That's GM as in General-Major, the Austrian equivalent of a Brigadier General, not game master!
These are more Foundry figures. To the right is a Hungarian Cavalry general
Nice sculpts all.
To the left is an officer in the somewhat outdated hechtcrau coat from the late 1790's.
The black and gold sash was worn by all Austrian officers, from a lowly lieutenant to a Feldmarschal.
A second pair of Austrian Generals.
The figure to the right is from Front Ranks, and judging by the sash being worn over his shoulder, is probably meant to be a staff officer. However, he is serving as a Brigade commander; perhaps a battlefield promotion?
I am not quite sure as to the manufacturer of the figure wearing the overcoat. Maybe Old Glory?
The fur trimmed collar would be nice in December in Bohemia... say at Austerlitz?!
Regardless, he does have a rather weary look to him!
Nicely done, love the basing as well. You will have some nice set ups in April.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joe. I really like the "Alpine Meadow" flocking mix, which is what I used here and on most recent bases.
DeleteSplendid looking fellows...
ReplyDeleteAll the best. Aly
Thank you, Aly!
DeleteThese are terrific - I have no allegiance to any of these manufacturers (since the scale is a far-off land to me, and not one I would care to visit), but these are beautiful - lovingly executed, and an absolute example of what this hobby should be.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations - you could take these generals out for a beer.
Nice work.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Ray!
DeleteMore lovely work Peter. This must be quite a collection of Austrian command stands you are amassing.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lawrence. I have a couple more posts of Austrian generals to come. I have quite a few already; some will need to be re-named, a few may need to be re-based. The reason for so many Generals is the long range Wagram project.
DeleteVery nice group of Austrian senior officers.. I look forward to reports of their victorious leadership on the tabletop !
ReplyDeleteWell, the Austrians should have a real shot at wining the upcoming 1809 Campaign in a Day event!
DeleteSome fine gents to command those lovely looking troops below and below Peter. Bewdiful.
ReplyDeleteOne must put on one's best appearance when meeting the enemy! :-)
DeleteSuperb, inspired job!!
ReplyDeleteYou are too generous, Phil; Merci!
DeleteSplendid looking Austrian command!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thank you, Iain!
DeleteYeah what he said :-)
ReplyDeleteLOL!
Delete(preceding spam comment has been deleted... for the second time!)
Excellent looking leaders btw :-)
DeleteThanks, Gary!
DeleteAnd here I thought the black and gold sash-wearers were Steelers fans. . . .
ReplyDeleteLOL! Hapsburgs had those colors a few centuries earlier...
