Serbian Gusars and Three Kingdoms Chinese Light Horse

Serbian Gusars

The Serbian Empire created an entirely new class of light cavalry, they termed them Gusars which has become to be known as Hussars. These castings come from Alternative Armies and come from the Medus range. They are casting code https://www.alternative-armies.com/collections/15mm-medieval-medus-range/products/huc1-serbian-hussar and come in two parts, the horses are all the same pose but the riders come in two slightly different poses which allows for a small amount of variety. I obtained 24 of them in a random EBay bulk purchase and was not sure of the range or description until this week. The figures are now quite old sculpt wise and are quite slightly built compared to some of the more chunkier ranges out there. 

They do paint up quite well given their age.

Last up are four elements of very old Mikes Models Chinese Light Horse. They were originally armed with Halberds but most of them were broken so I repaired them so they are now armed with plain spears. Putting them on new bases has made them quite serviceable given their age.

All the bases are finished off in my now standard basing style.

This now brings the 15mm painting tally from 1st January to 30th August 2021 to:

523 foot, 13 artillery & 4 war drums [150 elements]

212 cavalry [73 elements]

12 Bamboo & Paper Lions [8 elements]

3 elephants [3 elements]
