Prussian Hussars 15mm Franco Prussian Wars

Just finished  four  regiments of hussars for use with PoW rules for the 19th century. I think that's all the Hussars I need for a Corp plus attached Cavalry division. The majority are either Lancashire or Outpost troopers; all the officers etc. are probably Essex and thus a little bigger.

I would like to say I had fun painting the edging around the shabraques, thirty white triangles followed by thirty coloured triangles for each figure, but I can't.

 It wasn't fun.
Where are the painting nanobots I dream of?

1st Leib Regt. of  Hussars

Somehow this shot has  highlighted the difference in size, they don't look that bad - honest :)

2st Leib Regt of Hussars 1870

I chose the 1st and 2nd Leib regiments because they're black, mostly, and arguably 'elite'. Same goes for the next regiment -  the 3rd (Brandenburg) regiment which performed well in combat and adds a bit of colour to the sea of dark blue uniforms.

Last but not least are the hussars of the 5th Regiment (Pomeranian). These are  dressed in madder dolmans; I checked out several shades of madder and couldn't really decide which  shade to go for. If you think its a way off, you can let me know.

So there we go, twenty four figures with sixty triangles a piece.... I make that.....

... a lot of triangles.
