Title: Question for Adam Gehling
Post by: Schogun on September 10, 2016, 01:56:15 AM

Adam has an article in latest issue of Wargames Illustrated (347) -- "The Wolf of the Seas." He shows infantry figures identified as being from Foundry and Trent Miniatures. Two photos also show some Hussars (wearing mirlitons, I believe). I have checked both Foundry and Trent and neither make Hussars such as these. Can anyone identify these cavalry figures for me or provide a way to reach Adam to ask him?

Thanks

Chuck

(Could be Eureka chasseurs, or maybe Perry plastic hussars, but still looking.)

Adam is on here, I'll nudge him to this thread.

Embarrisingly I haven't seen the article in print yet. I think I forgot to mention the manufacturers I used so it was an editorial add in. The hussars are actually Perry Miniatures plastics. Very nice figures with lots of uniform variants in the kit.

Ah, thanks!

While searching, I was surprised Perry didn't have (metal) Hussars in Mirlitons until I found a reference that the plastic boxed set had many head variations including one with Mirlitons.

And...it turns out I already have a box of Perry plastics, so I'm set.

They say, "A picture is worth a thousand words." In this case, photos in this article spurred me to get more figs to finish off a few games. So more marines. More landing party. And a ship. And while I'm at it... So in my case, "A picture is worth a thousand dollars!"   (Okay, not that much, but hundreds.  lol)
