Husaria - Building a Polish army for the 1620s
A homage to Wargames Research Group
As well as building Hussars to form the units in my Polish army, I also had a crack at making a figure from my wargaming history. Anyone familiar with the Wargames Research Group (WRG) Renaissance wargames rules will recognise the illustration below. This picture graced the front cover of the second version of the WRG army list book that came out in 1984 (no fancy full colour covers back in the 80s!). I spent many, many hours perusing the lists in this book, and have a always liked this picture. I made the figure on the right by making a slight change to a Foundry Polish commander. I added the horse crest (an off cut from an altered Hussar wing), changed the position of the horse wing, and cut down the wing.

This is how the army lists described the front cover illustration.
