These are my newly finished Prussian Hussar Regt. Nr6 von Wechmar nicknamed the 'Capuchins' or as I will be referring to them from now on, the marvellous - 'Fleishhackers' or the butchers because brown was the colour of the guild of butchers .
I enjoyed painting them , it's rather a different colour scheme - even though I had to buy a new yellow from Games Workshop , the young man serving on (I'm getting to the age when I can use that phrase) asked - "what are you painting at the moment ? " and looked a bit nonplussed when I replied "40mm home cast Hussars".
The Brown and Yellow go together rather well. They are nicely done.
ReplyDeleteYes they work well always struggle with yellow paint .
DeleteVery nice...
ReplyDeleteAll the best. Aly
Thanks , took a while to finish but worth it .
DeleteLovely and shiny... my GW bod has given up asking what I am painting, but to give him his due he does have an understanding of toy soldiers outside the Warhammer world.
ReplyDeleteDon't think my chap has any idea of non- GW gaming .
DeleteNicely done. I'm surprised how well the officer chap fits in. That "french" hussar casting always seemed much larger than the Prussians to me .but I don't think I ever mixed one in once painted.
ReplyDeleteOh and nice work on the trumpeter!
DeleteHe's a bit 'thicker' as well I think .
DeleteGetting the trumpet to touch his mouth was a task and a half .
DeleteLovely regiment
ReplyDeleteThey are very different uniform colour wise .
DeleteReally beautiful, Tony!
ReplyDeleteThanks I really enjoyed painting this unit .
