During my last order from Baccus, I was surfing around when I found these little fellows:
I've never really been interested in the Great Northern War, but I've always liked the look of the Winged Hussars ever since I painted my first GW Kislev Winged Lancer. Their flamboyant uniforms and legendary martial prowess make for a great tabletop addition. I read some accounts where they painted their horses red and white, so thought I would do the commanders accordingly for a little variation.
A single pack comes with 45 figs, and I asked for only two command stands. That allows for two units of three for Warmaster Ancients style games. Or one unit of 6-7 stands for Field of Glory style units. I based them in deep wedges as most accounts rated them as heavy shock cavalry.

Baccus is supposed to be releasing some Ottoman Turks in the near future, so I am tempted to expand my horizons towards the Siege of Vienna.

Looking good and you got to love Baccus, I'm looking forward to painting some of my French Naps foot now I have a few Cavalry units painted, got to wait till I have other projects done though.

I was first exposed to the Polish Winged Hussars in Charlie Sweet's basement back circa 1974; he had the in 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, and 54mm, IIRC! They look pretty good in 6mm, too!
