These look good and seem to be convertable to almost anything Hussarish ...............

Hard or soft they will still be light light cavalry or in WRG parlance ELC (Extra Light Cavalry) perhaps :D

No need to be a hater.  ;)
I understand, I prefer metal, but at that price and with a students budget they work out just fine for me.

As a fellow plastiphobe I must confess the Perry brothers have won me over. I bought their WotR box on a whim after seeing Captain Blood's excellent painted examples and they are every bit as good as advertised. I ordered a box of dragoons for Sharp Practice and will likely get a couple boxes of hussars since I can use them with my Eureka French Revolution stuff.

Regardless, they are good and cheap, with the ability to create lots of units and poses. Maybe, they'll copy Warlord and start doing cheap army boxes.......  ::)

And, as Phil R says, they truly are "light" cavalry.  ;)

Plastic is a godsend if you have to lug armies around to the club or store your figures in the loft. I think metal is best in most ways but for large native armies or cavalry-heavy ones like the ECW, plastic really is better for it's cheapness and lack of weight.

If anyone ever produces plastic Mongols .....  :o ;D 8)

They may seem cheaper NOW, but how will you feel when choice is limited and smaller manufacturers of metal figures are forced out of business? Plastic ~ spawn of the devil! >:(
