Austro Hungarians, Serbs and more choice for Russians (particularly Cavalry and Artillery with limbers etc).
How would these figures scale out with the Renegade lines? I have just finished repainting the early French starter set (2 HMG's, 18 troops and 2 Officers) and would like to fill the unit out more. I just received some of the Artizan Legionnaires without neck protectors who are taller but slimmer than the Renegade figures. I suspect GWM would be smaller as well.Edit, I just read the sticky about available figures. The GWM sound like a good option.
A bit late to the ‘pose’ discussion but I do have a useable 1914 collection of Renegade French and Germans and would welcome a far greater variety of poses. For smaller scale skirmish actions I’d be tempted to have several options for each figure so that the model of the tabletop can be advancing, then swapped for a kneeling firing figure as it approaches the stone wall, then swapped for a running figure as it leaps the wall and runs to the next cover and so on (OCD, what OCD?).Casualties - yes please, also fleeing figures abandoning equipment are always useful as ‘shock’ or ‘fleeing’ markers as well as for the general story-telling element above.For 1914, NCO’s/officers directing traffic, troops carrying supplies/loading lorries or looting shops, medical staff with dressed wounded would all be great as would HQ elements.There’s probably a list of poses emerging in this thread that could be used across any range. While I can see a standard advancing pose works well for large army level battles, the sort of smaller scale action typified by the Lardy rulesets (for example) really cry out for as wide a variety of poses as possible.Of course, I’ve disregarded any ‘profitability’ issues in this wish list
There are some prone/taking cover poses of French and Germans available that I think suit skirmishing scenarios you mention.https://www.stevebarbermodels.com/107--28mm-world-war-oneAs for Cavalry a new unit of charging German Hussars are hopefully released later this summer. Two variants with separate heads and an option to go for lance or sword.
