The last miniature will have a rocket in his hands which will be positioned on a tripod. In addition a 6lb artillery piece will be available soon. This rocket and artillery piece will be usable for both sides.

My thanks to Geoffrey for posting the greens and naturally my thanks to Steve Barber for sculpting the figures.

The next commission will see further German Legionnaires, Hungarian National Guard and Polish Legion plus a mounted General Bem.

Thanks.

Helen
Best wishes,

Smashing figures! A good place to use them will be Komarom, where there were three battles in 1849. We fought the first of them this week (in 10mm rather than 28):

Thanks Chris for your kind words. Thanks also for linking your gaming report.

The Austrians will receive some attention after the Hungarians have some additional inclusions to the range.

Cheers!

Thanks, Helen. I really like what Steve and his sponsors are doing. The Hungarian war of independence is a fascinating conflict and deserves more attention from wargamers. And not just for the splendid moustaches!

Thanks Chris, Thanks to Geoff, a few members have taken the plunge to help out in this period. I've just given Steve his third commission for the Hungarians. There will be two further commissions of Hussars in the older pattern uniform, National Guard in skirt with assorted peasant headdress and armed with muskets. Then will look at the Austrians.

Cheers!

The rocket for the Hungarians is now completed by Steve Barber. This weapon was used by both sides during the Up-Rising. My thanks to Steve in making this model for me. This is the second last piece for my second commission. Just now awaiting on the 6lb cannon which can be used by both sides.



My third commission is now underway with Steve Barber.

Two Head conversions for the Honved. One a pulled shako and the other a Porge Kalap.





Three more German Legionnaires, Two National guard (officer an a Infantryman) and two Polish Legion (one an officer and the other an Infantryman).

General Bem mounted will be the start of the generals.

There is a mounted officer and drummer coming from another kind person who has commissioned some of the range.

Thanks for looking.

Cheers,

Helen

Before I forget, Steve Barber released on his website four more miniatures for the Hungarian Up-Rising 1848-49. Miniatures commissioned by Ed M for the Honved Officer an a Honved in Kepi. Geoff for the National Guardsmen from Bihar in skirt and shako and Steve Barber for the Honved wearing Fur Hat. Thank you very much for your commission work and continued contributions to the range that Geoff our esoteric collector/gamer started in the first place and had me join and commission Steve in adding to the range a little later on.

Miniatures painted by various artists.

So... Steve has been busy over the last few months sculpting additional miniatures for the Hungarian Up-Rising.

The releases are slowly coming out, but rest assured there are additional miniatures to follow this year and into next year.

Below are just a few of the intended release in the future:

Polish Legion:

 



Hungarian National Guard:





German Legion:








Steve Barber sculpted these figures on commission a miniature.

My thanks to Steve and Geoff.

Steve has worked his magic again for The Grey Heron, further expanding The Hungarian forces...this is truly expanding into a very varied army!
