Best Prussians/Germans without baggage...?

[Dewbakuk]

I want some troops in German/Prussian uniforms but without backpacks, bedrolls etc. The only ones I can think of are Seebatallion types that have too much webbing for my taste. Any suggestions?

Not Tiger miniatures or Old Glory.

Have you looked at the Renegade WW1 Germans, some of them have no packs etc by the look of the photos on the website

Or Brigade Games WW1 East African Germans in sun hats?

Otherwise you are buggered, as all the FPW style Prussians that I have seen have a blanket roll.

How about Ironclad?

Nope they'se got backpacks too

I'll go take a look.

Blankets are annoying and look stupid.

Some have just waist belts, some have full pack and some have blanket rolls. All mixed together in the packs if memory serves, unfortunately for Dewbakuk. They also all have 1909 leather equipment, though that is something easily ignorable by all except the most fastidious button-counters among us.

Maybe someone would share/split a pack with him?

I've just reclaimed the laptop from my wife so I'll go take a look at the site. These will be for Order of Malta Serjeants-At-Arms, so I should be able to ignore the leather. Assuming I can get the figures I'd want. Off to take a gander, cheers!

[Dewbakuk]

Hmm, not many figures that are particularly usable. I was going to do head swaps anyway but too many packs etc.

Right, need to think of another idea as this one doesn't seem practical.

Brigade does three packs of Germans in greatcoats and pickelhaube that look to be "ohne rucksack"

[Dewbakuk]

Which range are they in Skrap? Hadn't considered greatcoats...

[Skrapwelder]

They are part of Brigade games WW1 line for Europe. I believe they are sculpted by Mike Owen and they have me thinking about totally revamping my Prussians.

[Dewbakuk]

Found them under Western Front. Brigade's WW1 range is good but it's in 4 distinct sections which can make finding a pack difficult. I'll have a think about those, cheers.

They are nice miniatures!

I am not sure whether all of them have backpacks etc.

They have the dreaded blanket roll Dewbakuk does not want.
