Hi All!
Lately I have been dedicated to the great war, here are some pictures of the my new army in 10mm Pendraken:

It is the "Slesian" division of Germany, who fought in Caporetto (Kobarid) in 1917:

Nice looking figures from probably ( In my opinion) the nastiest and sadly much overlooked set of battles from WW1
Good looking figures. Shame I can't get mine to go on with any ease.
Nice.
Two questions - which rules? And which models are the guns - they look quite funky, a cross between modern and old.
Great job on those.
Cheers - Phil.
Great figures, nicely done!
Really nice, will have to order a few of those infantry now :)
What pack are they from Lemmy?

The guns look a lot like Austro-Hungarian 106mm howitzers. Maybe the Germans have borrowed them or maybe they are Austrians painted as Germans?
Nice job there, C 8)

Not me!
You'll have to address the question to the Soldier of Lead Ry. My best guess is the A-H howitzer. Figures are either late German or late A-H.
Thank you all guys! :)
@Fenton
You're right! You're right! The First World War was something terrible, and certainly out of Caporetto have written so many things that are not true ..
@Fred 12df
The rules we use preferably, are Blitzkrieg Commander and Crossfire (Adapted to the First World War). Now I'm reading panzer8 ..
@Ryman1
Correct! They are a mix of German and Austro-Hungarian WWI Pendraken : the project is not yet completed.
@Dour Puritan
Correct! The guns are Austro Hungarian (From: http://www.kaiserjaeger.com/) : Mountain Artillery.

Thanks for that. After Dux Britanniarum the next army to go under my Brush is Austro-Hungarian 1914/15.
Very nicely done 8)
Those are very nice. Love the basing and painting job.
:) You are very kind!!
Does anyone have any idea to make the barbed wire?
And for the trenches? :-\

Fine mesh the sort you get for repairing car body work , cut into strips then twisted tight..its still quite sharp after that though
hell .. you're a genius!! 8)
I have also another problem: that the trenches.. (in fact they were tight a meter)
here .. how would you solve it?
The only way to really replicate narrow trenches is to build them with the figures in situ. This means chopping figures in half to populate the trenches. Then you can swap "full" and "empty" trench sections in and out as required. Otherwise you're back to the time-honoured fudge of only having the front wall of the trench with an "L" section that you can place your figures behind.
I agree with Hertsblue, its the bases that get in the way...unless you want the trench to be a base depth in size or slightly large or its harder to get the figures out ( experience talking here)..Luckily with Pendraken prices being reasonable its a cost effective way of making it look nice with permanent trench troops
Very nice. :)
thanks moocifer!
@Hertsblue and Fenton
The idea of the "trench base" is very interesting .. :-\
In fact you gave me a good idea about: to represent the battlefield entrenched with the "base trench", using only the bases of the troops in the assaults to represent the soldiers in the open field ..
It might be a good idea :)
I'll have to make another order to Leon infantry to be sacrificed as a "half soldier" ..
