Title: K.u.K Luftschiffkorps (K.u.K LSF)
Post by: wadempage on 12 March 2017, 04:41:08 PM

Working on an Austro-Hungarian company, essentially a newly formed group from the Dual Monarchy to utilize airships, balloons, gliders, etc. to counter the other companies efforts...  In the vein of the John Biggins Prohaska novels, which I'm a huge fan of!

Have a combination of historical figures and fictional to use as the heroes; for the rest, considering jaegers (Luftjaegers) and Naval Ratings to work the airships and equipment, though they'd be able to help in a pinch.

I was planning on using the jaegers from the Thule box, but am open to any steers as to better figures to use for that.  Also, haven't decided whether to go for the lighter-than-air or heavier-than-air option for the airships, any guidance or thoughts on that route would be appreciated as well.  Thanks!

Would some of the Austrians from Brigade Games WW1 range work or are they a bit too late?

Those look good, hadn't thought about going that far ahead in time to look at minis.  It's just my son and I playing, so we're pretty liberal on things like time periods of miniatures, it's more the aesthetic.
