I'm expanding my WAS/SYW collection, and what better addition than the legendary Black Hussars, or Totenköpfe if you like.

I've used the Prussian Hussars from Minden Miniatures, sculpted by the talented Rachard Ansell.

Your whole page provides inspiration. Great brush-work. I've got to clear some room on the table for Regiment of them. Is that a Dal Gavin flag?

Very nice! I think that's the best representation of that unit I have ever seen!

Black clothing is very difficult to pull off. Great job. You have really brought them to life.

Since the figures are 1/56 scale, approximately 30mm, the flag looks to be GMB.

Excellent, black is always a challenge and you did it very nicely.

Thank you all VERY MUCH for the nice comments – and I confirm Der Alte Fritz's comment, its a GMB flag for HR5.
