Austrians and the Battle of Aspern Essling!!! (1 Viewer)

[FirstLegion]

We are very pleased to present the first release of our coverage of both a new nationality and a new Napoleonic Battle, Aspern Essling!!! Of course, this means the Austrians and we have started off with a very colorful release in the form of the Grenadier Companies of the 2nd Hungarian Line Regiment converged into the Hahn Grenadier Battalion. As with all of our releases, this one is expansive and consists of 18 different figures to lead the Austrian attack including an Officer, Drummer, NCO, Mounted Colonel, Standard Bearer, Sapper, and 12 Grenadiers, including dead and wounded. Though designed for Apern Essling, the figures fit perfectly into any 1809 or later battle which the Austrians took the field. So use them for Wagram, Dresden, Leipzig, Raab, or any other of the many Napoleonic battles in which the Austrians took part! The addition of these and forthcoming Austrian and troops really opens up a whole new array of display possibilities and will surely make an excellent, and much needed, addition to any serious Napoleonic toy soldier collection!

So those of you who may not think the Austrian uniforms were beautiful, I truly hope these figures put that myth to rest!!!

Ok, on to the figures. Because there are 18, I've posted just a few images here. The rest can be seen on our website.

A truly incredible release .. Hats off to everyone involved in bringing these Gems to market . :salute:::salute:: I can assure you these babies will be a permanent part of my "serious Napoleonic toy soldier collection" !

Sorry for jumping the gun with my link and announcement earlier today ,looking at the times that we started our respective threads you actually beat me by 21 minutes . Must be the moderated status that held it up :redface2::redface2: Regards Gebhard

Just plain great figures! I love the Austrian Uniforms. They were a preeminent power during the era and sorely neglected at this scale.
Just Beautiful!, Congratulations!

Got me drawn in, the Standard Bearer By itself is a prize to hold. And with the others, the expressions in their faces and overall poses. has me convinced to buy more.

With an ever decreasing toy soldier budget, it took me until yesterday to open the last one of these wonderful figures.

Tried in in b/w for fun, too:

Brilliant

Ya had me for a second when I saw the title of this thread, hard to believe its been six years since they were released. Beautiful figures, looking back at this old thread and the total lack of posts and interest it still surprises me to be honest.

Really nicely displayed and photographed :salute:::salute:::salute:: regards Gebhard

It was actually your winter photos that got me into collecting the Austrians .... As expected, your photos are one of First Legions best marketing tools.
