The first is the Stampach Cuirassiers of the Austrian Army. Founded on 6 of February 1682, this cavalry regiment has seen a lot, from Garrison duty in Transylvania back to the Rhineland and then to Blenheim, Landau and Denain and then back to Moravia. Then against the Turks or later Sicily, and during the War of Polish Succession it was the Cavalry regiment of Prince Eugene de Savoie. In the War of the Bavarian Sucession it was at Prague and the campaign in Bavaria.
In the Seven Years War its first "owner" was Karl Baron Karger von Stampach, hence its name, and was in the the thick of it, at the following battles: Lobositz, Prague, Leuthen, Hochkirch, Maxen and last not least Torgau, where they distinguished themselves by pushing back a Prussian Curassier regiment and capturing 3 standards and threw an infantry battalion into disorder.
And at last the only remnants of my Human/Empire Fantasy army, some of the "Reiksland Greatswords", from the time when GW made metal figures. But as they have a look a bit reminding me of Dürer/Altdorf, I let them gracefully age in my Renaisscance collection as Doppelsöldner.
