Transylvanian Renaissance Hussars

Another simple post.  I bought these as samples at Britcon as I am think of building a Transsylvanian ally for an Early German Protestant army of the TYW.



They are 15 mm figures from Donnington and I really enjoyed painting them.  The codes are EC04 & 06 on TYH06.  I’ll be using them as “Bow, Sword” Light Horse.

I particularly liked how the faces turned out on these figures:




Here’s my inspiration and some more photos:



I’m sorry I can’t give source for the book this came from.  The image was found via a Google image search and there was just the image; so no web page with details. If you know where it’s from leave a comment.

    The pics look like Somogyi's work - perhaps http://www.bibl.u-szeged.hu/bibl/mil/konyvek/hads/sz/bibJAT00255029.html or https://www.libri.hu/idegen_nyelvu/konyv/somogyi_gyozo.az-erdelyi-fejedelemseg-hadserege-1559-1690-the-army-of-transylvania-1559-1690.html

      Thanks and I think you are right. The second link is probably the best. The first one is weird.
