Hungarian infantry instead of Austrian because Austrian already available.
Marching and Action sprues should have 5 fusilier with shakos and 1 grenadier with bearskin. Extra helmet and Grenzer heads.

May I ask which ones you mean are already available Admin? Yes, Italeri brought out two sets...One in the late 90's early 2000's (that is deadstock now and only available for 2nd hand sales like on eBay) and one around 2010/2012 depicting early period Austrians. The last one is findable but stocks are running low if not they are already deadstock and only available for people who stocked many figures before that time (like I did) or via 2nd hand sources (me again xd). I would definitely be keen to see Hungarians and figures for Grenzers but it would be a pity I think to not do the standard Austrian infantry...Since I think most don't have Austrians at all? How do others feel about this?

Hello
good news hungarian 1/32. Why not redo an Austrian attempt 1/32 with prepayment so that the company does not take any risk. I financially support future projects hat

I would be happy with German or Hungarian Austrians!
That said, I agree with earlier comment that there is currently ZERO competition for either (given that Italeri’s efforts are competent out of stock). Further, Austrian German regiments accounted for 75% of Austrian regiments.
Still, I more issue with the proposed split of line/grenadier poses than with Hungarians vs Germans. If Hat goes for action & marching sets mixed of Line and Grenadier, they must both rethink their traditional pose composition in these sets, and include more than one Grenadier pose in each!
Sets of both line & grenadiers implies it’s unlikely to ever get full Grenadier sets; that requires at least 4 total Grenadier poses between the action & marching sets.
My recommendation would be;
Marching set;
At least 2 Grenadier poses in this set;
1 traditional marching
1 advancing with musket “at ready” diagonal across body.
4 line poses; marching and maybe a similar advancing line pose.
Action set;
2 Grenadier poses; stand firing, and advancing with bayonet
4 line poses; stand firing, advancing with bayonet, reload, + one more action pose.
The other option is to follow your French light sets;
1 set German line (6 poses action & marching)
1 set Hungarian line (same)
1 set Grenadiers (same)
1 command set for all

I also though of this...When there are online two Grenadiers in a set...You need to buy many sets before having enough Grenadiers...I think the French light infantry set up would work, or Have MAC for the Fusiliers and having a separate set for grenadiers. The command set would then include also bearskins for grenadiers commanding figures. Exciting to see all this 1/32 news! I would be happy with German or Hungarian Austrians!

Concur with those stating there is no 1/32 Austrian competition. Was getting ready to buy ACTA Dutch and xacto blade the leggings. Stopped when it looked like HaT may move forward (far and away the first choice). Trust this will not be another years long event with a decision to cancel at the end. Will buy a couple boxes of Hungarians just because. Will buy 5 boxes of MAC German regiments for collection/wargaming purposes. Advanced payment not an issue.

I think Hungarians would be great, but I am partial to Austrian Line (swapable heads?) coming out first. As Stan said above, the Italeri Austrians are hard to find and, because they are divided between line and grenadiers, it takes a lot of sets to build up a sizable force. Additionally, the respective units only have 4 poses.
I know that I would purchase at LEAST 5 sets of Austrian line, but probably many more because I would want 150-200 helmet line and 50-100 Grenadiers.

I agree with Stan comment. There are no sets of Austrians available on the market. I have one Italeri 6858 bought 15 years ago and two 6884 which represents early Austrians (this set is out of stock too, only available second hand).

Yes, If I would speak in a general sense instead of for myself, I think it would be wise to start with regular (german) Austrian infantry and then continue with the plans as mentioned above by Admin...I look forward to those Hungarians too!! |

Brilliant news! What an inspired choice. I will be adding a dozen sets of Hungarian infantry to my 1/32 Napoleonic Austrian Imperial Army. Many thanks.

Post by Stan on May 29, 2019 10:15:00 GMT
If possible both I would go for that to! And then finally a set of 1808-1812 French with shako/Bicorne option to fight the Austrians. This would give an incredable amount of possibilities to cover French Infantry from 1800-1812. After that you would stop asking/begging haha! These infantry men would allow so many possibilities! Would be amazing to have french in Pre bardin :-) Best wishes, Stan |

Thank you.
