Female Hussars

[Chairface]

Smashing El Prez! I love them! Can't wait to work on mine. And I won't have to wait long because they showed up today! Beautiful minis!

I've just bought Princess Victoria, the Firing Line and six other Hussars for £20.17, which isn't bad when I think about what I'm normally paying for Orks or Chaos Marines.

As to what I'm going to do with them, not a bloody clue.

[Elprez]

Can't wait to see everybody's take on these miniatures. Don't forget to post pictures.

@Frontal Assault - glad its not just me that buys figures and then works out a use for them,

Is it wrong that I want to see some of these nice young ladys with Maxems, and Lewis guns?

Doesn't strike me as wrong.  In fact, I do too.   

[commissarmoody]

Oh and maybe a bergman sub machinegun in the mix also. .
Need some to be my Imaginations 1st Capital guard Battalion.

My fluff is that, my country was surprisingly progressive dearing the 19th center, and allowed (fallowing a series of Female Doge's) for the formation of All Female Carbanar units to police the capital and as the Doge's ceremonial guard. While the men in the military were used to man the border garrisons, maneuver Regiments' and to try to keep what is left of there colonial Empire alive.

Awkward question, and I do apologise if this is the wrong place to ask this, but has anyone who has ordered these minatures had a request for a shipping fee after the initial order has been placed?

[Elprez]

From the seller? No, and I've placed 2 orders.

If you order up to 3 packs the site asks you to choose your shipping option, which adds $4 to the UK to your bill. Did you add the shipping to your shopping cart?
When I ordered, the total came to £22- something (cant remember exactly), and in your post above you said you were charged £20-17.
Were you subsequently asked for $4? If so, maybe you forgot to click to add shipping to your cart?
The site doesn't add shipping automatically.

By the way, $4 is less than it cost the seller to ship my parcels to the UK (it was $4-80 on my parcels), never mind packaging.

It costs more to get a couple of figures sent from an E-Bay sale within the UK 

Those transatlantic shipping charges are incredibly good value and make ordering these figures a really tempting prospect

Hi Frontal Assault,

As Elprez pointed out, there is a shipping fee.  That fee is $2 within the US, $3 to Canada, and $4 to any other location.  (Also as Elprez pointed out, my cost of shipping to the UK is actually more than $4, and I'll probably soon change that fee to something more realistic.)  You failed to choose one of the options on the ordering page.  If you go back to that page, you see the options listed at the top of the page, with the US Flag, Canadian flag, and a globe.

By the way, I've already sent your minis.  If you feel that my request for $4 is unreasonable, you can ignore it and still receive the minis.

Sounds like an honest mistake. I was quite happy with the shipping fee that I was charged!

Just finished these this afternoon, just a spray of varnish to go. I am working on the back story of the unit , suffice to say they will be based in Surrey under the leadership of Lady Busbridge. Princess Viki I wanted to depict as herself  , as I look at the photo I may just do a few minor adjustments. I think she should have a escort of Deaths Head Hussars , that and I need more troops to form a second Gaslight unit means I shall be putting another small order in .

Excellent paintjob Mors, and I like your choice of colour scheme(s) very much.
Very attractive models. Like you I cracked and had to order a second unit, 

[Chairface]

Phenominal Mors! I love your paint scheme. The painting is top notch too.

[Mancha]

Great color combination!  I'm suddenly feeling like my blue-and-blue females are underdressed!  Excellent paintjobs as well.  Thanks for posting the picture.
