Who cares that no one knows if the polish really used these guys in battle, they look so friggin cool!

My only gripe - there gonna be metal and therefore pretty much unaffordable by normal peoples standards :/

But by that logic Warlord's entire metal range isnt profitable, which I highly doubt

They did use them in battle, and to great effect I must add. Notebaly to great effect against Swedish and Turkish forces, but also aaginst Germanic troops during the wars of the period and later.

Oh well yes Polish indeed used Hussars! It's the back Feathers that everyone debates about

They used those too, they where made of osterich(spelling?) and they where known for the unnerving sound theyy made when they charged. Amd they where named winged hussars fora reason

Feathers are debatable. It's possible that they were used in earlier stage, but rather not later on.

Here you can find other Hussars from Wargamer (these are 15mm):

If my eyese do not lie those too have feathers, but since its debatebal I like to belive they did wear them. Notting screams hardcore than a heavly armoured man charging you on horseback with a pair of wings on his back
