uniform, brown being quite a
rarely used colour in the 18th century. The
regiment was often referred to as” die
Kapuziner” (the
Capuchins) or the “Fleischhacker”
(the
butchers because brown was the colour of the guild of the butchers).
What a great unit - beautiful color scheme!

ReplyDeleteThese are marvelous - they must be even more impressive in person being 40mm. Dean
ReplyDeleteYes, lovely, unusual, and not often (I think) a color used by wargamers for their hussars.
ReplyDeleteThree for three!
