Soldiers of the Empire! (Well, the Austrian one...)
« on: 28 July 2013, 07:23:08 PM »
Finished my first 'proper' company for IHMN - Major Otto Von Feldkirchen's Light Dragoons, Austria-Hungary's Finest!

The pictures are rather large though...





The figures are from Empress Miniatures' Mutton Chop range - the Ceremonial Academy Guards. Painted up in what turned out to be a mix of French light cavalry and Austrian light infantry uniforms of the 1900s - lesson learned; decide what uniform scheme to do before starting to paint...

The kneeling figure I modified to give a hunting/sniper rifle type thing - he has the hunter trait in my list, and the chap with the large gun-like weapon which used to be a Lewis gun was also modified, so now it could be a machine gun, arc rifle/cannon or whatnot.

I have a company list I've written, but I'm going to send it to the IHMN blog first to see if it stands up!

Cheers
Rob

Indeed, love the uniform colors!

They'll look great on the playing table.

Very nice!  :-*

Thanks all! Now working on a group of what can only be described as assorted chaps with hats.

Just sent the Austrian company list off to Craig, so hopefully it may feature soonish too.
