Blankenstein Hussars Regiment No.6 These splendid chaps were a large unit of over one thousand men, forming Brigade GM Wartensleben. I have used Mr Kanes prints and whilst the horses are perhaps more suitable for a heavier unit I am pleased with the end result.

Very nice, and what a "storied" regiment!

Immaculate painting & the massed ranks are a stirring sight. Your photos of Napoleonic subjects, Chris, never fail to delight.

Thank you to everyone for their kind comments. It is the help and encouragement of forum members that keeps the enthusiasm going. Best wishes, Chris

Great paint work! 43 figs for one unit! Always wondered why the Austrians had such large cavalry units?
CHRIS DODSON	15 Jun 2026 7:42 a.m. PST
You have sharp eyes! Strictly speaking at 1/25 there should be 41 figures but I wanted the command to be there too. Not sure why the large numbers. The Schwarzenburg uhlan unit had 917 effectives according to Gill. I have ignored the Insurrection hussars as they cleared off at the original action. Best wishes, Chris

Afaik, although the regimental cavalry organisation was a 1000 men or more, they fought in divisional organisation or 2 squadrons or around 400 men.

Mr Gill states eight squadrons for Aspern for this unit. Tactically their deployment would depend on the commanders discretion. Chris
