Saxon Light Infantry - Black Hussar 28mm

Light Infantry for the Saxons, Black Hussar Miniatures once again. These are available in advancing pose (4 different models, plus 3 command). 

I don't always add piping as it tends to be invisible on the wargaming table from regular viewing distance (though not in close up photos like these of course!). But given the fairly dark green and black uniform and small numbers of figures here, I decided to add a bit more colour with the red piping.

Helpful hint - Saxon muskets have red leather slings rather than white. I had painted all these and the next unit's white so had to go back and repaint them all!

I also added this faithful dog to the unit - another Black Hussar model if I recall correctly. Paint scheme I did by copying a photo of my wife's late dog 'Zelda' who came to New Zealand from Saxony at much expense (over 3000 Euros due to biosecurity regulations we have here!) and lived to ripe old age of 17. She can now guard these Saxon Lights forever more. :)
