of course Cavalry

Are the bareback horses available for sale separately, do you know, Your Eminence? (That is, without having to buy the riders.)

you would have to approach Nic..I can't imagine why not…I have ordered the HC without horses

do you know Nic..it always helps ..but just drop the fact you are a cyber friend of the commisioner of the range..

FANTASTIC! I am very happy to see mounted and dismounted cavalry being made :-D

I will have to look very closely at this range now.

Just ask. That makes sense. Although it's for one of the Imagi-nation guys, I'll look for his page later, who was looking for some bareback horses to go with Front Rank riders but he found the FR ones too expensive. I suggested Hinchliffe as an alternative, but these ones would do the trick too. Thanks for the reply and enjoy painting them.

have added a painted example

andy gamer you join the Pangaean circus..

The dismounted hussars and horse holders look really nice.

there are dragoons on foort to come as well..some at attention , as guards, and some skirmishing..

Well, I am a clown. (One of the sad ones painted on velvet.)

well you have "invented" the Pangaean Examiner…one of the more creative posts lately..

Can someone tell us about the name of the regiment, and uniform colors of these Saxon hussars? I see the skull and crossbones, suggesting the 5th Prussian. I don't collect 25 mm in 7YW, but it looks like one could convert them to Prussian easily: need a squared, or boxed, cantlepack with rolled greatcoat above, etc.

well Garde it is like this..I commisioned the range..as there wern't many Saxon hussars I wasn't going to bother with them , and said so here and to nic..well there was some response about this so Nic and I went ahead..to do a proper set of Saxon hussare one needed a colpack hat and a flugelmutze hat, from there grew the idea of sets of both fellow,s, I canvassaed a number of places seeking out ideas and to set the Eurekas apart I decided on summer ..so the troopers are in dolman and the officer and trumpeter are in worn pelisse..before I am barraged about this I came to the conclusion that many hussar officer wore pelisse as a jacket, over a shirt , discarding the dolaman..so..I don't think the pelisse on its own was much warmer than the dolman on its own but I digress..Not really caring much at the time about the Hussars myself I felt we had made the Eureka ones suitable differnt from most others..to get poses and equipment right I forwarded the sculptor a number of Knotel plates of Hussars in Dolman/Pelisse..of course as these things happen, most were based on the Prussian 5th Hussars with their distinctive Deaths Head..and guess what!!!! I am waiting to see the colpack versions

I'll certainly be using the mirliton hussars for my French (minus the death's head skull) and may use the colpack guys for Luckner's boys.
By the way, Cardinal, I've seen your notes to Nic and they were excellent.

Thanks, Cardinal Hawkwood:

They are fine figures, and can be used for many units. By the way, I am wrong about the Prussian cantlepack. In Engelman and Dorn, all are shown as a "sausage roll" below, and folded cloak on top. My 15mm Old Glory Prussian hussars – in both mirleton and colpak – have the squared cantlepack, as do (correctly)the Prussian Dragoons and Cuirassiers. I'm not going to convert them!
