I'm looking at branching out into the western theater and
require a bit of assistance. I use 15mm figs and i'm not
aware of any specific ranges for Hessians (you may know
differant). If there is a dearth of said figs what do people
use, my guess would be Prussian figs. any advise very welcome |

Prussian infantry figures will work well.
The problem will be with the cavalry as there were changes made in 1760. |

Essex Miniatures:

LKM have Hesians in their AWI range (not sure how similar they'll be though). |

Hessian uniforms aped Prussian fashion, so the only changes you need can be done with a paint brush. That and flags. I just have my Prussians stand in for Hessians when we do that front, bolstered by British. One of our crew has a load of Hanoverians being painted. |

I am doing Hessians at the moment and opted for Prussian figures. I was able to find all arms from Old Glory that way. The Kronoskaf site is great as a painting source. For most units they even color plates and flags. |

The Essex 15mm SYW range is really nice, by the way. |
