1914 Belgians from brigade models
« on: November 11, 2008, 09:01:33 PM »
I don't know if this was already posted, but I've just saw it on TGN

Belgian Soldiers!

Something a bit different for us - a small range of 28mm historical figures for the Great War.

At the moment we're concentrating on the Belgian Army of 1914 with their distinctive uniforms. The initial release covers the three types of infantry (line, carabiniers and grenadiers).

Over time we're planning to expand the range to cover :-
# cavalry ( Lancers & Guides )
# artillery
# cyclists
# dog carts
# additional infantry

and cyclists will be an excelent adition!

now just need to wait for the dogs!  :D

PS: edited the title name

Let me guess, a mad genius trying to conquer the world with abominable, animated Brussel Sprouts and Belgian Waffles? ;) lol

Splendid figures. Now, if there´s a fitting Minerva out there, I just might re-start my early war commitment.

very nice i remember doing a ww1 campaign in 15mm using peter pig belgians and besides looking rather strange with thier uniforms and dog drawn hmgs they managed to hold out until the the proposed army of antwerp was allowed to form and they soaked up loads of german resereves and made life easier for france, might have to have some of these.Does anyone know how they compare to gwm size wise?

I've put some comparison shots of Brigade with other models here (and if you go to the next page, you can see some of cdr's Belgians as well):
