More Winged Hussars

This is the second and last unit of Winged Hussars for the Poles, Redoubt Enterprises this time and without the benefit of the photography department for most of the Pictures.


As I mentioned before I am not a massive Redoubt fan, but the Renaissance range is actually pretty good. Whilst not as nice as the Pancerni these figures are actually pretty nice.


In reality there were relatively few units or "banners" of Winged Hussars during the Great Northern War, two thirds of the Polish cavalry were Pancerni. I hope you will forgive the slight diversion from historical accuracy here as I will have about 25% each of winged Hussars and Pancerni with the rest as light cavalry or Dragoons.


Its the banners that set these figures off and I have used the ones that came with the Warlord set, although they are exactly the same as the ones I picked up from ebay.


The pictures below are from the basing photography department.




The basing department is house sitting down the road at my sisters so I hope to have new units to share in the next week or two and I have another Tremanning regiment coming off the work bench very shortly so do watch this space.

Thanks for reading.

  1. I think if anyone was writing rules for the period, they should come to you for the spectacle and photography.

  2. pretty. If you want to have some units of lithuanian ,,pancerni" (petyhorcy cavalry), you could mix pancerni and those unarmoured winged hussars :)

    1. I may do that Aleksander. For the moment I want to finish the unit of light cavalry I still have and then add a unit of dragoons. May come back to Pancerni after that.
