I'm looking for 15mm Cossacks with bows and 15mm Hungarian Hussars with bows (no lances for either) for my TYW Imperialist Army.

Can anyone recommend suitable figures?

Thanks.

Donnington have some

Do you have a specific catalog number for the Donnington figures. I looked on their website and couldn't find any Hungarian light cavalry armed with bows.

Anything at Totentanz of use?

QR miniatures have Polish horse archers – they are very similar to Hungarian light horse archers of the period

I've heard Totentanz are very big. QR miniatures are more or less Essex sized.

It turns out I also need some 15mm Hungarian Hussars armed with carbines. Any suggestions?

Re needing Hungarians with carbines. I have taken spear armed figures, mashed the spear flat and shaped it to a carbine/rifle. Once painted hard to tell it was ever a spear.

Irregular have some varied Hungarian hussars in their 1300- 1500 Hungarian line-- bows are cased and most have sword or mace in hand. None with firearms as far as I know.

The 1600- 1700 Renaissance range lists Polish Cossacks with arquebus, and Cossacks using lance or bow. I haven't seen any of these, but I think the Croat cavalryman armed with pistol that I have is their Serb/Croat light cavalryman.

BFaS cossack style cavalry have mix of bows and carbines:

Any models marked as Cossacks (like Zaporozhian Cossacks) should be avoided, as 'Lisowczycy' that were recruited into Imperial armies have nothing to do with Cossacks, they were Polish cavalry, usuall unarmoured, equiped with sabres, pistols, bows and carbines. There's no evidence that lances or spears were used by them at all.
