Perry Miniatures Tease More Plastic Austrian Cavalry Options
April 14, 2020 by brennon
The team at Perry Miniatures has been showing off more from their Austrian Cavalry plastic set which would have released at Salute this year. While it might be a little while until this gets released, they thought it would be neat to show off more details from this kit.
The plastic set comes with the vast array of options that you've come to known and expect from Perry Miniatures. The horses look dynamic and are laden down with accessories that all of these soldiers would have been carting off into battle. You can see some options for the Command Sprue above and how that translates into the bits and bobs below.
You've got a lot of different weapon options in here for the commander of your unit and then, of course, the additional options for the musician and standard bearer too. When it comes to Napoleonics, pagentry is everything and so having these big and bombastic elements helps build on the tabletop experience.
Massed Ranks
As well as the command element, we've also got a peek at the standard frames for the plastic set too. A whole bunch of additional options are available here.
This gives you an idea of how some of them might look, taking the Cuirassiers as an example. As with the command sprue, you'll also be able to take a peek at lots more options as you can see here.
I always like looking at all of the little bits and bobs that go into making Napoleonic troops. It also convinces me that it would take me a lot more effort than I am willing to expend to paint up a full army for the period. Now, if someone gave me one to play then I'd be all over that! Maybe I could even just go into it from the paper-crafting end of things?
Things are looking up for those who want to dive in and pick up some new Napoleonics from Perry Miniatures. Whilst they might have had to close their doors for a little while, they should be getting these new plastic options out into the world soon enough.
Are you tempted by these new options for the Napoleonic period?

I was thinking Peters Paperboys or Wofun would be a good way to get massed napoleonics on the tabletop and provide for easier storage, however that doesn’t take away that this new set from Perry is lovely work and would likely be great fun to paint up. The added options to allow for different regiments or speciality is great to see and only strengthens my respect for Perry miniatures.
Indeed – if you want detailed Napoleonics, Perry Miniatures has you sorted. However – as I’m a lazy fellow, having the paper armies would be a good shout!
Great well detailed looking figures.
Excellent!
So glad to see you can make pretty much everything except Hussars out of the one set. I suppose now there’s really no excuse for me not to start an Austrian Napoleonics army /sweat
The Perry’s really don’t do a bad miniature, do they? Lovely work as usual
