Title: New 1914 German Hussars (28mm)
Post by: Gribb on February 20, 2020, 09:43:20 PM

Dynamic, charging posed perfect to counter my BEF British cavalry from Empress. Sword or lance? Both options are available. Personally leaning towards sword for fair game ;)
6 head head variants. These have the totenkopf/death head visible and should be quite distinctive appearance on the table. Full cap cover later.

Given that British cavalry were also lance armed in 1914 either is fair.

Aye, like the rest. But my British cavalry from Empress carry only swords. It will be a good, old melee of blades!

First batch ordered ;D Went for both lance and sword. Look forward to see them up close and try to get the braiding and skull popping. They may have abandoned bright uniforms, but kept the style in details!

Gribb,

A dismounted German Hussar (with head variant) advancing at the trail has been commissioned by me.

Cheers,

Helen
