Or more properly Hussar Regiment No. 4 Hessen-Homberg. These were part of a windfall, impromptu purchase from Stan. They required basing and a bit of TLC to repair some paint chips, but I also re-lifed them by redoing their shakos and adding a brighter green highlight to their jackets and same to their pants. While Essex figures are not my favourite, they have come up a treat! They join my other Essex Austrian Hussar regiment that I completed back in April and which can be seen here:

The flags come moulded on which meant I had to hand paint it. Not a lot of fun, but it will do.
This last image was taken without the flash and shows just how dark the colours are.
I've seen the Hessen-Homburg regiment painted up in almost a fluoro green,
but that's not for me.
Very nice.
ReplyDeleteAs they are second hand perhaps they will not suffer the newly painted troops curse. :)
Thanks. I am not sure of their pedigree/provance on the tabletop, the thing will to get them in a game asap.
DeleteThey look excellent Mark, you have 'pimped' them nicely!
