Then the >>you know who<< arrived...

I managed to complete the full Warlord Games winged hussar box, eight metal figures in total. Most of the time was spent waiting for the paint and then the first layer of varnish to dry - I always do a double matt varnish on metal figures.

I think they are quite splendid, maybe a bit more for the 1683 and onwards campaigns, but I'll just use them for the earlier 17th century anyway. I'm not sure I could do the same with the TAG or Foundry hussars wearing chainmail (that is use them for the later periods).

The rank and file comrades are in two groups, one in yellow/buff and one in red garbs. I used the pennons sparingly, because the long lances should be broken to pieces on the target, so what's the point throwing those expensive cloths away?

The riders come with various hand and wing options, further you can attach the wing to the saddle or the figure's back. 

Although I painted my Cossack riders separately from the horses, these ones were glued together first then painted, no trouble at all with hard to reach areas.

Here's the command group, a rich hetman type figure with the golden mace of authority, and a cornet. The commander also has a resin wolf dog, to be the arch enemy of Spötte the Swedish hound dog.

And the boys in yellow. All of them are mounted on 60x30mm pill bases. 

I saw some pictures before making the purchase and was a bit scared that the figures would be too small, as you can see they have no trouble fitting in with other makers. From left to right: Warlord plastic demi-cuirassier, Empress cuirassier, Warlord hussar, Bloody cuirassier.
