TOPIC: Tyrolean Rebellion in 1809 |
Standard User Posts: 182 rsjahn 3rd Aug 2017 01:07:29 Hi guys, has someone an idea for proxies for Tyroleans in 1809? Spanish guerilla is obvious, but I think, the costumes must be really different? In early 19th civiian clothing is usually very specific, especially in the countryside. Something like this: Perhaps TYW musketeers with wide-brimmed hats? Cheers, Ralf |
Standard User Posts: 47 Igor 3rd Aug 2017 07:59:06 Spanish Guerillas would be the only ones in in 'civilian' clothing. Possibly you could use Jagers in Korsehut or some of the skirmish figures from the AWI/FIW range ? I therve the marthter. |
Standard User Posts: 182 rsjahn 4th Aug 2017 06:39:22 AWI/FIW looks indeed very good, thank you for the advice! |
Standard User Posts: 162 Stenbock 4th Aug 2017 02:59:49 Also have a look at the Boers in the Colonial Range. Sounds like an interesting project! |
Standard User Posts: 182 rsjahn 10th Aug 2017 11:54:04 Boers maybe of interest too, maybe for commands with horses, thanks!. The project will take some time, but I hope to do something this year. I'm just reading Gills '1809 Thunder on the Danube', that gives me a lot of nice ideas... |

I think they'd be good for a wide range of civilian insurgents (I'm thinking to paint them up as South American peasant troops) and would have agricultural weapons rather than muskets. You could also use the AWI Rebel militia if you don't mind a few tricornes, or don't mind filing them down. |

Standard User Posts: 182 rsjahn 8th Nov 2017 10:40:20 And some more in a better light this morning: Most of them are from AWB10 - British Light Infantry- Round hat, Campaign, Skirmish, some from the American range (AWR02, AWR10) The british fit perfectly well, only the very common red vest has to be added by simply painting it on the clothing. Bye, Ralf |
