Austrian dragoons, two regiments 15mm Essex

Well , I pretty sure they're Essex - big fat heads on the horses!

I don't think these are in the PoW lists, but they do turn up in historical OOBs so I've got some just in case. Whilst cavalry are little use on the battlefield in a heavy role, they are handy for tying up enemy units and scouting. One day my flags will arrive from QRF and I can finish these.


Here they are formed up for review, sans guidons.
I like the Essex figures ( although the horses heads are a bit comical) as they are easy to paint with nice defined detail. The bases are very narrow making it difficult to base them up on strips for painting.

Next projects are Hussars in two different uniforms - 1859 and 1864-66.
