Lynden Hussars join the army of the Barryat of Lyndonia

[Arteis]

Looking somewhat Toytown-ish in their blue, yellow and red uniforms, the regiment of Lynden Hussars has just joined the army of my wargaming ‘imagi-nation’ (imaginary nation), the Barryat of Lyndonia.

When I found out that the French army had a real-life hussar regiment named the Aspremont-Lynden Hussars, how could the Barryat of Lyndonia possibly not include this unit in its army?!

By the way, in case you’re wondering, my imagi-nation is named after the Stanley Kubrick movie Barry Lyndon. And whilst the Barryat of Lyndonia might sound a weird name for a country, it’s no worse than the the real-life Banat of Temesvár,  part of the Austro-Hungarian empire!

Very nice. They look the business all charging with their sabres up in the air.

As annoying as it is to paint, the mirliton is second only to the colpack in my mind. Lovely work as usual, Roly.

Love them.
Have always liked Hussars in that uniform.

Beg to differ Plutarch - prefer the mirliton myself 

Great unit for sure.
