North Star 1866 Prussian Jagers - Completed

Based on 50mm Litko plywood rounds. They'll be in two 8-man squads for Bolt Action - maybe..most-likely. After the Minwax stain was dried (no thanks to the cloudy weather), they were sprayed with Testors Dullcote; followed by some highlighting.
At a glance, they look like Napoleonic British 5/60th Rifles.
I should be starting on an order of Eagles of Empires figures - which should be at my local post office for pick up. A box each of French, Prussian and Bavarian Infantry, and a box of French Hussars as well.

Until the next post, happy painting and gaming to you all!

  4. Nicely done sir, an era I've had my eye on, but never pulled the trigger. Just so many periods a person can collect much less paint:-O But you seem to find a way.

    Cheers

    1. Thank you very much, Kevin. I've sat on the sidelines of this period (well anything post-Napoleonic up to WW1) for a long time. The new releases from Eagles of Empire got me in - and allowed me to find these fine North Star figures as well. Kind regards, Dean
