Picturs of WW1 Austrian-Hungarians

[Daisy]

Hi All

I am new to PD and have been browsing these and other PD forums over the last few days looking at pics of the PD products.

Seeing all the lovely minis painted up has inspired me to do my WW1 project in 10mm.

I am after some pics of your early war AH forces, more specifically some nice close ups if you have them.

I have seen the other threads here where the AH's are pictured but as I said above I would love some close ups !

Lastly, are there any plans to add more poses, minis to the AH range ?

By the way, I am a Sarfie, from Kuruman in the Northern Cape province.

Welcome Daisy. Hope you enjoy your visits to the Forum; you'll find some pretty lively discussions here - often amusing as well. Here are some A-H I've already painted up:



Artillery are also excellent figures, but cavalry are a little more problematic. The uhlan figure is lance armed, and this will need removing as the A-H army dropped the lance in the 1880s. The dragoon figure is essentially the same as the French dragoon and will therefore need the hanging tail of the plume removing. Once done this is perfectly serviceable as an Austrian dragoon. The hussar, on the other hand, has been specifically designed for this range and is a beautiful figure. Will take more pictures and post later unless another member gets there first.

Hello Daisy and welcome to the forum.

You'll find a lot of very knowledgeable and helpful people here - not me - I'd like to be helpful, but I'm not very knowledgeable - and everyone is very friendly as long as you don't suggest that hoplites could carry a spear underarm in which case some of the can be beastly. Except Centurion tanks - I know a bit about Centurion tanks. I can be a bit helpful on those.

What I would say is that the Pendraken team are very good and have the patience of saints with queries and questions and requests for different types of Centurion tanks.

Anyway, enjoy and join in.

Hi Daisy, welcome to a forum that is by turns informative, impassioned, helpful, supportive, amusing and downright weird!

Thank you all for the warm welcome, and thanks for the picture !

Are any of the AH in shooting poses ?

[lekw]

a couple more pictures of them at the link. Look about half way down the page. The poses are officer shooting with pistol and two infantry one on a knee and one advancing slightly crouched. I like the last pose a great deal.

Hello Daisy

Welcome to the forum.

Mark Dudley's blog has pics of Austrians, as well as Serbians and Russians:-

Also have a look at the new codes, the greens can be seen at :-

Austro-Hungarian
AH11   Infantry, kneeling / prone (10)
AH12   Infantry, marching (30) 
AH13   Bombers (10) 
AH14   Limbers with team (2) 
AH15   Heavy artillery crews (10)   

The prone figure is a shooting pose.



Cheers

Interesting that Dudley uses Africa Korps to add variety. I will have to look into that with my own Austrians. I like the fact that new poses were released but they are a bit odd to me in that I tend to like the look of troops of the period advancing more than marching along. I would have loved an Austrian infantryman advancing with rifle and bayonet or just different advancing poses something like peter pig 15mm. That being said I think the original infantry pack is very nice and the new poses could be useful for rear area.

Thanks to all that responded !
