The Austrian 5th Hussars are ending their rest and moving out. They will experience their first battle Saturday, using Empire V rules. The buildings and dog are Hovels, the trees Snapdragon, and the Hussars are Foundry. Lovely sculps and casting-even the trigger is distictly moulded.

Thanks, Olicana. They were fun to paint. I'll rank and base them today.

Nice looking unit Best wishes for success in their upcoming battles!

Thanks, Frederick. Hussars can perform as battle cavalry if matched against other light cav opponents. I hope to pick a match-up they have a chance of winning. French cav can be tough.

Fantastic unit and excellent photographs. The background really works but doesn't dominate. Great depth of field control. They do seem to suffer from an orientation problem, perhaps the 9 3/4 hussars on route from Australia or something How do you paint the lace ? – it's really good John

Thanks, John. The orientation is a deliberate ploy to confuse a known French spy located on the courtyard. Photos are just phone camera. Glad you liked the background. The lace is painted with a detail brush (18/0) and then highlighted.
