This specialized 28mm metal set features six Duchy of Warsaw Uhlans in high-action charging poses with levelled lances, designed as a conversion or expansion kit for Napoleonic cavalry forces.
Recreate the thundering charge of the Polish elite with these masterfully sculpted metal Uhlans from Perry Miniatures. Depicted in their iconic covered czapka headgear, these figures are captured at the moment of impact with levelled lances. The Duchy of Warsaw Uhlans were renowned for their bravery and tactical flexibility, serving as some of the most effective light cavalry throughout the Napoleonic Wars.
This set is specifically designed as a "riders-only" kit, allowing hobbyists the flexibility to mount them on a variety of historical horse types. To maintain historical accuracy, these figures are ideally paired with French Light Cavalry horses (B 66), Austrian horses (B 74), or Prussian/Russian horses (B 82). While they compliment Napoleonic Prussian plastic sets, their metallic construction provides the crisp detail necessary for the intricate lace and equipment of Polish light horsemen.
