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

  6. Nicely done David the light coloured bases certainly show off the unit nicely 👍

    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.
