This is more of a pre-painting question really: Does anyone know what poses the Battle Honors Austrians Grenzers/Jagers pack comes in? Usually BH marks their products with poses like "marching" or "advancing," but sometimes they don't, and I'd like to know what I'm getting myself into before I buy! Thanks! |

1) Have you contacted 19th century for questions? Steve is very good at addressing these. 2) MY BH Grenzers are very very similiar in poses of the AB line – link Equiv to Grenz AB-KK26 & AB-kk27 ( but with officer, drummers etc). Ratios that come to mind is: ~1/3 march and 2/3 in the skirmish mix of charge, fire & reload. [My pack has been open and troops pulled so I cannot give absolute count.] Jager – see AB-KK31 and KK30- once again I believe ration ~ 1/3 march and 2/3 skirmish. I liked these over the old Glory Grenz counter parts but have both and mixed into single regiment w/o issue (they are very similar in pose and sculp). Hope this gives a better idea-good luck and happy painting. MG |

Thanks! I didn't actually contact 19th century…figured TMP would actually be better because people might have pictures (you don't happen to, do you?). Honestly, I'm just happy it's a mix of march and skirmish, because I'll be doing all of my Hungarian and German line in march/march attack. Just to clarify…in the Battle Honors Grenzer and Jager pack, you do get some of both type of troop? |

Yes you do (jager with Grenz- and I have many left over Jagers now) and the pictures are in the link in my earlier post- difference is just in the size, if you were to put the AB against the BH you would notice slightly larger troops with the ABs- same pose though and reason I refer you to them.

Oh I was talking about pictures of the actual BH minis. I did look at the pictures of the AB you linked, and should work fine for what I'm looking to do. Thanks for all of your help! |
