15mm Bavarians - recommendation?
« on: 31 August 2015, 01:26:58 PM »
Hello, all,

Having recently purchased a PDF copy of Lasalle, I decided that I wanted to create a Bavarian army. I also decided to try the 15mm scale, as I've never worked with it before, and the zvezda 1/72 minis easily available in my country fit with the game's larger scale, something I'd like to avoid due to logistics. I would love to hear people's recommendations for 15mm bavarians, if you have any.

Hi Punga

I recommend AB Bavarians, they are 18mm (as is the whole AB line) but they are the best in the 15-18mm scale, Warmodelling/Fantasin Bavarians also fit in well with AB for some extra variety if needed, the standard bearer in the below pic is warmodelling, there are more pics on my blog also, I converted the Grenadier Battalion using AB French Old Guard heads and used the greatcoat bodies to make a battalion wearing GCs, there are also other posts on my blog of other finished Bavarian Regts.
More pics here

I have some of the Battle Honors (AB sculpts) - they are very nice and scale well with the Fantassin/Warmodelling/BattleModels line.

Hello, guys,

It seems that there's unanimous concensus, here. AB miniatures it is. Thank you all! I promise to post some pictures as soon as I have them done.

Regards,

punga
