28mm 1812 Russian Hussars

Glenn is fielding three units of hussars in his Russian army.  I chose units that would give him as wide a variety of colors as possible.

All figures are from Foundry.


Achtyrka Hussars





Izioumski Hussars 






Soum Hussars



Now I just have the mounted Jager left, and I will be done with the cavalry!

  1. Beautifully done; not surprisingly the Soum and Aktyrsk regiments were the first two that I did for my own Russian army, the grey/red and yellow/brown combnations both being striking and really standing out from the "Green Horde" of the reast of the Russian army.

  2. Exactly why I chose them! Great minds think alike.

  3. Love, love, love the detail and the colors.
    These are some beautiful units.

    I first started collecting Wargames Foundry figures in 1998 or so, and I think only Perry are better.

  4. It's a shame that Foundry did these guys wearing their cover-alls. The grey pants eliminate some of the extra color 'pop' achieved in the dress uniform pants/ boots of these Hussars.

    Still, they look very ready for battle and authentic.

  6. Yes, hussars look best in full dress. But doesn't everyone?

  9. Very nice! I used to live in the Region of Ukraine near Sumy and Akhtyrka. It's very beautiful. Sumy, in particular, is very proud of their Hussar heritage and they have a new memorial in town.
