Some months ago Hinterland released additional figures in the line of female hussars and sailors. \u00a0At the time, the budget wouldn’t permit an order, but a month or so ago, I finally got around to ordering them. \u00a0This weekend, I finished painting the figures.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The picture (above) shows the female sailor pom-pom crew. \u00a0The crew is just three figures, the officer in pith helmet, the gunner, and the woman carrying another box of ammunition. \u00a0The fourth figure in the background is a sailor from one of the earlier releases and is not part of the crew.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This picture shows the artillery crew. \u00a0The crew does NOT come with a gun. \u00a0Most of us have extra guns sitting around that can be conscripted into service. \u00a0Now my female hussar force has some organic, heavy support.<\/p>\n

The princess is quite proud of her unit!<\/p>\n

The female hussar unit is not just a bunch or pretty faces, suitable only for parade duty. \u00a0They have had a good record on the tabletop in GASLIGHT games. \u00a0In addition, they are early adopters of “modern” technology. \u00a0In this picture you can see the only non-female member of the regiment, the robotic hussar armed with a Maxim-like weapon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In these two pictures you can see the entire force, including their new support weapons, self-propelled armored coaches, close air support, and mounted forces (both on horses and on raptor-looking “Death Jaws”).<\/p>\n
