Khurasan launches WWI range

[Khurasan Miniatures]

To commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the start of the war that toppled many European empires and ushered in the modern world (for better or worse), we are pleased to release 15mm models for the earthshaking 1914 campaigns, described by Winston Churchill as the most dramatic and monumental events in human history.  Before the trenches, enormous armies manoevured on the open field on fronts measured in hundreds of miles, the stakes no less than the domination of Europe.

Our first two ranges, appropriately enough, are the Germans and the French in 1914 uniforms.  The Germans can be used until 1916 and the French until 1915.

The Germans are in five codes ….


German infantry shooting


German infantry advancing


German infantry command (three non-coms, three unterroffiziers/offiziers, and one horn player)


German MG-08 heavy machine gun with five crew (machine guns had large crews in 1914)


German FK96 7.7cm gun with five crew

The French get the same basic mix, but due to their very large infantry squads there are seven poses of infantry types rather than six.


French infantry shooting


French infantry advancing


French infantry command (two corporals, two sergeants with pistols, two subalterns/officers, and one horn player)


French Hotchkiss machine gun with five crew


French 75mm gun with five crew

The BEF are well underway and almost completed sculpting; the dolly for the Russians has been made and they will be next, followed by the Austro-Hungarians.

Please note that we are taking orders for these now but they will be shipping in about two weeks.

Sculpted by Mike Broadbent, painted by Iain Colwell.  On to Paris/Berlin!

Very nice - btw, when I try to add 1914-german-infantry-shooting to the 'cart' it records them as 1914-german-infantry-advancing (the same with the French). It may be my computer, but aso it might be worth looking into at your end

Will you be adding cavalry and limbered horse artillery?

Just put in my order for what amount to two Regiments of French Infantry and 1 Regiment of 75s - for Great War Spearhead II. This is 48 Infantry, 6mgs and 3 75mms. Looking forward to getting these lads on the painting table!!

[El Grego]

Very nice!  I am looking forward to seeing the Russians and AH miniatures - can't wait   

[DoctorPete]

These look yummy!  Will wait for the Brits then decide if another period may get my attention.   

[Funghy-Fipps]

Cavalry?

[fastolfrus]

Any chance of Serbians to oppose the AH troops?

No European Stockist have to go direct to Mr K.
