A 2nd Battalion of Roosian Jaegers

I have, eventually, completed the second of my four planned Roosian Jaeger battalions. It almost seems as if I had been working on these for eons uncounted! They are the last of the Roosian infantry using the advancing/marching poses, as the remaining two Jaeger battalions will be made up from the two packs of Firing Line figures plus a Command pack. One bonus for me will be that there are fewer figures to paint for each stand, perhaps 8 instead of 10 or 11? For now, here are the 2nd Jaeger battalion for your comment if you are so minded ~

The figures are all GWM, the flags from GMB Designs, and the bases from Warbases as ever ~

Next under the brush are a battery of Great War Miniatures Royal Artillery 9lb guns and crew. I really hope that these will not take quite so long as...

  2. Lovely job and fewer figures to paint for next unit must be something to look forward to. I know what you mean about the eons thing, I have a unit in the basing department and it feels exactly like that. I can’t even blame Christmas anymore.

  5. Splendid work David…
    Given the amount of brown/khaki on show that is certainly not a dull looking unit.
    All the best. Aly

    1. Thank you Matt! If you look around at shows for instance you will often see very dark basing which in my opinion detracts from the figures.
