"Khurasan 17th century Hungarians " Topic

Think I forgot to post this here! We've released our latest range, the 17th century Hungarians.

These are for fighting in the wars that shook Eastern Europe in this tumultuous century. This line is suitable for the Kuruc Rebellion, Great Turkish War, and earlier contests as well. The models themselves should be suitable for a variety of Eastern European forces.

First up we have infantry for the later Haiduks or other musketeer infantry wearing more businesslike dress than in the 16th century.

The impetuous armoured hussar lancers have a variety of protection, wearing at the least a breastplate. They could also be used as early to mid-century Polish Hussars by gamers who don't believe the wings were worn in battle (yes, both of you).

Also available to lead your forces is a general in flamboyant winged helmet.

Last but certainly not least are the light hussars, those trademark Hungarian warriors, who made a name for themselves and had such a influence on the development of light cavalry in ensuing centuries. These would be useful en masse in Hungarian or other Eastern armies, or as mercenary horse in Western armies.

Thanks to Steve Dean for painting these. The Hungarians are available now! Much more is coming for the late 17th century. Available here:

I am gathering by a recent post, that Khurasan fans can expect a release of some 1680ish pikemen in cuirass in hats.

BTW, which codes could be best used to represent hussars by the Imperial armies of the TYW?

Thanks,

That depend on where and when during the TYW. Most would have been of the "light" type but some heavy units were fielded as well. Particularly early in the war when fighting the Transylvanians. As a rule the heavies did poorly when facing "western" foes, a large and flamboyant Hungarian levy with numerous heavy hussars ended up being badly beated by an inferior number of veteran Swedes in the 1640's.

What Daniel means is Hungarians were excellent troops and you should collect a large army of them today!

Now if we only had the complete pre-Samurai and Vespids ranges to fight them!

Waiting patiently. Patiently PAtiently, PATiently, PATIently-

Actually these are not opponents for either of those armies.

Any ETA on the 30 years war Spanish?

BTW, keep up the good work.

They are on the list, but at the moment Mike is making something more … topical for me.
