These are metal figures, and likely the last Russian infantry I'll work on for awhile. I have the high command set to paint up too.
Although they likely still had white summer trousers at Borodino, I like them in their matching dark green pants with red stripes. Kinda the iconic look for Russian Jaegers, IMO.
I wonder if Warlord Games will ever add Jaegers to their line. Would be nice to mix them up with these.
I had some Foundry Russian Jaeger (Perry sculps) before and liked them a lot.
The ammo pouches are supposed to have the regimental numbers on them, but left them off as I didn't want to mess up the numbers and also didn't want to be specific with the unit.
Hopefully the Battle Flag hoplite shield decals will arrive soon so I can complete the Victrix guys. Until then, I'll start working on the Russian high command set.
Thanks as always for stopping by and checking out the blog. Best wishes and good health to all of you!
Beautiful Jaegers Dean, well done!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Jonathan! I think the green may be too light, historically, but it is eye-catching. :) Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteAnother lovely batch of figures Dean and I like the fact that you have based them in pairs...I always do that with my light infantry to distinguish them from their line brethren ....
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Keith. Yes, I like to base skirmishers in pairs on the same 40mm squares. I used to base them in pairs on rounds, but squares are more roomy. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteDean, your painting always impresses and these are top class. The choice of green and red marching pants is superb and sets this unit apart.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Ross

DeleteRussian jaegers are always cool 8)))
ReplyDeleteNice work, Dean.
Thanks, Denis! Yes, probably will have to get a few more so they cann provide some kind of frontal support to the gun emplacements. Best regards, Dea
DeleteGrest brushwork Dean.
ReplyDeleteThanks as always for your visits and kind words, Ray! Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteThey really turned out ace, Dean! The green is so vibrant.
ReplyDeleteThank you very, Nick. Yes, I think most folks paint the green a bit darker and move somber, but my green ended up brighter in spite of the Minwax stain. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteNice looking unit but it must have been a bear (no pun intended) moving with those plumes!
ReplyDeleteNeil

Thank you kindly, Kevin. Appreciate the visit and nice words as always. Yes, have the high command with Kutuzov to work on, and then wait for the Perrys to release their plastic Dragoon set. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteDean, you are as always on top! Russian huntsmen turned out to be very juicy and beautiful! I really like your style of painting, it is contrasting and from a distance the figures look voluminous.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the kind words, Dmitry! Much appreciated. Best regards, Dean
DeleteHandsome jagers, dean, and I agree, gotta go with the green trousers!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Peter!
