A full decade after Victrix and Perry Miniatures introduced 28mm plastic Austrian Napoleonic infantry, Perry has introduced two boxed sets of 28mm plastic Austrian cavalry to go with them.

I've written a review of the new Perry Miniatures AN100 28mm plastic Austrian Napoleonic Hussars, 1805-1815. I know there are a few 28mm Napoleonic enthusiasts here, and I thought a few of you might be interested in reading it: http://www.thewargamersforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=4185 (http://www.thewargamersforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=4185).
This new box complements the box of Austrian Cavalry introduced in 2020 that contains cuirassiers, dragoons, and/or chevaulegers, which I have also reviewed: http://www.thewargamersforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=4165 (http://www.thewargamersforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=4165).

Good reviews, I must admit I enjoyed both of them very much. :)
-
Thanks for the review! I dont play any games where I could use them, but those Hussars are very-very tempting...

Thanks for the review, very interesting. If you are willing to do a little sawing up of horses you can add additional horse poses - one of the benefits of the interchangeable horse halves is that if, say, you cut up two different left horse halves and swap the front half of each over - you get two new horses...of course you have to be a bit careful so you don't get an unnatural pose but if you put the cut in the right place it's mostly concealed by the rider's legs so a little roughness in the making good doesn't matter too much.

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the reviews. :)
They are fine figures. I'm currently reading John H. Gill's Thunder on the Danube, in which the hussars feature frequently.

Good review, I'll definitely be getting some and Thunder on the Danube is great!
