Napoleonic Tyroleans

[dijit]

Not being a Naps player, I skim-read the title of this post as "Napoleonic Tyranosaurs", which would have been a whole other category of "cool and strange" different figures indeed!

Nice character-full figures anyway, even if they aren't reptilian! 

Well in a similiar line of thought - if you're looking for other uses, paint them green and you've got leprechauns with guns!

The rebellion of Andreas Hofer and others against Bavarian/French rule in 1809-10. It is one of the "other" Napoleonic guerilla wars.

Sorry for repeating myself, but are they already available from Eureka? Can't find them on the website though.

[Aaron]

doc,

According to Rob at Eureka USA he has some on the way to him for sale. A quick email to Nic should sort things out for you. I am informed that he is back from his annual circumnavigation now.

Thanks for posting these,

We should be able to use a few for the Irish and australian rebellions also


they should be available if you were a member of the 100 club straight away, otherwise you may need to wait.

cheers

Just saw them. lovely figures full of character. Tempting to use them.

So, an alternative use:

VSF:
Bavarians/Tyroleans/Swiss or whatever -trying to carve a new tyrolean state on Mars or other new world!!!!

[Etranger]

That mob is just crying out to get into some Vampire hunting!

[Tacgnol]

If anyone has ideas for alternate uses I'd be interested in hearing.

Tyrolean vs Predator.

Imagine the possibilities!

The possibility I imagine is the Preds will go invisible, use vastly superior weaponry, kill everyone and go aren't we the most awesome warriors ever invented? We are heroic :O

With that in mind, I have another parcel arriving this week featuring dead Tyroleans. I'll post images when they arrive.

I did suggest to Eureka doing a mob pack to go with the Frankenstein figures.

[cdm]

I was admittedly expecting something slightly different in a wounded pack, but the figs aren't too bad, probably not as wounded as I would have expected. Due to the low hunched nature of two of them with big hats, the photography was awkward.

looks like there all siting down geting ready for a picknick if you ask me

[Calimero]

The figure on the right make me think of a wounded soldier trying to get back on his feet. We see a lot of these pose in ACW painting… maybe that’s where the inspiration came from? Anyhow I think that they are nice figures. Are they available only in pack or as single figure? I got no use for Tyrolean infantry but the lady could be useful for quite a lot of settings.
